The amp I used on the Wild Animal CD is a tube amp that I built myself. The output is a single-ended single EL84, which means low power, even less that an old tube Fender Champ. However, don't think that low wattage means wimpy. For a taste of just how ferocious 6 watts can sound, have a listen to Swankin'. Or, on the mellow side, how about Dream Girl?
See? After hearing that lusciously ferocious yet delicate slide guitar sound--oh yeah, it does work for non-slide playing too,
!--you must have it for yourself, right? For a mere $648.72 plus actual shipping costs, I will build you this amplifier. The circuit wired into the chassis only, that is, no speaker, no cabinet. It includes tremelo and Fender-type reverb with a full-sized 3-spring reverb tank. If you have any question, please e-mail me
