TT PI18 - An All-Tube 18 Watt Guitar Amp Kit, based on the Pink Taco.
Version 2020, Turretboard Version 2020, with the following additions and extensions compared to the previous version:
- The kit contains components for two different tone controls: Tight (British Voicing) and FAT (Original Voicing).
- Optimizations in the area of master potentiometers and the circuit design of the first gain stage
- Optimizations of the boost function
- Noise-Reduction for Higain & Hum Suppression
- Easier to build then the previos kit

To build this project knowledge in electric engeneering, experience with high voltage, and the reading and understanding of schematics and dealing with measurement device is highly recommended .
There is NO step-by-step guide for beginners. The circuit and layout plan includes all relevant information. If you don't understand it then don't build it.
THIS IS NOT A BEGINNERS PROJECT !

No regrets. It is so great to have all the components you need without the need to order a million things. All are labeled clearly and this was the easiest build so far I've done. Not due to difficulty but because of the clear instructions and having everything you need in one package. Built it over a weekend.
I did the "modern / tight" build. Info is in the schematics and all parts are provided. The amp itself is not a heavy metal machine as expected. Even with the boost engaged, more like Iron maiden heavy. Amp itself is really quiet even with max gain. It requires a separate boost pedal to get to modern metal. As it is, it is great for rock and older stuff. I am thinking about adding depth and presence pots, but don't really know if those are needed.
I did one mod. I added two germanium diodes in series from master volume pot leg 3 (p5/3) to ground. It clips slightly and gives a slightly more modern tone with small extra gain. Nothing major but I liked it better.
