Mad Daddy Guitar Amplifier. Basic Champ style 6V6 single ended Head, sweet!

Description: Do you want a boutique style hand wired guitar amp that you can afford? Do you like the single ended 6V6 sound that was so popular in the 1960s? Well you will like the Mad Daddy Basic amp I have for sale in this listing! I build these using an EVJ chassis, transformers, and cabinet (used cabinet, so it may not be perfect, but nice) and make my own hand wired, point to point circuit, to create my own version of a Champ style amp. Single ended amp, 6V6 power tube, New JJ, or used old stock RCA manufacture. 12AX7 preamp tube, new JJ or used old stock Tung Sol or other quality old stock tube. 12AU7 reverb tube, used old stock. This one has a very nice GE 6V6 power tube and a nice Baldwin 12AX7 preamp tube.These things sound incredible! You can choose between 4, 8, or 16 ohm speakers. The Combo version comes with the EVJ Eminence 16 ohm speaker. The head does not have a speaker, you will have to provide your own. These things sound great through a quality 12" speaker! The amp just has a volume control, like they had way back when. It starts out mellow low, and screams distortion on high. All you have to do it turn the knob. But that can be the volume knob on your guitar as well. You can control the sound from your guitar. A lot depends on how hard you are driving the input, single coil, humbucker, pedals, and how hard you dig in on the strings. Your playing and guitar controls are very effective in getting a wide variety of sounds from these amps. I measure every resistor before it is installed, and check each tube to make sure it measures good on my tube tester, but also sounds good in the amp. The component values were chosen using a decade box to try different values in my circuit to see which one sounds the best to me. This amp is built with full wave bridge rectifiers for both the B+ voltage and has AC filament voltage with a phantom center tap. That makes this amp almost dead quiet at wide open volume, with nothing in the input jack. How quiet it is with your guitar plugged is will depend on the quality of your cable, the shielding in your guitar, and the electrical environment where you are using the amp. I have this amp available in several versions, Head, with or without reverb, Combo, with or without reverb, and a choice of tubes and Baxandall or Gresch single knob tone controls. Different pricing on different versions ranging from $450 for the base head to $850 for a Combo Reverb.I will do yours for $150 cheaper! If you have any questions, contact me. If you want to play one first, come see me and try them.
