has anyone built a SE rocket, a mate of mine is pretty impressed by my Rockster but its way to loud for a bedroom and has asked me to look at a single ended version of about 10 watts or so
For bedroom level with these kind of amps in which PA clipping contributes a lot to its distorted sound, you have to go to down to 1watt or even less. I would try VVR or power scaling. I have an AX84 HO (from 1 watt to about 7 watts depending on the output tube) and I ended up power scaling that one too.
