Tubes and the Big Khorns


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I recently purchased a DIY set amp off Ebay from a guy who builds them for sport and not financial gain. The amp puts our 2-3 watts and uses Mullard tubes and has a nice simple design. The Output tubes are 6BQ5's. The sound is warm and the bass is very good on the big K-horns. There is actually plenty of power to spare. I picked the amp up for about 120.00. What I like about this amp is that the guy gave me a 90 day warranty and the amp was recently built with mostly vintage gear that had been tested.

Anyway, I bought another DIY amp from another builder but it's based on the 6AQ5. I understand this is a 7 pin tube with low gain. Here is a link of the amp. I would appreciate opinions on the amp from what you can see and how the sound/bass would fair on the big K-horns.:
