a simplest tube amp for a beginner

[Gabriel]

Hi all.

I need to build a 1-5 w tube (preferably) guitar amp.
I'm a beginner on this, and i want to know what design i can start studying...

Anyone knows a proyect (with pcb layout, schem, etc) that i can download?

Any help i would appreciate.

Gabriel.

a PCB would complicate it !
i vote for Fender Champ, and its all over the web

Hi,

Either the 5F1 or 5E1 Fender Champ would be ideal.

I know a guy here who even has turret boards for them

But I have seen complete kits out there from other, which might be better for you (sorry, can't remember the URL off hand)

Cheers!

This is the simplest way to go - a Ted Weber Kit.

Loads of info and build instructions. I built his Se-5 from the info and added a tone stack defeat switch. He was closed for selling kits at the time so I built it from parts sourced elsewhere. Quite similar to the AX-84 but pictures of turret board, testing procedure etc..

Really good guy!
