Guitar Amp

Here's a guitar amp head I built in summer 2009. This amp was a tube stereo power amplifier for guitar, without preamplifier. It was given to me in order to put it into a rack cabinet (see the "Entropy" project). The wooden box and the metal chassis were discarded, so I decided to keep them and threw in some parts that I already had (tubes, transformers...). The rest came from Tubetown.de.
The amplifier features 2x6L6GC in the power amplifier and 3xECC83 in the preamplifier, for a 20W/4ohm output power (limited by the mismatched output transformer, and the low HT voltage available with the power transformer - the iron was intended for EL84).

The preamplifier consists in two completely independent channel, each with three band eq, gain and master. There's the option in the "yellow" channel to obtain a gain and volume boost called "red" channel (which has only a "gain" knob).
On the real panel has "presence" and "negative feedback" knobs  and an FX loop.

The "blue" channel sounds very *ender, ranging from sparkling clean to SRV-crunch and beyond (with humbuckers). The yellow channel sound just like your favourite british half stack, and the red channel can give a good gain and volume boost for leads or to obtain a very aggressive crunch sound.

Feel free to write me, for questions and suggestions.
