RedHead 6112 6021 miniature guitar amplifierREDHEAD
My first project in this series got named RedHead.
Inspired by the NanoHead I decided to build something similar.
It has a 6112 double triode as a preamptube in two gain stages, and then a 6021 as output tube in push-pull.
It's powered with an external 12VDC adapter, which is internally converted to 165VDC.
It has no semiconductors in the signal path.
I should add that it is not a clone of the NanoHead.

Sound1: Vol40% SC strat       Sound2: Vol70% SC strat       Sound3: Vol100% HB strat    
Sound4: Vol 100% HB LesPaul through a 6" cab

My second project got named YellowHead.
The same as the red one in the preamp but it works with a 6111 as output tube.
Sound1: Vol100% HB strat                Sound2: Vol70% SC strat
OrangeHead  6112 6021 miniature guitar amplifierORANGEHEAD
OrangeHead is a single ended version. It has a 6112 in two gain stages and a 6021 as an output tube.

The BlueHead is also a single ended version. It also has a 6112 in the preamp, though a bit different circuit vise than the others. It's still being optimized.

Tremler 6021 tube tremolo
TREMLER
Tremler is a Tremolo/Boost pedal. Equipped with two 6021:s
The circuit is based on  Fenders Vibro-Champ. For the time being it's running at 2.5-6Hz in the tremolo.
Sound1: First in bypass then in Boost.                          Sound2: max depth and speed.
Sound3: max depth and min speed.                               Sound4: middle pos on the knobs.
BIG-M ECC-81, ECC-82, 2 X ECC83 single EL84BIG-M
BIG-M is a two channel S-E combo. The clean channel houses a ECC-81 and a ECC82 tube. The dirt channel holds two ECC83:s. Those are running to a single EL84.

Soundclip1 is recorded with a strat with SC, micked against the cone.I've added a bit of software reverb.

Soundclip2 is recorded with a LP in both channels. Micked against the cone and a roommick. 
LadyEvil 2 X 12AX7 tube preamp pedalLADY EVIL
Lady Evil is an overdrivepedal equipped with two 12AX7:s. 
The circuit was from the beginning based on Mesa Boogies V1 Bottle Rocket, but has been rebuilt for a more tight bottom and focused sound.
It's powered with an external 12VDC adapter, which is internally converted to 250VDC.
