6SQ7 EL34 Tube Audio Amplifier: Output Tube Voltage Test



Published
Warning: Voltage testing a tube amp is dangerous. IF YOU ARE NOT 100% COMFORTABLE AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY RISKS INVOLVED, DO NOT DO THIS!!!

In this video we power up the amp and check the internal voltages. I cover a few safety tips, you can see more here and there is MUCH more than is listed here on the subject.

Here is a link to the tube bias calculator I like:

and here is a basic Ohms Law calculator:

This is a replicate of my personal favorite, a 6SQ7-EL34 amp with modifications to make it more "public friendly". This series will document the build in detail, explain all the design considerations, dig into tube data sheets and other criteria that makes this little amp sound so amazing!

I'll get the schematics and BOM up on the website this week as I start on the actual build series.
