RE: Advice on getting a 45 built


If you are having this built on spec, you will get what you asked for. It may or may-not sound good. It seems to me that you need to audition some amp designs and then decide which is for you and then have it built. The volume pot and selector switches are just add-ons and no real problem for a builder.

In my experience, the output xfmr and gain/driver tubes are the most important considerations to the design. Nickel core outputs are the best IMO. Early radio tubes, 37, 76, 6C5, 6C6, 6F8 ... are my favorites for gain/driver, 6SN7 and 6SL7 are also good.

Consider contacting Dave Slagle for nickel outputs. He is a member here, and he is also a friend ( to be upfront about it ) and an avid builder.
