Build Convert Solid State Guitar amp to tube Example Fender Sidekick 35 to 6AQ5 6G2 circuit

This is the D-Lab D-62 boutique amp creation. 6 have been made. The last 2 were scaled down for 6AQ5 output tubes. The amp started its life as a solid state Fender Sidekick 35 Reverb combo amp. I seek them out, remove the circus boards, reconfigure the amp similar to the Princeton 6G2. The cabinet is perfect for a Princeton layout. Speaker is normally a 12" Fender (good quality) Therefore you get quite a great starter cab. I do not use negative bias. There is a cathode resistor for idle current ( Bias). This video will show you the process for converting this chassis for a tube circuit. Plenty of room for the new layout. The nice thing about this design, is the 6AQ5 tubes are really cheap. They are around 5-8 dollars, compared to 6V6's which are 35 ea. Vintage Japanese amps ran this tube. Very popular in the 70's. So you can experiment with different brands without breaking the bank. Control panel is custom made from .040 aluminum, painted & vinyl decals. A very nice 8 watt class AB amp for recording or practice. The last 2 built also incorporated my ECB-AT and power supply modules which make wiring a breeze. This is the last I made and yes, it has sold. If you want to take on a build and need my boards, contact me. I can also assist with the wiring diagram.
