18 Watt

Another banger from the archives of Run Off Groove.

Here we have an emulation of the tones of mid-late 60's Marshall EL84-based 18 watt practice amps.

Not much more to say, other than it does the job nicely.

There's some fine bias tweaking to be done, so a multimeter is essential for this build.

Supplied with board-mounted pots with round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs).

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.
