CUSTOM 50 Tube Amplifier

INTRODUCTION

This amp head is made by taking inspiration from vintage hand-crafted amplifiers made
by Dave Reeves. A look inside the amplifier will immediately bring your attention to
the hand-wired assembly & point-to-point wiring philosophy used. Needless to say this
gives unmatched robustness to the amplifier. The Power transformer used in the
amplifier is unconventional to the Guitar amps, as it is a Toroidal transformer custom
made by one of the best transformer manufacturers in India. These transformers are
common in HiFi as they are inherently noiseless & there is no leakage field outside. The
components are carefully chosen and hand selected with 2-3 time overrating to further
enhance the robustness. The chassis is made out of Aluminium sheet to ensure rust-free
life and excellent shield to noise due to external electromagnetic interference. The entire
amplifier is made with ultimate care and by a single person and we trust it will give you
ultimate sonic pleasure and glitch-less operation for many decades.

You are requested to go through this document well to ensure you adhere to safety
instructions and maintenance of the amplifier.
