The Amp Garage

Hi, I'm interested in building a small amplifier with tremolo, like the gretsch 6150t or the supro 16t, but in the small combo from the gretsch or supro super. Here where I live it's impossible to find one of these, and buy one from the states would be very expensive, so I'm starting from scratch. I...

I'm no expert, but could it be too much power distortion? I have a SE amp that sound like that when everything is maxed, and I think it's because the preamp is overloading the poweramp,like a JCM800 preamp in a sensitive power amp,first comes a nice power tube distortion, but increasing the gain wil...

Hi, thanks man,

Hi guys, I wanted to build a small combo, with a low wattage speaker, but still using a guitar speaker, so this started around a jensen mod 6". I also wanted to build a real tube amp (not using subminiature tubes and SMPS) but i wanted more gain that a 5W amp. As I already build a High Octane, I fou...

I'm currently building another amplifier with a Jensen mod 6" speaker. It's a half of the 18watt combo. I'm using a open back and a 3w amplifier with big tubes. Would the 6" Weber be louder than the Jensen? Some hi-fi speakers have a high sensitivity (and price). There are also old radio alnico spea...

that's a great idea! I should try some more design ideas!
A small tweed amp would also look nice!

Hi guys, my new build is another subminiature amplifier, normally they don't show up here, so I created this post... it's based on Frequency central's "vibratone" (a Murder one with tremolo). It uses hearing aid subminiature tube 5672 and the output transformer, that should have 20k in the primary, ...

Hi guys, Your builds helped me a lot with mine. It's not my first tube amp, but I think it's the first worth posting here haha. I just finished an ECl82 PP amp, with a plexi/jcm switchable preamp. In fact it's a JTM preamp but i switch the first triode in parallel/series with the second. The power s...

Awesome build!
this last mod made this amp so versatile, are you using always the same cathode resistor?

You could use different tubes for different sounds, and power scaling to have different output levels.

Thank you and welcome to the TAG forum! We don't have too many builders here from South America... the folks here are muito bom! Thanks! I've been reading a lot of stuff here, the smaller builds of famous circuits are amazing. As for the knobs, I use davies 1900h knobs for my 1590a builds, tayda se...

Nice build!
love this little builds! Keep us updated!

Hi you all,
this thread is amazing, all that good quality pictures!

Matec I took a quick look at the board, and it looks similar to the JTM1 to me...

Just couldn't find C13 in your schematic. It looks like it is between R20 and ground.

I'm at this point of the circuit so far...

Cheers,
Thomas
