Sonic MA-1 Tube Amp!

I built this amp and cabinet. It is a 1x10 cabinet with a Jensen Mod speaker. The amp is the first project in the book 'Building Vacuum Tube Guitar and Bass Amplifiers' by Tino Zottola. Here is a link to the book:

It uses a 12ax7 preamp tube and a NOS 50L6 power tube with the heaters run in series using an isolation transformer. It's about 2-3 watts.

Sorry if the sound quality isn't triumphant.
