Tube Amps for Multisim ?

Why would you need a simulator?, valve amps are crude and simple - just checkout the many examples on the Internet.

I would suggest you start off with an output transformer, that's probably the most crucial (and expensive) part.

Why build a valve amp anyway?, or do you mean a valve guitar amp?.
 
Simulating something like that is an insult to a tube! You gotta try! Every tube has it's own personality, and you might tick one off. Then it gets really nasty.
 
lol

Yeah a "lamp amp" for guitar. Well I was thinking of having a reference in multisim instead of only PDF schematics..

I currently have a transistor guitar amp.. the signal is like linear and a real tube amp the Sin is beautifully real... I'm really looking foward to trying that 'feel' . My friend and I are gonna try to build one this semester as a side project during a practice course.

We won't replicate a 65' Twin Reverb but we might come up with something cool even if it sounds dirty (i'll make a video playing a little tune on it when it's done but it might take a couple of months).

You guys ever build one?

I knew it! Tubes have feelings too. I once saw a 6L6 cry and many times I saw tube plates turn red with what I think was embarrasment.

And little red tear drops dripping down inside the valve, shortly before the glass melts and air is sucked in
 
It's hot enough you might even get some flames when the air rushes in you might even get some anger as the air rushes in and the plate combusts =)
 
Also, don't forget when we ran a pair of metal 6L6s inverted in a pan of water for cooling...
