About: Started playing guitar but developed a serious taste for pedal and
amplifier building. Interested in smaller builds, for portability and lower
volume settings, mainly using vacuum tubes and older technologies … More About
ThomasH358 »

Inspired by my previous project, I decided to build a portable tube amplifier
that uses normal sized tubes, which are easily found in guitar stores (12AX7 and
12AU7). The power stage is based on my bluetooth tube amplifier, which delivers
about 1W of output power. For the preamp I choose a classic design, the OR120,
famous for its characteristic tones. Coincidentally, this amplifier also uses a
cathodyne phase inverter, which frees one extra triode for the preamp. Any other
preamplifier with 3 triode gain stages would also work.

This instructables will be structures as:

 1. Circuit and schematic
 2. Working on the enclosure and hardware assembly
 3. Layout and circuit soldering
 4. Voltage adjustment
 5. Final result and Soundcheck

Disclaimer:

Although this is a small tube amplifier that works with only 10mA, it still
contain high voltages, up to 250 volts DC. Be careful! Do not touch the circuit
while the amplifier is turned on.

This is not a project for beginners! If you want to build this amplifier,
practice first with some lower voltage amplifier using the LM386, for example.

SUPPLIES

This amplifier, as in previous cases, is powered by a 12V 2A wall wart and uses
a switched mode power supply (SMPS) to generate the 240V necessary for the
tubes. To keep things simple, I decided to use a ready to use SMPS board
available on ebay. Let's check the parts list:

STEP 1: CIRCUIT AND SCHEMATIC




The most complex part of the circuit and less forgiving is the power amplifier.
There you will have the highest voltages and currents, and we do not want to
melt your tubes (or valves) after just some hours. Since I used the same power
stage as in my previous instructables, we can go straight to the loadline, shown
in the first picture. It is much easier to design this stage using an online
loadline calculator.

With a 32k:8ohms transformer at 240 V bias is at -11.5 V, with a cathode current
of 2x4 mA (2 triodes in push-pull), which gives the 11.5 V/ 8 mA = 1.4 k
resistor and an output power of about 0.94 W.

Compared to the original design, which uses fixed bias at -47v (4 times our
bias), the lower bias will overdrive much earlier. To counter that, I added the
post phase inverter master volume, a grid-leak resistor of only 100k (R19, R20)
and grid stoppers (R21, R22). I also reduced the gain of the phase-inverter by
reducing the plate and cathode resistors to 68k (R17, R18). With the
post-phase-inverter volume control I can achieve both clean and highly distorted
levels (higher than in the original design). The 100k leak-resistors are also a
safety measure, in case the potentiometer goes bad.

In case someone wants to make it closer to the original amplifier and skip the
master volume control, adding a 300k resistor between C12 and R19 and C3 and R20
creates a voltage divider with the 100k grid-leak resistors. This results in the
desired signal reduction (1/4 of the original signal).

This amplifier also uses a negative feedback network, as in the original
amplifier. To achieve the 6 dB attenuation I measured the voltage amplitude of a
800 Hz sine wave at the output, with and without the feedback resistor. A value
of 6.2k (R26) resulted in the desired attenuation. If you want to make things
interesting, you can add a potentiometer and vary the resistance between 25k and
5k and hear how it changes the response of the amplifier.

The remaining part of the preamp was kept the same. The resulting schematic is
shown in the second picture.

STEP 2: WORKING ON THE ENCLOSURE AND HARDWARE ASSEMBLY

2 More Images



Before we start drilling and sanding, let's do a little design planning...

The pedal enclosure used here has to fit all parts, including tubes and
transformer. The width of the front (side) limits the amount of controls one can
use here, unless they are in two rows, as in my previous build. Here I wanted to
keep some of the look of the original amplifier, and therefore I needed larger
knobs. To fit both tone controls I still used 9 mm potentiometers. A complete
tone stack (treble, middle, bass) would fit if at least the gain potentiometer
and knob were also smaller.

Another aesthetic choice was the positioning of the three tubes in a row. Not
only it gives more space in front of the tubes, it looks more what one would see
in a large amplifier. To make it even closer to the original I wanted to add a
large metal front plate that would also have the logo and hide the tubes. The
tubes will still be exposed from the back, though.

A drill template with the position of the components is shown in the first
picture of this section. I used real sized vectors of the parts to have an idea
of the size and end result. Notice, that the screws that hold the tube sockets
are not present. I always add them later, with the socket in position, so if I
made any mistake during the drilling of the socket holes the screws will still
be at the right position. The second image shows the box already done. For the
input jack and the LED socket's nut to fit I had to remove some material from
the inside of the enclosure (see red circle). A rotary tool will do the job
quite nicely. Do not forget to drill the holes for the output jack and the power
jack. They should be close to the side of the box where the transformer is
located, while the output jack should be about 30 mm from the outer edge so that
trimpot and capacitors of the SMPS board still fit.

Picture 4 shows the tube (valve) sockets in position. I also used the screws
that hold these sockets to hold the lug tag strips. See if you can find one that
matches the distance between the socket screws. Ideally it should be screwed at
2 positions. I drilled holes in one of them, so they would fit. Last picture
shows the transformer in position. Notice that I cut a small part of the
transformer, so that it is not longer than the width of the enclosure. The extra
supports are for the front plate, but they are not necessary in case you prefer
a design where the tubes are visible.

In my build I also added some etched symbols for the controls. If you are
interested, check steps 5, 6 and 7 here.

STEP 3: LAYOUT AND CIRCUIT SOLDERING




The first picture shows the layout used for this build. It uses a point-to-point
approach, without a PCB or turret board. Before installing potentiometers and
jacks it is suggested that one installs the main circuitry first. The
positioning of the wires (lead dress) and grounding scheme play an important
role in keeping noises under control.

The steps are:

 1.  Solder heater wires (braided green and blue wires to pins 4 and 5 of all
     tubes).
 2.  Solder ground wires (black wires) between tube centre lugs and the lug of
     the terminal board.
 3.  Solder the resistors to the sockets. For lugs where there is more than one
     only solder when both are in position.
 4.  Solder the coupling capacitors (in red).
 5.  Solder the electrolytic capacitors and bend them, so that they are laying
     parallel to the back wall
 6.  Install the input jack. Add the 1M resistor directly to the jack. Add a
     wire or component leg between the plastic and the enclosure while you screw
     it in position. This will be the only connection of the ground to the
     enclosure. It should be right at the input to reduce noise.
 7.  Solder the components and wires to the gain, treble and bass potentiometer
     outside the box. To use the correct lengths and spacings insert the
     potentiometers from the outside of the enclosure and solder in position. In
     the end there should be 3 unconnected wires: ground (black), the input
     (100k and 330pF legs) and the output (blue wire to the tube socket). For
     the output use a shielded cable, and keep the connections to the 100k
     resistor and 330pF capacitor as short as possible.
 8.  Mount the three potentiometers and solder the unconnected wires. The ground
     wire should be connected to the input jack. This way it is closer to the
     preamp's ground bus.
 9.  Solder the 5 wires to the volume potentiometer.
 10. Mount the volume potentiometer and solder the wires to the correct lugs.
     The ground wire should go to the central post at the 12AU7 tube socket, and
     not the input!. This way it is closer to the power amplifier ground star.
 11. Add the LED socket.
 12. Solder the LED to the resistor. If possible insulate any exposed part with
     heat-shrinking tubing.
 13. Solder the LED and wires to the SPDT switch.
 14. Add the SPDT and LED to the enclosure.
 15. Solder the LED ground to the power star-ground.
 16. Solder the wires to the transformer. 0 and 4 ohms on the secondary and 0W,
     2.5W and 0.625W at the primary. If possible braid primary wires. Since this
     amplifier works in push-pull the 0W wire carries the opposite signal of the
     0.625W wire, reducing any sort of noise.
 17. Solder the primary wires to the tube socket and to the high voltage node.
 18. Solder the secondary wires to the output jack.
 19. Ground the sleeve of the output jack (power ground).
 20. Add the feedback resistor directly to the output jack and a wire to the
     correct socket pin (purple wire).
 21. Solder wires to the DC jack, according to the wall wart you are using
     (centre negative or positive). The layout shows the connection when using a
     12v pedal power supply. I used a normal 12v power supply (centre positive)
 22. Mount the DC jack to the enclosure and solder the wires to the SPDT and to
     the power ground.
 23. Solder the wires to the 5 (or 6) pin connector (header) following the
     sequence shown on the SMPS board. In my case I left the EN pin unconnected
     and only used one of the GND connections, since both were already
     connected.
 24. Connect the SMPS board. I soldered my connector, so that it is located
     close to the lateral of the enclosure, with trimpot and large capacitors
     above the DC jack.

The second and third images show the assembly with and without the SMPS board.

STEP 4: VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT




Before turning the amplifier on it is a good idea to check if parts of the
circuit are working correctly.

 1. Without the SMPS connect the 12v supply and turn the amplifier, with the
    tubes (valves) in position. The LED should light up and the filament of the
    tubes should glow.
 2. To verify the SMPS and adjust the output voltage we need to add the 12v and
    GND connections to a DC jack. To ensure it will work at the desired load
    240v/10mA= 24k, add a 24k resistor between HV and GND and connect the SMPS
    to the 12v wall wart. With a multimeter measure the voltage between GND and
    HV. Adjust the trimpot until the measured voltage is at 240v. If this
    adjustment is done without the load, the voltage will drop a little once
    there is a load. This way we can ensure the correct voltage when under load.
 3. Unsolder or disconnect the DC jack and load resistor from the SMPS and
    connect the SMPS to the connector in the amplifier with the amplifier turned
    off.
 4. Before turning the amplifier on, prepare your multimeter to measure the
    voltage at the high voltage node in the amplifier (transformer's centre tap
    or at the 15k resistor).
 5. Connect the speaker to the output.
 6. Turn the amplifier on and check the voltage. It should be around 240v and
    can drop a little while the tubes heat up.

For guitar and on a budget it is quite good. The goal is distortion, not HIFI.
There is also a difference between wire gauges for each power rating, which also
affects the balance of the output stage, and may be even more influential than
the number of turns.

Hallo, i like this project! Is the amplifier for Electric Guitar only or can ist
be Used as normal amplifier? What is the expected frequency range (-3dB)?
Furthermore I do not understand the purpose of the stereopoti in the power
stage? Could you explain this briefly?

Regards Andreas

It can be adapted to be used as a normal amplifier. For normal audio there is no
need for all the gain available, and one stage could easily be dropped. Maybe
even a whole tube.
The stereo-potentiometer works as a post-phase-inverter master volume. This way,
there is some additional distortion from the phase inverter. If the master
volume is before the PI there are less stages to shape the distortion.

Excellent project. Have a few questions. Did you have oscillation problems,
hence you added C10? Is this because the switcher was running at 120KHz?
Checking out your other posts as well. Thanks for the write up.

C10 is part of the preamp circuit I used. In the original amplifier it probably
was added for this purpose.

Thanks for sharing and the most excellent write up.. I actually ordered a 20$
preamp board from eBay today, my plan is to use or was to use to make a tube
preamp stomp box/peddle and gift it to my brother for his birthday.. I’ve pretty
much got a solid plan minus the mesa boogie tone stack which I’ve not even
started to research yet.. Surly afterwards this is a nex project for another one
them skinny string thing player an Bandmate🤫
