Dear all,
Please allow a small foreword despite the bulk of my question is in the subject already...
I'm looking for a project of a small (18W) head which matches the main characteristics
of the Hughes&Kettner Tubemeister 18 which is giving a lot of troubles and which I fear
not enough reliable for heavy gigging (see my other thread on H&K TM18)...
What I need the most is:
A switchable two channel amp with a real clean and a lead/overdriven channel
Separete eq controls for each channel or at least a real eq with three controls shared by the two channels
Preferred but not mandatory:
12AX7 + EL84 and tube rectifier based schematic
a layout clearly understandable (I'm not new to tube amp construction but I'm not that confident to
stard a new project based on a plain schematic only.
I was very happy of the sound and versatility of my TAD retubed H&K TM18 but I can't afford to go gigging around with an amp that after two hours of work starts to make volume up & downs...
Thanks a lot for any of your thoughts and comments...
Fabio
