Meet MILA-1. The name is an acronym for "Mic/Instrument-Line Amplifier."
I built this a while back but between illness and work, I haven't had a chance to run bench tests and upload pics until now.
The design arose out of the experiments described at length in the "Small Line Amp" thread. With the cleaner layout of this prototype (compared to the breadboard) I was able to use 12AV7 successfully in both positions instead of having to resort to the more expensive and heater power-hungry 12BH7 for the output tube. The maximum output level is only marginally lower with the 12AV7.
Bench test results and many more pics can be seen in this album:
MILA-1
I'll see about recording some sound clips... when I get my voice back, that is.
