4 watter high gain tube





high gain 4.5 watt using 2x 12ax7 and a single ended el84
secondary voltage 240--ct--240 which produce about ~290 after rectify. 3.15--ct--3.15 2.5A for the heater. not really loud ,can play in house but will scream if attached to 4x12 celestion or higher sensitivity speaker.. design to distort at low level due to high gian preamp.
enjoy the clips!

old input jack


new input jack relpaced due to old part got leaking (ground)
stabalizing the bias section..
new chatode caps and dc blocking caps.

twin reverb (2)



bias resistor change from 33k to 22k to increase the bias, bias hotter to achive better tone IMO..
increase the bias by reducing negative supply to grid(pin 5) from -40v to about -35v..



plate voltage (pin 3) - 460 v (all 4 tubes)
S.grid voltage (pin4)- 450v (all 4 tubes)
- bias ~ -35v
change all coupling caps for preamp and trem chatode ,change all filter caps due to old one already burst out...

stereo tube hifi

wooden box made out of pine..











my first stereo tubes amp design for hifi use.
2 x el84, 1 x 12ax7.
preamp plate voltage ~100v
el84 plate voltage 240v, screeen grid voltage 235v(both tubes) ,with chatode resistor 120R(chatode bias)
sounded great due to single ended config, but depends on speaker too.
