| Bluexurious, new custom tube amp
Hi, as my end-of-career project, I and another student from my university made a custom amp. We designed the schematic, chassis and cabinet. It's a 15W push-pull class AB with three 12AX7 in the preamp and two EL84 in the output, it has a Celestion G12-65 and a Ruby Tubes reverb. We design it to be similar to Fender amps in order to play from jazz, blues and other soft styles to rock. We name it Bluexurious and it really sounds great. Its similar to a Blues Junior or a Princeton but with some more controls, a warmer tone and with less noise and a additional channel for having a little more boost for solos, which can be controlled by te switch on the front or by footswitch. There are some things that can be improved, but I'm really keen on this first amp and we really enjoyed doing this project so we wanted to share with people around the web. Here it is a photobucket with some pics and youtube video with some demos, it's not high quality 'cause I recorded with the video option of my photo camera but it gives you and idea. I hope you like it. Pictures by jordileft - Photobucket |

In 1982 I "finished" what was basically a JMP 2204 clone, and I'm still working on it!

| You are right, there are some things that people never stop working on it, and that's good. I hope I'm gonna keep working on it and I hope I build a new different amp in the future.
