6J1 Tube Preamp Amplifier Unboxing

6J1 Tube Preamp Amplifier unboxing and a look at the componets in the kit.

This kit will be the basis of a few upcoming videos where we will take this simple kit and turn it into a complete amplifier including a vintage tone stack from scavenged parts.

After alterations to the circut we will tuck it all into a nice little cigar box head unit and build a speaker cabinet for it to drive.

Below is the description given on the listing for this particular kit;

Description:

A valve amplifier or tube amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that uses vacuum tubes to increase the amplitude or power of a signal. Connect this 6J1 tube pre-amplifier between sound source and and it can effectively filter digital flavor. Tube amplifier produces a warmer or more natural valve sound, make music and human voice is relatively good.

There is a slight difference between a 6 l 6 and a 6 j1😵
