Sub-mini tube amps

[FuzzMonkey]

Sounds great!

I would definitely be in for something in the way of the "Nano-Amp!" Mr. Bean, please let us know?!

Yes Please!!

Hate for my first post here to be a "wake the dead thread" but would love to see a madbean project like this!

I have two designs etched and partially populated. One just a couple of days ago. One is a variation on the Nano head and the other is more or less "Fender-y". So, yeah...this is still very much on the table. And, welcome to the forum!

[wgc]

Oh yeah!!

And thanks for the welcome!  Its been awhile since I've used pedals but decided to try some DIY to go with a valve jr I fixed and then modded to be more vox sounding.

Your layouts and PDFs are top notch, and I just got 3 boards from you last week, (cupcake, cave dweller, slow loris) really nice job, esp the plated thru holes and silk screen.

Hope to post once I get them into enclosures.

Please keep up the amazing work!

I'm sooo totally interested in this one.  I actually have a couple of firefly boards waiting to be built as well.  I would love to have a sub mini tube amp, but the MurderOne and Nano-head, are a bit pricey.. when this comes out I'll probably buy a few.

Bean, are you building in an smps to boost the voltage?

[madbean]

No, just cascaded diodes via a charge pump, like a lot of the frequency central designs. Gets up to around 80v or so. The heaters use a resistor.

I've got one of the original Murder Ones (one of the perf ones). It's a stunning display of Rick's skill and an impressive bit of miniaturisation. It's more of a curiosity or a cool object though than anything else. Mainly as my main amp is very low wattage anyhow. Actually I use it more as a headphone amp, which it's brilliant at.

Tube headphone amp? Yes, please!

A built-in cab sim would be way cool. I've never built a cab sim. Can anyone say if they work well?

Hi Brian

Any updates on this project?

[aballen]

Yeah man how is this one going?

[gtangas]

I have to share my sadness...  i want one of those mini amps!!!   I don't know why but i want one

any news on this?

Thanks

[aballen]

I just have to keep bumping this one.  Whats up Brian?  Is this getting close, or are you just afraid someone is just going to kill themselves trying to assemble one
