Bits and pieces for my amplifier project are piling up in cupboards and in my garage. Today I gathered some of the most important pieces to see how they would fit onto the chassis I bought recently and as you see, there is plenty of room. I could even fit in two power-tubes side by side and as the power transformer is big enough, I could really go for two tubes and reach close to 200 W but that would be slightly overkill in the garage :) Anyway, I may install the second socket for further experiments but leave it empty at the moment.Behind the preamp and driver section is plenty of room to install reverb- and spring-echo circuits if I want to.
The speaker cabinet is shaping up in my garage. It is built out of pieces cut out of 21 mm. thick plywood of spruce. It is not just a simple box with an open back, It is not an airtight compression box either. It is provided by internal ducts arranged to improve the respons in the bass region. I will not reveal more until I have tuned and tweaked it. The process reminds me of tuning an accoustic guitar. In the end I may fail and then I just convert it to a traditional open (or closed...) box.
