18 watt Power Amplifier

Post by Dsky »

I would like to build an 18w power amplifier, basically a power amp without a pre-amp.
No tone stack or volume tone adjustment, just a input jack to the front side of the power amp.
I have several Pre Amps; Home built JCM 800, Tone King Imperial and Friedman IRX.
I'd like to have a power amp so I can interchange my preamps via switcher.
Basically, the power amp section of an 18watt amp.

I guess I could use the complete schematic and only replicate the power section, but I was hoping I might find just a power amp scheme. Can anyone help?

TIA

You can copy the power amp from any of the amp builds in the Downloads section. I suggest using something from the Modern Classic series.

Thanks,

Thanks, I didn't notice the download section when I first got here.

Much appreciated ~
