D-Lab Trio low power tube practice guitar amps Fender Vox Super Raven Class A + tremolo build kits!

New from D-lab. A Trio of classic tube amplifiers. Going back to my early days of boutique amp builds. Many players now desire low power, quiet amps for apartment playing or studio recording. They seek the vintage sound but do not want to spend the big bucks that amps today demand. This Trio line gives you just that. All are based on vintage designs. I supply them as chassis amps, meaning no cabinets. You could however design your own and slide them in for the final look you desire. I sell these complete or will provide you the boards & instructions to make your own. Build details/schematics/line diagrams are on my Patreon page. / dlab_electronics . I have many amps listed on Reverb.com. Check them out. If you are interested in building or buying, feel free to contact me. D-lab is 100% of my time. No more Corp America. Just repairing amps/Ham radios/designing & building tube amps! Fun stuff! BTW: All components for this build except for my boards are available at www.amplifiedp... The control panels are custom made. Due to time constraints, I cannot offer them for sale. Please spread the good word. Subscribe. Have to keep the lights on! Appreciate the support.

Terry, I really admire your 'modular' approach to building amps. I see SO much 're-inventing the wheel' on here (TH-cam). This is refreshing!

[@d-labelectronics]

Thank you Sir, It is my goal

[@chipcrooks557]

I like the middle one the vox one I think you get a little more clarity out of it

[@garyp5522]

For some reason I like the AC4. Amp in the center. I like clean.

[@tombaffa9374]

Wow, now I’m thinking the AC 4

[@camilo1455]

I liked it, too. Sure is bright.

[@orionwarren4244]

Love the chimey ac vox!

[@sski]

Outstanding to see you've gotten everything to the point of modularity that you can produce these different flavors of amps without much fuss. Way to go, Terry! They sound fantastic!

[@d-labelectronics]

Thank you Sir. Its been a fun project. I plan to make more as soon as some of these sell

[@tombaffa9374]

Really like the Super Raven

[@danrussell9357]

I always enjoy when I can hear a guitar demo at the end of the amp project. These look and sound great!

[@chipcrooks557]

You can’t make a dirty amp sound clean, but you can make a clean amp sound dirty. I think many guys are looking for a small bedroom friendly set up that can take you to the verge of break up . Pedals can take it from there.

[@d-labelectronics]

I agree. These amps are under 4 watts

[@brentnearhood8874]

Thanks! Terry 🔉🎸

[@philmckrackensr2159]

Love that classic tone. I’ve got two of these going into an earthquaker devices swiss things splitter and into two 12” cabs for stereo. The splitter has a phase inverter which is nice. Sounds really good and it’ll get loud I have to keep the vol at about 4. Thanks Terry your amps are awesome!

[@cubistone]

Vibro champ is the best low power amp.

[@anvil777]

Terry’s they all sound amazing! I like the Fender a lot and I think Super Raven is it for me

[@stevem.1853]

I heard a Champion 600 with the 6sj7 pentode and it sounded great overdriven. Exactly what Leo was trying to eliminate but great just the same. The Super Raven has got "it". Great job Terry! 👍

[@edwardhannigan6324]

Hey Terry, cool set of amps..Just what is needed nowadays..Great ideas, and good luck with it all..I'm watching..Ed..uk..😃

[@mford1957]

Your amp designs always sound great.

[@zbaby82]

Very nice Terry. I believe I like the GT the best.

[@doobymaster6997]

Sounding good Terry. Tremolo sounds great. Can you remind me if you’ve done a boutique style amp with both tremolo/vibrato AND (spring) reverb? That’s what I want to try…..

[@doobymaster6997]

Here’s what I recently did with an old “Traynor” 4 channel YVM-3 light weight transistor PA amp head. I couldn’t stand the push/pull 2N3055 transistor output stage, so stripped it and the power transformer out and added transformer/components for a push/pull tube output stage with a couple of 6V6’s after the preamp. This YVM has 4 channel selectable spring reverb in the pre-amp, but no tremolo. With guitar, I like the tube output tone much better now and will consider adding a tremolo circuit as well. This outputs to two Traynor 10” column speaker sets. But still looking for a small combo with all-in, smaller than a Vibroverb.

[@tombaffa9374]

Sounds great

[@tomp538]

Nice!

[@stevenschenkel9860]

I am getting ready to build an AC4x. I have all the parts.

[@tubeDude48]

The fellow playing, and the young guy that has played in the past are very good. Others, not so much. They just make noise.

[@tombaffa9374]

I guess you had the transformers on hand (or from Hammond?)

[@mford1957]

What kind of speaker in the cabinet?

[@dwightbehm2886]

Whats the point in using a 6f6 instead of a 6v6. 10 watts plate dissipation verses 12?

[@d-labelectronics]

The original Raven used the 6F6. High voltage is 250VDC, so not close to the max rating. You can use a 6V6 but it wont gain you anything except for higher cost

[@dwightbehm2886]

That makes sence terry. Dwight.

[@paulrobertson3326]

I looked Mom Reverb, but didn't see any. Am I searching the wrong thing?

[@d-labelectronics]
