Lame Guitarist Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Was that from a kit? how did you find it and how long did it take you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonhenry Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Not one of those, but I built a Fender tweed deluxe and a 59 bassman knock-off that I wired with a marshall power section, rather than 6L6's. It's a pretty killer amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeid Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yeah, it's a kit. Took me about a week. Was easy enough... and I know nothing about electronics or any of that shizzle. Was good fun and it sounds grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbage Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 yeah i built an 18watt amp using a kit from Amp Maker - Guitar amp kits and valve / tube amplifier components.took me 3 days of full-on-solid-do-nothing-else electrical geekery to finish it.i built the 2x12 open back cab about a year later, real nice amp sounding amp although i rarely use it!!

Huw Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yeah, it's a kit. Took me about a week. Was easy enough... and I know nothing about electronics or any of that shizzle. Was good fun and it sounds grand Where did you get the kit from? and is all you need basic soldering capabilities and the instructions?
