    Mullard 3-3

    I ran across this odd ball kit. Not your typical guitar amp.

    Tode Guitar Amplifier Kit | Bottlehead

    Click the 'MORE' tab at the bottom of the page for a little more detail. The insides look like a rat's nest. Yuk!

    This is the old Mullard design it's based on.

    Mullard 3-3. Three Watt Amplifier

    Direct coupled EF86 to EL84. Voltages near the bottom of the page. Anyone wanna try to build one?

      $600? For a Champy-Amp? Not bad... there's a guy in NoVA charging $2000 for them...

        $2000 he wants. Has he sold any? At that price, or a secret cash discount?

        Lots of tyros want to be the next Dumble. Sure, step right up, let's see a list of satisfied customers and what they actually paid.

          Oh, well the Washington DC area has much higher cost of living than other places, so $2000 seems pretty reasonable...

            Well, my answer was "a Champ? Look, I know the cabinet is cool, but, seriously? I know that old suitcase didn't cost $1200..." For that kind of $$$, I'll get an ACTUAL Champ!

              Leo,

              I think he's sold at least three... Well, the store has, anyway. I won't buy one!

                Wonder what the store's share of the loot is?

                Fender has their "authentic" 50's tweed Champ list price right around two grand, must cost 'em $50 to make. Too bad they can't sell 'em all day long, that would go a long way towards solvency.

                And you - of course you won't buy one - you can make a better one yourself with a lot of change left over.

                  What's a NOS EF86 worth? Will a contemporary one work with 20V plate voltage and be low in microphonics?
