IT'S DONE!!!! How to build a 1 watt guitar tube amp. PART 3 explains building the cabinet, installing the tweed, finishing touches, final schematic, layout and playing it some more!
Scratch building a guitar tube amplifier using one 12AX7 (12AT7 or 12AY7) preamp tube and one 12BH7 as the power tube. This will roughly produce 1 watt of output. Don't kid yourself, that still enough power to annoy anyone your house! This amp should be perfect for practicing and possibly recording.
This is somewhat of a budget build mostly using off the shelf parts. (No boutique parts or components will be used)
I'm calling it "Princeton One"

I stumbled onto your Princeton one videos and went to town. Thanks for all your efforts. I have followed your layout pretty much as presented. I cheated with a Hammond box, though. Still waiting on a few items (tubes) and hope to fire it up soon. I built a current limiter while I was at it too. Handy item. Your vids are well done and I am really enjoying this project . I'll post a few pics when completed,and thanks again
