Think amps with vacuum tubes are cool, but you're not sure how to start building your own? Sign up for this class (held in Atlanta or Online) and you'll build your own Ampeg B15 Tube Preamp or Fender Tweed (5E3) Preamp with my help. This class is aimed at those who do not have electronics experience, but would like to start building tube preamps and amplifiers for guitar. You can purchase a package with the tools you'll need to start your amp building journey, or you can build with the tools I provide at the face to face class.
I'll explain:
- How each component works in the circuit
- How to choose the right components for your preamp or amp build
- Good Soldering Technique
- Troubleshooting techniques
- How to work safely with high voltage
Preamp Features:
- Hand wired circuit inspired by the B15 or Fender 5E3
- One 1/4" input
- Transformer driven XLR out
- Unbalanced out via 1/4" jack
- Bass, Treble and Volume controls for the B15
- Volume and Tone controls for the Fender Tweed Preamp
Tools provided with package
- Temperature Controlled Soldering Station
- Digital Multimeter
- Wire cutters and Wire strippers
- Solder
- Solder Sucker
- Needle nose Pliers
Tube Preamp Build class (In Atlanta or Online)
Once you order a class I will send a link to schedule two 4 hour blocks of time spread out over two days to complete the class. If you are attending a face to face class I will send you the physical location of the class held in Atlanta, no more than 24 hours after your purchase. Online class attendees will receive a link to a web conference room no more than 24 hours after your class purchase.
If you are unable to complete your build within the two day build class, I will schedule more time with you to work on the preamp until it is finished.
