Tube amp build (s)

[Marcel]

Uummm.. I could be mistaken but to my eyes the pic of the completed amp bottles shows half a 12AX7,two EL84's as finals, a filter cap and rectifier bottle..... If they are 6V6's the photo has some optical size distortion going on as they don't look like any in my 45y in the electronics/tube repair game that I have seen before.

Marcel, you are correct. They are EL84's. I was just confused because the thread started out as a 5E3 build.

Hooray and well done! It looks great.

Is a sound demo forthcoming?

I'll definitely try a demo. I'm not a very confident guitarist, so I'm always a bit hesitant to share anything, but I should get over that anxiety really

Looks great. Hope it sounds great too!

With that colour, it should be a "Prince-ton" (get it???)

Ah ha ha

+ 1 for looking great. I'm in awe. What great skills to have.

Thanks! I couldn't have done it a few years ago, and I still have an awful lot to learn, but it's been a lot of fun.

Yeah, 15W EL84 tube amps to my ears are super nice cranked... plus you can play them wound up to 10 and still be able to hear things afterwards...

Agreed! (I think my wife agrees too, ha ha)

Yeah, sorry, I figured I'd roll all future builds into the same thread - it's probably a slightly confusing way to do it...
