Minnow Tube Amp

Working on the Minnow prototype

The Minnow is based on the 5F1 Champ of the late 50's & early 60's. The circuit is enhanced with slightly more gain, better power supply filtering, an oversized output transformer, and a Master Volume control.
Hand wired turret board construction.
Powered by a single 6V6 with a 5AR4 rectifier and 12AX7 preamp tube.
A simple circuit with no EQ that puts the tone in your hands. Much larger output transformer than a stock 5F1 for improved tone & efficiency.
8 ohm output transformer that will handle any cab from 4 to 16 ohms.
Available as a head only. Everyone knows a quality built cab with the right speakers has a great impact on the overall tone of an amp rig; 1x12, 2x12, 4x12, 1x10, 2x10, 4x10 will all work with the Minnow. Run the cab you prefer, or call us for a matching, finger-jointed, solid pine cab.
Costs about as much as your last two pedals.
