Thread: Amp11 guitar combo

  1. #1

    Default Amp11 guitar combo

    Hi!
    Earlier this year I copied a tube preamp used in a Traynor amp to get it into a pedal and now I'm planning to build a light weight amplifier combo to use the pedal in front of it. I already looked around this forum to learn a bit about Class-T and the different kits you get in the shop, so now I have a "configuration" but I'd like to have some other opinions on it.

    Neodym-Speaker: Celestion G12 Century Vintage 60 W 8 Ohm

    SMPS: XP Power JPM Series 24 V (or 27 V or even higher?) 120 W (or 80 W or 160 W?)

    Amp11 (Standard 32 V)

    Maybe I forgot something crucial or someone could recommend a better setup...

    That's overkill for that speaker.

    Just get the 36V AMP11 (uses 50V caps) and power it with 32-36 volts.

    OK, thank you.
    I take the 36V version and a 32V 120W SMPS (as the efficiency is so high, I guess it's enough power).

    I think I'll come back to this thread when I've finished the amp or if I get stuck somewhere...
