    Default FS - Class A EL84 single ended power amp.

    This isn't part of the Firebottle range so I'm putting it here to sell.

    Sometimes known as the FB27 (27 - Oliver's favourite item off the Chinese menu) it sports long plate ECC83's as driver valves and parallel EL84's per channel output valves.
    Built in volume control, single input, 5W per channel output. £220


    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Bump. Forgot to mention has 4 and 8 ohm tappings.
    If you have reasonably efficient speakers and want to try the Class A sound then EL84 is the way to go. I have yet to see a derogatory comment about single ended EL84 amps.

    Hi Alan,

    I'm very interested in the amp, is there space to add another set of inputs and a toggle switch to the front?

    I'm asking as I think it may work really well with my speakers but need two inputs.

    ah yes this amp. didnt realise it was still available. thought it would have sold. It would work great with my speakers. If you need more connections you could add a beresford switchbox. They are great

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    Yes there is space, if you're serious about purchase I could fit another pair of inputs and a switch.

    I am Alan but couldn't do anything until payday on the 30th of this month. Would it need to be collected or is postage an option?
