Nate's Homebrew Projects Page

This is the show and tell department. If you have pictures and descriptions of your own projects, send 'em to me, or cobble together a mini page, and I'll put a link to it. I'd like for folks to be able to come here and look and see how other folks did their own amps.

I'm trying to keep this page for stuff that's built from scratch. By built from scratch, I don't necessarily mean transformers and chassis, though there are folks who do build their own. This isn't to slight modifications or rebuilds - they go in the Homebrew Tube Amp Corner. But I did want to reserve a special place to help those who want to build from scratch.

This is my workbench (most of it - I shoved everything over and out of the picture. It really doesn't stay quite this clean.) The amp on the left is a 15 watt amp dubbed the "Fat Lady" It's somewhat loosely based on the 20 watt Marshalls of yore, but it's only loosely based on my original design at this point.

Little Girl lives! Little Girl is the name of the amp on the right. It's a 5 watt lunchbox that looks as if it it'll be a zero frills experiment. A closeup should be appearing here sometime soon.

The Fat Lady
This is a 15 watt amp which was originally modeled after the Marshall 20 watt amps. At least to the point of having a pair of EL-84's and some knobs. Here you can find some pictures, a schematic, and lots of verbiage.

Little Girl
Little Girl is a 5 watt amp that packs a startling punch for it's size. The basic concept was to see how small a package I could squeeze a vacuum tube guitar amplifier into.
