Great amp-building video from Tube Depot! If this is too much work, I'll build your kit for you. Priced according to difficulty. Article: Tube Kits for Guitar Amps Copyright webmaster@TubeModules.com 2010 Here are a few things I've found while looking around. By no means is this list complete. Making a guitar amp from a kit is pretty involved. I would start first by assembling a stompbox or pedal kit. If it works and stays working then MAYBE you are ready. But a whole amp is a complex job. You might first try a single-ended amp, as they are MUCH easier to make. Antique Electronics has the MOD 101 kit. Interesting head-only configuration but boasts "32 variations" of building to achieve the sound you want. Comes with 6L6 and EL34's. Weber Amp Kits has a mind-boggling variety of amp designs. Some are clones and some are original designs. Combos and heads are both available. Youtube video Weber Amp Tube Depot sells kits modeled after the Fender Tweed, Fender Blackface Deluxe, Fender Bassman and Marshall JTM 45. Mission Amps offers two starting models of all tube guitar amps, the Aurora and the Aurora Reverb, that are configurable to suit your tastes. The Aurora is available in 10, 18, or 28 watt models, and the Aurora Reverb comes in 25, 35, or 50 watt models. Torres Engineering features a line of amplifier kits include the 3 watt Boogie Mite, the British Invasion Matchless Killer amps, and a Tweed Deluxe on Steroids. The Doberman Music Products website works AX84. Find the building information on AX84 and buy your parts from Doberman. STF-Electronics has the Combo Super Champ and the Champ Head. Worth a look-see. DIY Tube Guitar Amp is a great source for parts, tubes, kits, stompboxes, etc. Really, really informative. I build custom amps as well, but if you want an experienced amp-builder to craft your amp-kit into something to be proud of, give me a call or drop me an email. I'll charge according to how much time the project takes. And, of course, if what you built yourself is not working, call me and we'll see what can be done. Call me, Be safe! Observe published safety rules about measuring high voltages, which CAN absolutely kill you or at least ruin your day. Commercial time... |
