• WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
    Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
    performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
    the safety precautions around high voltages.

The RedRoo SE tube amp now has a chassis kit. Quite a few have been built here in Oz, but the chassis has always been a problem. This one uses extra thick FR4 panels which are silk screened and precision drilled by the PC Board manufacturer. It's a great way to make a good looking chassis at reasonably low cost 🙂

Just an update for those who are interested ....... I've updated the RedRoo DIY information to specify the 12AT7EH tube from Electro-harmonix. The reason for this is that the EH version has a heater-cathode voltage specification of 200V which is better for the cathode follower stage. Other manufacturers mostly specify 90V h/k.

Not sure if there is any real difference between the manufacturers, or if its just the way they specify it. I have seen various thoughts about this, but best to be sure.

(Increasing R11 to reduce the B+ voltage on V1 to about 200V would achieve the same thing)

Interested in your thoughts about this...
