Tube Amp Archive

Less then an hour minus paint.
Well worth not having the wife nag and finally being able to open the amp up. The "boxyness" I was getting before is gone now.

A big thanks to all here for the kind support, just finished my brake and all I can say is WOW! Its almost perfect, need a small adjustment to the ohmite and Im set. I have a Weber mass lite and this blows it out of the water for tone at lower levels, Im talking not even close. Looks like the Mass i...

Check out Ac 43 for lacing instructions and also a ton of other wire info.
Lacing comes at chapter 11-158.

Do you have the source for the turret board template tool, Id like one of those.

Looks like a fun build!

Many thanks!

Thanks

Skybolt has offered some tips as well as others. Im capable of the mechanical skills required to do this but being so new new I kind ...

Great, I had finally settled on building an Express, now I have to start all over again.

Great looking work and great clips as well.

Decisions, decisions....

Double post, sorry

I think Ive settled on the Liverpool build, ordered some parts from forum members and working the BoM. The Rocket looks promising as well but I think that will be next in line. "operating at the hairy edge of stability" heh, I work with helicopters, I spend my life on the "edge", Its funny, Ive spen...

Thanks for the warm welcome and advise! Is there any info on this two tube Liverpool mentioned? I did a site search and not much came up under two tube liverpool. Is this the same as the gem Dana just put up in combo form? If so, could someone kindly point me in the direction of any info? Id rather ...

Hi all, wow did I stumble on a great place here! My name is Jeff, Im a beginning guitarist of about 9 months, hardly worthy of an amp of the caliber discussed here but Im in!
