Introducing myself !
Posted: Mon 09/12/22 9:42 pm
Hello everyone, my name is Tim and I am new here. I graduated in 2020 with a 2 year electrical engineering technology degree, and am now and industrial electrical maintenance technician. I learned all kinds of things in school from motor control circuits to semiconductors, but not much with vacuum tubes. I was however encouraged to explore vacuum tubes by my professors, as I am a guitar player and was very interested.
I first built this tweed champ clone for a final project in a class of mine, which you can see here.
After I built this, I was just excited to build and learn even more. So the next thing I built was this single ended plexi from gapcb.
When I had ordered the single ended plexi PCB, I also ordered the superlite II pcb, which you can see here...
But I have held off on starting this one, because I was a bit intimidated. There are no "instructions" like the single ended amp, and even though I have learned so much building these two amps (as well as repairing some others for friends and such) , I still have a lot to learn.
So that brings me to making an account here! I have read many posts from this community over the past couple months, but decided to finally make an account, as I feel ready to finally start my superlite pcb project. Once I receive some of the parts in the mail, I will start a new topic in the 18 watt area to document my project, and hopefully learn some new things in the process.
