New Custom Tube AMp Day

Manufactured right here in SWAMPNECKISTAN --- by our own member OWEGI.......

Christened "The Little Sexy".....many months of painstaking collaboration--- conversation--- changes alterations......rebuilds and super quality wiring and solder work (none of this done by me---well except the problem parts) ........I present the 5 watt 6v6 The Little Sexy amp




Totally tubular dudes...........

Very very nice......yea, and sexy too!!

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Another very very nice.2 thumbs up

 

[eSGEe]

Thanks Goo.
Its very lively........the Panama is modeled after a 5F1 Tweed Champ, the Little Sexy has more of a Princeton vibe IMHO --- also it doesnt have the Panamas attenuation --- and this little brown box gets LOUD.

Owegi---are you SURE its just 5 watts?!?!?!?!?

 

[Hackmaster]

Gut shots & build shots please...
Repurposed transformers???
Tell us more of this mystical beast.

Congrats and enjoy a unique one of a kind build.

How did you get the faceplate made?

What circuit we looking at some variant of 5F2A?
valve or ss rectified?

5 watts gets real loud in a home setting, but a LOT depends on the speaker.
Tube screamers, Rangemasters and/or other clean boosts/ OD come in real handy.

 

[eSGEe]

let me see what I can find out ...... will get some pics.

This is awesome! How-why did you guys keep this a secret? Please reveal the process by which you got this beauty!

 

[eSGEe]

Owegi will have to relay the story of her build. he did all the heavy lifting (as many here may know i HATE soldering) -- The cabinet was repurposed...the face plates where hand finished....name plate was made from Owegis skill and an old piece of clear binder material I had lying about.

It started with Owegi asking me what i liked in a tube amp----then a model appeared....then changes where made.....a very organic process/...... and once completed well --- i COULDNT let anyone else buy MY amp that my opnionated comments help to make lol

Mostly I BITCHED about what i didnt like and Owegi made an amp that was none of those things----- and it is AWESOME

Transformers are old very old--- like 1950s era. The whole unit started life as a radio as I recall......
I know he is currently in his mad scientist lab "repurposing" an old magnovox radio --- it looked like this last I saw it------

No telling what amazing awesomeness will come out of it when he is through...........................
