Texas Tube Amps, Spitfire clone

Texas Tube amps take on the Matchless Spitfire.

Asking 500$ + shipping from Grande Prairie Alberta with Can Post.

(hit me up with offers or trades, but I'm mostly trying to gather funds for a pedal steel guitar)


Nick-named the 'Plain Jane' it definitely adhere's to that aesthetic:

Super clean layout, short signal path and no silkscreening on the front.

Hot fixed-bias 2-el84 design, tube rectified (GZ34),

Volume/Tone/Master, hi/low inputs.

The amp will be shipped in the black tolex headshell.

Wow.... The inside of that amp is so clean and "simple" looking (relative to other amps).

What is the output in watts?

What is the output impedance for the speaker?

Is the OT tapped for other output impedances?

Thanks

Dave

Hey Greco,

it's rated at 15-18 watts but the el84's are in push-pull configuration, so it'll push slightly more than that.

I fired off an email to the builder earlier to get the straight goods on the OT and impedence. I've been showing it 8ohms.

I hope to have a firm answer soon. I'll pass the builder's email along to whomever buys the amp.

The amp was built by Texas Tube Amps company as a custom build for the original owner -who then sold it to me.

Not a kit, it's fully functional -just a very bare bones look.

Here is a shot of the amp in the head cab. It is a very tight fit but the amp was never fully mounted. I left it as is because I bought it with the intention of only using it at home, I can secure it with fender style machine screws and nuts if the purchaser wants.

Without the face plate you now have the option of using a hardwood front ala' Dr.Z, or tolex a small piece of plywood. If it will make or break the deal I have some new brown cowboy tooled tolex that would make a cool looking front panel ala' Badcat/machless.

In light of this I've decided to drop the asking price to 500$ +shipping.

Better pics to follow after my camera recharges.

I'd buy the head cab, if it's available on it's own...
