70 Watt Guitar Amplifier Using 2N30055/MJ2955 Transistor

The Guitar power amplifier circuit of this design adopts the still new but already successful 45 Watt Class B Amplifier Simplicity and ease of construction of this amplifier, combined with the complete absence of manual settings make it ideal for Guitar or Bass amplifier.
70 Watt Guitar Amplifier Circuit

Preamplifier + Tone Control  For Guitar Amplifier Circui

The preamplifier features two almost identical three-transistor gain-blocks based on a complementary two-stage circuit with dynamic active load of the output transistor. A circuit topology early used in Revox tape recorders and audio preamplifiers with single rail supplies in the 18 - 24Vdc range.

In this preamp the gain blocks are powered by split supplies of ±24V with two advantages: a high output voltage of about 15V RMS allowing a very wide overload margin and the facility to easily derive the preamp power supply from the power amplifier main supply.

A three-band stacked-type tone control is implemented in the second stage but, unlike the more common passive controls, active controls are used here, allowing better signal to noise ratio and overload margin with no gain loss.
