Tube Amp Archive

I appreciate the clarification. Thanks.

Checking through my Asteroid info I see contradicting info regarding the layouts and BOM for the 220K and 10K resistors. The full layout asks for 3 watt resistors, but the the individual board pics and notes call for 1 watt resistors. I presume that the 3 watt resistors will lead to a bit of insuran...

That's a lot to think about and I appreciate the input. If I do choose one, I think it'll be one with the ability to use a larger octal tube. Back for more research... Thanks.

I'm about to digest the monstrous Eagle Supre thread but was wondering what folks thought of other single-ended amp projects out there. AX84 amps? Hunter Two-Stroke/Weber Maggie? Trinity Tramp? The ubiquitous Fender Champ? It's not gonna be for playing out, nor for bedroom use, just maybe some recor...

I'm gearing up to build an Asteroid and need a burly speaker for a 12" grab and go cab. I sometimes use a hefty dose of fuzz and other noisemakers and wanted to know if anyone has used an Eminence Man-O-War with their Trainwreck-ish amps. The price is right and it can handle a lot of wattage so I fi...

I'm looking to source the parts for an Asteroid build and would like to get them from the fewest vendors possible. It appears that I can grab the caps I need from justradios.com but I wondered what brand they stock. They purposely are vague and state: "These electrolytic capacitors are factory fresh...

Now I see 'em. My lousy internet connection was taking waaaaaay too long to load the pages and I missed the bottom pics.

I can't seem to find any gutshots on that site. Am I missing something?

Canary wood is pretty and durable as hell to boot.

It looks great and from a distance, looks like a Tweed.

So I'm seriously considering building up this amplifier, but I'm trying to source parts from as few vendors as possible and to (hopefully) source parts locally. My local source has 10uF, 22uF, and 100uF electrolytics for the filter section. How much difference will it make to sub these for 8uF, 20uF...

Does anyone have the pdf of the Komet 60 manual they could send me?

Is it kosher to share that one?

Thanks for the info.

I've read up on the Asteroid circuit but couldn't find the answer. Is this amp able to use 6L6, KT-66, EL-77 or other power tubes or is it an EL-34 only designed circuit? Thanks.

I would love to have a look at those files. Thanks.
