Sub-mini tube amps

[madbean]

Any interest in this kind of project? I've been considering one for myself for a while...even have the tubes and enclosure. I've just never gotten around to designing anything.

[Boom]

Yes please !

If no one else is interested, i'll promise i'll order enough to justify a startup !

[pauloman80]

Heck yes!  Count me in.

Like the ZVEX nano or  EH .22 caliber? Yes!

[Haberdasher]

Yeah, I'd like to learn more about this too.  Sounds very cool!

[madbean]

It would be an original design...most likely british-voiced, to start. I'm thinking something like a 12v input internally multiplied up to 70 or so volts, like most of the frequencycentral stuff. There are some safety issues to consider, though, since the higher voltages can definitely hurt you.

[lincolnic]

When you say "British", does that mean Marshall or Vox?

[madbean]

Yeah, I mean something "Vox" like.

Right, there's always a danger of someone getting zapped.  You should probably make a video outlining safety measures, and definitely illustrate a method for discharging caps.

[Boom]

Have anyone ordering a board for such a project confirm reading a disclaimer before finalizing an order....

[lincolnic]

Yeah, I mean something "Vox" like.

In that case, I'm definitely interested.

[madbean]

Cool. I'll start wrapping my brain around this one. Could be a super project!

Brian- just out of curiosity do you think this amp would use 6021w subminiatures?

[gtr2]

mmm yummy

Sure, why not!
