I see you're using WIMA metal film caps, excellent choice.
Well not sure if this should be posted here or with the pedals but this is a low watt push pull amp I have running and am tweaking. I attached some pictures of the little guy next to my coffee mug.
PS Just to add the final amp will have a three position gain switch, gain control, tone control, volume control, speaker out and line out. Inside will be a built in speaker load so the amp can be used with just the line out for an overdrive box. An external in/out footswitch box will need to be used if you need to switch between overdrive and clean but that will keep you from stepping on the amp.

Here is a sound clip of the amp played through a Weber Signature AlNiCo 8 inch speaker. The preamp tube is a 6112 the output tube a 6111 output transformer is a Triad 230 VAC / 6.3 VAC power supply transformer. Maximum Watts out of the amplifier is 0.25 Watts.
Here are some pictures of the amp

cool project..
The first tube amp I built was the "Firefly"
It runs a 12AU7 power section for an output of about 0.75 watts...
Sounds good

What are these strings for?
Had parts for three so this is the second amp with a different paint job then the first. Going to look into doing a 1 watt or better SE amp using a 5902 pentode in a box just over twice the size of this one next.
Excellent stuff, Jim!Originally Posted by jim p
