Hi all,
I'm thinking of building a <1 Watt tube amp / preamp for guitar, that I can use to drive both a pair of headphones, or a powered speaker / studio monitor. I live in an apartment building, so I'm looking for something quiet, but something that will allow me to overdrive the tubes.
I've been searching for a while to find info on such a project, but I'm not having much luck. Could any of you point me in the right diretion?
So far, I'm thinking I just need to build a preamp stage, and then a power output stage that is essentially unity gain, but I'm not too clear on whether that signal would be able to drive both a pair of headphones (~600 Omhs, 90 dB/mW) and my studio monitors (~10 kOhms).
Thoughts? Thanks for your help.
