Electrodrone ZB50 Amplifier
| July 28th, 2012Our friend Scott Hodgson (Electrodrone) designed and built this very nice 50 watt high-gain amp for us in 2006.
He named it after this freaky 80s Honda motorcycle:
Tube complement
2x KT77 outputs/12AX7 preamp/12AU7 phase splitter
Features of note
Matching 2×12 cabinet with old Altec 4178H alnico speakers
Half volume switch (built-in attenuator)
switchable midrange cut
Construction
Here’s the chassis during its final stages of testing:
Scott’s father is an ace carpenter so we hired him to build the head and speaker cabinet enclosures. He used baltic birch.The finger joints fits together perfectly.
