1W tube amp..?

[chrisz]

I'm looking for a 1W tube amp for home, bedroom volume use.
Anyone knows if there is something out there in the market?
I have a 5w using it at low wattage mode all the time and I feel its a bit same.

Marshall Dsl1?

Whattabout looking at installing a VVR in your current amp instead? then you can crank it in 5W mode and then wind its volume down with the VVR

Well... if you want build one, this is a little project I designed a few moons ago, runs off 12VDC. Lots of verified builders from around the globe. Build doc link on youtube page.

I loved my Marshall DSL-1R.

I have heard good things about Wangs 1W head, provided you have a good relationship with your insurers.

I really want to build this, do you have any pcbs for it still?

Hey reg, I'll have a dig and let you know

Sign me up if you have a couple.

I found the schematic ok but can't work out where the tube goes. The numbers 1-9 correspond to socket pins?

I've got the gear to build turret boards. Can you link me to that schematic and I might be able to build a couple.

Also thinking you could replace the basic 1 knob tone control with a TMB stack:



There's enough juice later on to compensate for any insertion loss.

Yep

Ha! Be my guest Mike, but it's prolly much simpler as a pcb project once you have a look... build doc here

Unfortunately, I'm out. There's an etchable layout on the build doc, otherwise if there's a bit of interest I could get some fabbed. Might be a squeeze to get 'em in before Chinese new year with COVID freight delays

Now that I've seen it - agreed!

Lads, I've ordered some fabbed pcbs will let ya know when they're in. Went post to keep costs down, prolly be a few weeks
