PunkKitty Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I bought this from ebay. It was built from a MOD102 amp kit that Amplified Parts sells. NOS tubes. It's brighter sounding than a Champ circuit. It doesn't get very loud but it's loud enough for home. And it overdrives so nicely. I think I need a better speaker for it though. These are the pics from the listing. Some of the caps were upgraded to orange drops. It also looks like the transformers were upgraded. I got it for less than the kit costs and I didn't have to build it. If anyone has a used 8 ohm 8 inch speaker they'd like to sell, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big bob Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Where is the rectifier? Oh and what type tubs? it kinda looks like a 12ax7 and an el84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkKitty Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 I can't tell you where the rectifier is. But the amp works. It is a 12ax7 and an el84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 that's really cool, Kitty! Is this new territory for you, or have you done this sort of thing before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkKitty Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 that's really cool, Kitty! Is this new territory for you, or have you done this sort of thing before? I've bought amps before. I didn't build this one. I bought it built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbp810 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Looks like a fun little amp! Some good sized iron for that size amp as well Where is the rectifier?Oh and what type tubs? it kinda looks like a 12ax7 and an el84 Hard to tell in that picture, but I'd wage there is a pair of small diodes on that terminal strip; should be in between the two red wires and positive lead to the largest filter cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkKitty Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 I just ordered a new Jensen speaker for it. I was using the speaker from a cheap Fender Frontman. That speaker just breaks up too easily. And the Jensen has good reviews so it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthpawGuy Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 The forerunner to the Vox Night Train perhaps I was wondering which amp circuit it's based on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Seacup Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Cute little amp. Reminds me of the ax84.com P1 circuit/build. I wonder if they're similar. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 LOL - I was going to bid on this (but decided not to since didn't have an 8 ohm cabinet, just 4 and 16 cabs). So I bought a Mantra Overdrive instead. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212Mavguy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 PK, I have to think you have some full size cabs hanging around to run this one through...am sure you already have and been pleasantly surprised, My little single ended amp is way louder than it needs for gigging by itself unmiced through an efficient 2/12 or 1/15. The big iron in your amp is a departure from mediocrity, as is the nice, moddable and repairable build. Ain't no store bought tone here... nice ah, grab!
