organdonor amplification Lotus Eater 18 watt custom tube guitar amp EL84/12AX7

Description

The Lotus Eater 18 is built from a 1960's Hammond organ power amp chassis completely converted into an all tube guitar amp.  This is a custom hand built circuit with master volume.  The amp's foundation is a 1960's Hammond power transformer, output transformer and choke. New power supply capacitors, resistors, and  tone circuit components built on Hammond eyelet board.
Amp produces both chime cleans and high gain distortion.  Rolling back guitar volume controls amp gain nicely and master volume allows high gain drive at a reasonable volume. The bass and treble controls are interactive and produce a wide variety of tones for both clean and over driven sounds. The amp sounds excellent as a platform for effect pedals.  New F&T filter capacitors made in Germany, Sprague orange drop and Dearborn paper n' oil coupling caps, tolerance tested carbon composition 1/2 watt resistors, metal film 1 watt 100k plate resistors for low noise, switchcraft jacks, and Alpha pots.
Cathode bias push-pull output section.   Rectifier tube 5R4, 2 x 6BQ5/EL84/7189 output tubes.  Many types of preamp tubes 12AX7 (12AU7,12AY7, (12BH7, 12AT7 phase inverter V3 socket) can be used for desired level of gain, output volume and tone.
Working and tested chassis ready to be mounted in your own head or combo cabinet.  Please allow two weeks for completion of amp.
