Hi again guys, lot of time without doing stupid requests :P

Well, I had the opportunity to buy an Groove Tubes Gt-12ax7-r very cheap, Thinking that I could make an hybrid amp, I spent last night looking for an hybrid 12ax7 maybe with TDA2030 amplifier, or something else, and there is not too much information about something like that, nothing that I could use. Something I see was the Micro Terror, but there's no schematics.

And my last option was (with all my shame  :icon_redface:) to come here to see if you could help me with this project.

Cheers!
I'm Carlos.

I found this; http://www.amplifiercircuit.info/2014/03/high-voltage-solid-state-circuits-for.html

Well, it could be useful, but there's no documents, info or some warnings. Not the first time making amplifiers, but this will be the first time I'll work with tubes  :icon_eek:.

How about something like the old B.K. Butler MosValve mosfet amp? I've seen some schematics floating around but the values are a little hard to read.

I built this one: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=57018.0, based on a tda2050, powered by a 18V laptop power supply. It sounded great and had almost no noise. Unfortunately it died due to poor mechanical construction. I have a couple of 2050's, and I want to build it at again, maybe as a powered speaker, so I can plug in any preamp.

Try to search for tda2050, there's a lot of discussions on the forum.

BTW, my big amp (Guyatone flip 2000) is hybrid amp, but the other way round. Solid state preamp (jfet) and tube power amp.
