    High-Octane

    Overview

    The High-Octane takes the basic tube power amp of the P1 and adds a hi-gain preamp that rocks!

    Features

  • Hi-Gain 12ax7 Preamp
  • 6BQ5/EL84/SV83 Power Tube in Class-A Single Ended Configuration provides 5-7 watts of output power.
  • Cathode-follower driven Bass, Mid and Treble tone controls allow you to shape your sound. Alter the values of the components in the tone stack to tailor your sound.
  • This preamp works great with a variety of poweramps!

    Project Coordinator: Chris Hurley --- Skill Level: intermediate --- Status: Ready to Build.
