18-watt Denogginizer

[stormbringer]

Hi All,

I am tweaking a high-gain amp that I just built. The result is an 18-watt amp that I call the Denogginizer. I am still fine-tuning the preamp and adding power scaling, but so far I am pleased. It is powered by 2 EL84s and 3 12AX7s.

Thanks to Randy Fay from Phaez Amplification, who provided lots of parts as well as a custom schematic.

One of many photos:


The switch by the input is the 'Denogginizer' swich. Down is 'Lure', and up is 'Lop'.

Here is a quick-n-dirty sound byte of the amp in 'Lop' mode. The gain was half way up, while the MV was very low.

Here's a poorly recorded sound byte of the amp in 'Lure' mode (using the built-in mic on my computer, oops):

I like that one preamp tube right next to the input jack.

It's always changing, but this is pretty recent:
