Here's a nice build of the www.AX84.com High Octane 5 watt guitar amplifier project. The Hi-Octane is a great rock and roll amp in a small package. It is similar to the AX84 P1 project but with an extra preamplifier section for more distortion. The amp features a high gain 12ax7 preamplifier section, a Class A power output section using a 6BQ5/EL84/SV83 tube in a single ended configuration, and a cathode-follower driven bass, mid and treble tone controls. This particular build uses a Groove Tube EL84S power tube and a Celestion 12L-35 speaker.
