ecp & Pickett Furniture Guitar Amplifier Prototype

This is another partnership with Pickett Furniture. The circuit uses a pretty standard 12AX7 based gain stage. It then uses a FET source follower into a 1:1 transformer as a phase splitter, and a fixed bias push-pull EL84 triode output stage for a couple of watts of power. Case is solid walnut. Speaker is AlNiCo from Weber.

Low Voltage, All Tube, Guitar Amplifier for Headphones

I was browsing though some space charge tubes (these were tubes designed to operate at low voltages -- usually for car radios) recently and happened upon the 12K5 which is designated as a power output tetrode. I thought it might be useful for driving some headphones, and when I went looking, it turned out that others had been here before me.
