Circuit description:
This design adopts a well established circuit topology for the power amplifier, using a
single-rail supply of about 60V and capacitor-coupling for the speaker(s). The advantages
for a guitar amplifier are the very simple circuitry, even for comparatively high power
outputs, and a certain built-in degree of loudspeaker protection, due to capacitor C8,
preventing the voltage supply to be conveyed into loudspeakers in case of output
transistors' failure.
The preamp is powered by the same 60V rails as the power amplifier, allowing to
implement a two-transistors gain-block capable of delivering about 20V RMS output. This
provides a very high input overload capability.
Technical data:
Sensitivity:
70mV input for 40W 8 Ohm output
63mV input for 60W 4 Ohm output
Frequency response:
50Hz to 20KHz -0.5dB; -1.5dB @ 40Hz; -3.5dB @ 30Hz
Total harmonic distortion @ 1KHz and 8 Ohm load:
Below 0.1% up to 10W; 0.2% @ 30W
Total harmonic distortion @ 10KHz and 8 Ohm load:
Below 0.15% up to 10W; 0.3% @ 30W
Total harmonic distortion @ 1KHz and 4 Ohm load:
Below 0.18% up to 10W; 0.4% @ 60W
Total harmonic distortion @ 10KHz and 4 Ohm load:
Below 0.3% up to 10W; 0.6% @ 60W
Bass control:
Fully clockwise = +13.7dB @ 100Hz; -23dB @ 10KHz
Center position = -4.5dB @ 100Hz
Fully counterclockwise = -12.5dB @ 100Hz; +0.7dB @ 1KHz and 10KHz
Low-cut switch:
-1.5dB @ 300Hz; -2.5dB @ 200Hz; -4.4dB @ 100Hz; -10dB @ 50Hz
Notes:
The value listed for C8 is the minimum suggested value. A 3300F capacitor or two
2200F capacitors wired in parallel would be a better choice.
The Darlington transistor types listed could be too oversized for such a design. You can

substitute them with MJ11014 (Q3) and MJ11013 (Q4) or TIP142 (Q3) and TIP147
(Q4).
T1 transformer can be also a 24 + 24V or 25 + 25V type (i.e. 48V or 50V center
tapped). Obviously, the center-tap must be left unconnected.
SW1 switch inserts the Low-cut feature when open.
In all cases where Darlington transistors are used as the output devices it is essential
that the sensing transistor (Q2) should be in as close thermal contact with the output
transistors as possible. Therefore a TO126-case transistor type was chosen for easy
bolting on the heatsink, very close to the output pair.
R9 must be trimmed in order to measure about half the voltage supply from the positive
lead of C7 and ground. A better setting can be done using an oscilloscope, in order to
obtain a symmetrical clipping of the output waveform at maximum output power.
To set quiescent current, remove temporarily the Fuse F1 and insert the probes of an
Avo-meter in the two leads of the fuse holder.
Set the volume control to the minimum and Trimmer R3 to its minimum resistance.
Power-on the circuit and adjust R3 to read a current drawing of about 30 to 35mA.
Wait about 15 minutes, watch if the current is varying and readjust if necessary.
