@markyellowseries3 yeah, that's worth the trouble of measuring and recording. A lot of thins can be seen on the scope if you relate the image to the sound.
@iliecostin it's hard to tell. My guess is that it will stand the heat in the beginning but after a while you'll start to have problems. Perhaps using solder with a higher melting point (for example, one without Pb) could help overcome this problem.
@iliecostin You need tube sockets. Tubes are an old technology and need to be replaced regularly, they're not like modern semiconductors, they're more like lightbulbs. can you imagine having to resolder a lightbulb every time it blew and needed replacing.
Even for a 5-watt amp, that is literally hundreds of volts scattered across your workbench! Kids, don't try this at home. Great job, maybe all amp videos should have an oscilloscope going for the visual effect!
id be pretty scared around that rig, thats prob 500volts if you accidentaly touch it

interesting to see the harmonics as the notes are played louder

do you think i can solder the pins of the tubes to the pcb? Or will the heat melt the solder points? (i cant find tube sockets in my country)

as long as you don't touch the high voltage cables it's definately not critical :D
And when he is able to use an oscilloscope, he will know that :D

lol isn't it just a little dangerous to have all that high voltage circuitry sprawled out over the table like that? Cool vid though!

Amazing it didn't oscillate like crazy. I've built them in a chassis and they weren't as quiet as that! Good job!!

good home work ....more better!!!! when do you build in your name fabrik amps ????

How do you prevent this from oscillating with wires THAT long??
Your tubes must be VERY weared if this dont oscillate :)

Those tubes are new and I also wonder why I didn't get any oscillations, weird but it works.
