Amped

Amped

So, today I was reading this book called "Amped" that my dad got me about the history of different amplifiers and I came across an interesting page that I wanted to compare with my project. 

This particular page showed the 1960 Fender Showman 6G14, an amplifier made by Fender in 1960 (obviously...). It takes a substantially bigger in size than my design and the interior parts physically seem far more complicated than what Raphaël was showing me. It has requires the same wattage as the bassman 100 design that I am basing my amp off of (100 watts) and it has four tubes. 

I went onto google and searched up the schematic for this amp, I found this.

It has four tubes like mine (although I'm getting rid of two of them because they're arbitrary, according to Raphaël) and much of it looks similar. My basic observation of it is that it isn't more complicated than my own, it's simply cruder and so it looks more complicated because it's a pioneer amp in the industry according to the book. Like mine, it doesn't have a bass section. The book claims that this amp was built specifically for "loud" so I'm guessing that's why the chassis is far bigger than my own.

Update about my project 

I'm really getting irritated because parts are taking forever to arrive and I really don't have as much time as I would like left... Basically a month to complete the entire project! Obviously I want to meet my specifications and be enthusiastic about the state of my project by the deadline, but we'll see.
