Stickman builds his first tube amp

Update!

I've been doing a bit of fab work for this thing.

Updates: fuck it, I'm gonna put it in a pre-made cab.

Why? Cause I want to get this one done faster, and my router table needs some attention before I'm gonna be ready to make a cabinet. So, whatevs.

But, I have made a little progress.

Toroid mounting:

Originally I thought "eh, fuck it, I'll just make a little adapter plate that has recesses in it to route the wires through".

V1 wasn't so great. Not enough clearance underneath, would have squished the wires. No bueno.

So, trimmed the fat. Made it a diagonal piece. Much better now.

Then, I cut up the turret board. Easy nuff. I'm using the hoffman layout in lieu of the original setup.

Got my caps in place & a couple of the higher current resistors.

Now, wait for the rest of my parts to come in.

And it's gonna have a name.

Ya know. Like a champ. But really, like a chump (eyyyyyy).

More to come.
