The Nickel Box is single-ended amplifier that puts out 5W from either an EL84 or 6V6. It features our unique preamp design that utilizes an EF86 pentode fronted by a 12AX7 twin-triode. This particular unit also comes with the GZ34 rectifier option.
The low wattage makes it a great practice or recording amp. There is a convenient line-out jack on the bottom of the chassis for plugging into a console. The speaker can safely be unplugged for late-night recording sessions. We've also added two new features to an already outstanding amp: a headphone jack and build-in attenuator that drops output to 1/8W.
The clean tones are sparkly and complex with a good amount of level. When pushed, or when the boost switch is flipped, the overdrive can be thick and creamy or bright and edgy. But it's voiced to overdrive without getting muddy. This filtering is aided by a simplified version of our modified "James" style tone stack which allows the player to tailor a wide range of bass and treble frequencies around mids.
The Nickel Box is also a very quiet amp. Preamp grid wires are shielded to extraneous noise. We use a "galactic" star grounding scheme to keep hum and noise from entering the signal path. We also use a DC elevated heater supply to eliminate filament hum.

It shimmers, it shines, it grunts and it growls. The de Lisle 35P was designed to cover a broad tonal range and cover it well. (Check out the Review tab.)
The 35P pumps out 35 watts of power in push-pull mode. Output can also be dropped down to 12 watts in the harmonically rich single-ended mode. The preamp features our signature arrangement, an EF86 fronted by a 12AX7. Modified James-style tone controls allow the player to tailor bass and treble frequencies. This tone stack offers greater frequency manipulation than some other designs. Choose the Expanded Control Panel option (included) for even more variety. This option includes a Master Volume in addition to individual gain stage controls. The tone stack is expanded to include Contour. A switched Negative Feedback circuit is added as well as Pentode-Triode switching for the the EF86.
Output is powered by a pair of 6L6-GC tubes, which is preceded by a 12DW7 phase inverter. Cathode biasing in the power stage ensures user-friendly operation.
An American made 12" Eminence Wizard speaker is mounted to a birch ply baffle and housed in a large, solid pine cabinet. The pine planks are secured with dovetail joinery and finished off with a TV front.
The 35P is hand-built right here in our workshop using high quality components from numerous American manufacturers. It's a versatile, professional piece of gear offered at a price that many players can afford.
| Tube Reverb / Presence | $200.00 (Included) |
| Expanded Control Panel * | $100.00 (Included) |
