Cheap donor amp for 18watt build
Posted: Tue 03/25/25 9:52 pm
I have a populated 18watt board and all the hardware for a build minus the chassis and transformers. To buy a chassis and transformers I'd be out at least $300. I figured there might be a used tube amp I could snag for around that and get at least a head cabinet out of the deal. Any old Bugeras or VHTs that would work?
I understand that the quality of the transformers wouldn't be amazing but the reason I have the 18 watt board is because the 18 watt I built wasn't for me (I reworked the build as an AC15).
It seems a shame to just leave all the parts in a bin when having another amp around would be much better.
