Hello,
Has anyone else built any of the projects from "Building Vacuum Tube Guitar and Bass Amplifiers," Volume 1 or Volume 2, by Tino Zottola? These are books that are being sold by Antique Electronic Supply and perhaps other sellers.
I recently completed the Champ clone project from Volume 1. I made a few minor changes, using a Hammond power transformer instead of the stock Fender PT as well as a 4/8 ohm output transformer from Triode Electronics instead of the stock 4 ohm-only transformer.
Volume 1 has some other funky single-ended projects and even early Deluxe and Bassman clones that I haven't tried yet. I do want to get back to those after I finish the Mission 5E3 I just started. I haven't seen Volume 2 yet.
I'd like to hear from anybody who has built any of the amps from these books or hear that there's some interest before I bore anybody with additional details of the Champ clone project.
Keep 'em glowing!
Ian Abbott
