Tube power amp for guitar....
-
I know some of you guys are musicians... well... at least guitarist like me. I wanna make a Class A tube power amp. I would prefer to use EL84s. I have a Tubeworks preamp that is pretty nice. I just need a power amp. Every schematic I've found online though has included the preamp. I know enough about electricity to not get into trouble. But I don't know enough to say "oh yeah just remove this and this and you'll have a power amp without the preamp". So my question is any of you guys know where there's a power amp schematic (around 10-15 watts) that doesn't include the preamp? nay

why make a tube amp, when you have semiconductors? just curious. There are many small Power Amp chips handle 15 W. http://www.national.com/appinfo/audio/0,1819,356,00.html[^] This page contains a number of semiconductor power amps, and if you look at the datasheets, it will give you standard circuit schematics. My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

tube amps sound much better than solid state amps, especially when you start talking about guitar distortion. solid state distortion is harsh. tube distortion is warmer, more melodic and happy. but, yeah, there are a lot of guitar amps out there with tube preamps and solid state power amps. -c
I'm not the droid you're looking for.

Not really. I have been using a solid state power amp with a combo solid state/tube preamp for a while. Easier to get the color through the preamp than the power amp. Anyway, if you get your color off your preamp, then you can take a line out feed and send it directly to any mixing system. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

i thought that's what i said...(it's what i meant to say, anyway) :) my current amp is a hybrid, but the best i ever had was an all-tube Fender 4x10. the louder it got, the better it sounded. mm.mm.good. -c
