5-Watt British Rocker

Hey folks,
Just thought I would share a few pics of this Ampmaker SE5a amp I just built up. Got the kit from Josh here (1776 effects) as he decided not to build it up. Pretty cool sounding little monster and gets LOUD with my Eminence Wizard speaker.

Probably the easiest amp I have built to date. I had other plans for this but probably won't hang on to it as I have some other expenses that came up. If anyone might want this little bad boy let me know. It works fantastic and sounds great.

Super clean build. I just love the point to point stuff. Also, how do you like the Eminence Wizard series? I was looking at them for a cab I was building.

The E Wizard is a nice speaker. It is SUPER efficient (103db) so it will make anything loud and clear. Very tight bass with moderate mids and highs. I would say very well balanced overall.

WooW! this wiring and everything else looks fantastic.
it might be possible to write down the schematics just by looking to your build.
looks pretty complex thou...maybe i will give it a try in a couple of years...
cheers

Really not complex at all. This would be a great first build for anyone here who has not built a tube amp. Really does not get much easier than this one. Now a Vox AC30? You'd better hold on that project for a while

Beautiful work - so clean and pro looking.

I was reading about the new version that comes with voltage control and some other new features. He's got some really interesting transformers for sale, too, like a low wattage push-pull.

Great, thanks for that.

Yes he has added a fat boost (switchable cathode bypass cap on V1) and a variable voltage control. These are easy mods on this one as well. If it hangs around I might play with it a bit.

I read this before and was distracted enough by the pretty photos that I forgot to comment.  It really looks fantastic.
