Hiwatt SA 210 style build

Post by dcribbs1412 »

Had the parts on hand
18 watt PT 290v
6K6 OT
JJ 6V6 powered using a choke, elevated heaters(SLO style), less filtering
Loud small tube amp. Biased fairly hot.
Really nice cleans and has some nice crunchy OD.
Takes pedals really well.
Probably going in a head cab.

Well that is a nice looking build there my friend.

SA 210 escapes my brain this morning, what is it?

That’s way cool D
I was also wondering what a sa 210 was. From looking at your picture I thought it looks like a hiwatt?
So I googled and it is... cool

Is there a schematic for this, I couldn’t see a good one for this
Thanks Joe

Hi guys
updated thread title
Hiwatt SA210 modeled after the Audio Brothers reissues of the 90's.

thanks D:
I was thinking of doing one of these, it looks interesting to me. When you said you used less filtering, what did you use?

Used 2 2x50 cans for PA
So no parallel 220 cans, not much but a little less. They measured 92uf instead of original 110 and 22uf for pre amp which fit inside turret board and had on hand. Opposed to 32 + 16
My ears probably wouldn’t hear a dif anyway
Its a cool circuit; simple,raw and the tone stack
has some good range to it. Lots of tones from chime
to crunch. The JJ6V6’s add some sizzle along with
balls and sound like mini 6L6’s. Original had EL84’s Im sure are very nice too
