It's taken WAY longer than it should have, but here's the near-finished amp! I just have to glue a few pieces on the back and it's done! Sounds great! He's at a friend's house tonight, so he won't get to play it till he gets home.  |

So....what are the goodies that are powering the amp? What's it got in it? Tube or solid state? Which speakers?

It's more or less a straight up 5f2, but with a choke and a lower preamp voltage. It has an oversized OT from Allen and drives a pair of WGS 10" Veterans. Sounds amazing. He only wanted the high input, so we singled up, and I used a better ground scheme. I had the kid solder as much as he could, and he helped with the cab gluing/finish. I didn't turn him loose on the table saw.  It's got the good stuff- 1w Carbon films and F&T/Spragues and all the other goodies. Nothing exotic, but nothing cheap. |

5f2-a, I should say, with the choke being from the 5f2 circuit. It has higher screen voltage and less noise than a dropping resistor. I really like it. I used a 33k where the 22k dropping resistor to the preamp and lowered the voltage to the ECC83 from 205 to 170vdc.
