Yeah, they're kinda quiet without power and output transformers wired in!Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard
My bad. I do see now that you haven't built the dang thing yet!:!
That would'a be some trick, playing through a pile of tubes & bits n' bobs!
BTW, some more excellent clips can be found at the following link. Scroll way down the page to the "Amps" section of clips, and you'll see the Firefly listed there. There's a nice set of 3 clips that demo the clean, mid-gain and hi-gain sounds. Humbucker guitar, but it doesn't say what the cab was. There's also a clip by Doug Hammond (more on him below). Here's the link:
A bit more "credit where credit is due":
The Firefly is the brainchild of Doug Hammond, a familiar name among DIY amp builders. It's one of several amp projects listed at the AX84.com website, a very cool DIY amp building site run by Chris Hurley, the proprietor of Doberman Music Products. There are some nice bigger DIY tube amp projects there, too, if you're looking to build something with more muscle. What John Calhoun did was to take the project and design a very nice PCB to build it on, and then put together a really outstanding set of instructions, complete with a full bill of materials, sourcing/part # info (this saves hours!), chassis templates, and more. A big tip o' the hat to Doug, Chris & John!:
