Welcome to the Amp Garage Stefano.

You are in the Dumble section of the forum.
Are you familiar with Dumble amps?

As far as a home build amp it is one of the more complex and is certainly a difficult amp for a first project.

Have you considered a simpler amp such as a Fender Tweed style or 18 watt Marshall?

Do you have any electronic experience?
Particularly vacuum tube experience?

If not, may I suggest some simpler projects to gain some experience.
Such as building an effects pedal from a kit.

There are very high voltages inside tube amps so it is wise to learn the basics first before exposing yourself to lethal voltages inside a tube amp.

Hope this helps.

Hi Stefano,

Welcome to TAG. It might help us if we knew:

what sound you like
how loud you play
what guitars you play
if you have any electronic experience and
a rough budget.

I know there are other Italian members so you might find someone near you,

Thanks Structo and Luthierwnc for replay me, i have an experience to fix Tv, and i have build same kit , but i don't have experience in vacuum tube... so i konw the risk of hig voltage.
I have a good badget, for good amp i can spend max 1000 euro

I like metallica and AC/DC , my guitar is a Epiphone les paul, i play gutar at home usually 1 hour a day.


good evening.

Hi Stefano , if your "sound model" is metallica or AC/DC , Dumble amp type is not for you! In my personal opinion. You can post in technical discussion , there are many guys can help you in your new project amp!

+1 on Sergio. Make a Marshall-style amp. Easier, cheaper and a lot fewer holes in the chassis. Angus plays (and I'm no expert but his rig doesn't change much) a model 1959. That's not the year, just the version. Here is site mostly devoted to those builds.

Even if a Dumble style amp (HRM) is perfectly capable to deliver high gain sounds, I think that you are in the "wrong" section
With 1000 euros you can find many good tube amps, used or new, that are more indicated to satisfy your needs...if you want to build something, look for a soldano slo clone...with 1000 euros you're in the budget...
