TT Surfmate
The TT Surfmate is the consequent further development of the TT Tube Reverb pushing it closer in the direction of its big brother, the Fender Reverb Unit 6G15, with all its advantages compared to the small tube reverb:
And still: Sounds like the original!
The use of a pcb allows a fault-tolerant implementation of the circuit. The chassis specially adapted for this project offers cost-effective implementation without the need for metal processing. Nevertheless, only high-quality components are used, as you can see on the project pictures, for easy building and much “surf sound” afterwards.

Care is necessary during construction! The voltages used in this amp are potentially fatal. This amp is NOT a beginner's project!
A successful build requires that you can read (and understand!) a schematic diagram, you know how to use various measuring devices, and you have some experience working with voltages over 60V.
