Marwatt, anyone?

Just doing some amp surfing and wondered if anyone's built the Marwatt 18-watt Hiwatt build on this site?
Thanks for the recommendation. That looks like an up-to-50W build with those KT66. I was able to find a file dump site with a "V.1" schematic as well as a "V.5" chassis drill guide. Any knowledge of whether a V5 schematic is out there? Thanks, Phil.zaphod_phil wrote: ↑Wed 09/08/21 11:17 amYes, but not in a long time, unfortunately.
For a less eardrum-bursting Hiwatt style amp build ,I would suggest Trinity'sTriwatt. Just note that the Triwatt has a completely Hiwatt DR type vibe, not Marshall 18W.
I see that's another one of your designs.zaphod_phil wrote: ↑Thu 09/09/21 5:45 pmFun indeed, but not recommended for novice builders!
I always go to Trinity's site for the latest docs - http://www.trinityamps.com/docs/TriwattSchematic.pdf
That's awesome! And it kinda makes sense. Some cloth wire needs the edges burnt to not fray.TriodeLuvr wrote: ↑Thu 09/09/21 7:44 pmHey Josh, off topic but I'm building an amp using a very old power transformer with cloth leads. I've just discovered my thermal stripper can burn through the cloth and the inner PVC simultaneously. No more struggling to get a clean strip on cloth wire!
