Hi,
I'm about to work on building my own guitar amp, with the help of a friend who has good electronics experience.
This is more of a fun project so money spent is not wasted in my view.. more for a learning experience.
One issue we are having though is locating the right transformers. We are trying to copy an orange amp design (80 watt.. 4 el84s valves and 2 12ax7's)
I was wondering if I could get any advice on this as well, anything to watch out for. Im not too bothered if at first it all goes bang, but of course I would like to have a workable end result that I can just tweak to get perfect.
but these damb transformers are giving us a headache as we are not sure what to get.
ps. the schematics of the design can be found here:
