My First Amp Build

Well, I'm beginning construction on my new amp and I decided that I'll document it for whoever is interested. Here is the first picture of a bunch of parts and some components wired up. I'm hoping I can make it sound pretty nice. If that works, maybe I'll custom make amps for anyone that wants one.

This is going to be a Class A SE amplifier with 12ax7s in the front and an EL34 (or 6L6) for power. Most likely putting out about 10 watts. A good little recording amp that you can turn up without blowing out your ears.

First off.... The box is now folded up and tacked together and some circuit stuff is developing. I don't know what I'll call it Kyle.... I was thinking Ayem Amps, as in my initials.
