Valve Factory 18 - stew mac
Anybody have any input on the Valve Factory 18 watt from stew mac? I did a quick search and did not see anything.
Also, just a reminder I am new to the whole amp building and know nothing. Thanks.

Re: Valve Factory 18 - stew mac
It looks cute. I'd choose that over a mojotone kit, but I'd try to get it without the garbage JJ tubes.
No idea on the quality of the transformers. I like that they chose MF resistors over CC; hopefully they're good quality MF.
I would take a deeper dive into the schematic if I was going to consider paying money for it.
