How can I start making OTS by myself?

[plysters]

Hi!Everybody I 'm curious.IF I wanna make it myself,How could I start?

I'm a absolutely beginner.Please give me step by step advice.

Thank you. : )

Please give me step by step advice.

I am sorry but that won't happen.

Best advice I can give you is read a ton, learn as much as you can and start on a simpler/smaller amp.

which tube amp book is the best for beginner?Thank you for your advice.

Listen to ChrisM.

If you don't have any electronics or soldering experience it would be best to seek some good reading material and get yourself familiar with all the basics. After that research and choose your amp design.

What kind of sound do you want? Hard to make suggestions without a reference.

A Brown Note D'Lite kit is a good place to start.

It's a simplified Dumble inspired (not really a clone) circuit. They have a pretty good build manual available on the Brown Note forum.

There have been some people that have have had to wait a long time for their orders to ship in the last year, but I think that Moss has been getting caught up recently. I suggest that you e-mail him to check availability and current lead times.

This is all sound advice. YOU need to look up the basics on the web, otherwise you will likely electrocute yourself in fairly short order.

This is not TV-Land, where there is an instant answer for everything. You have to do some real work.

I'm NOT joking! 15 thousandths of an amp direct current through your heart at 400 volts WILL kill you, immediately. No second chance.

Miswiring something could burn your family's house down too.

However, if you truly have the motivation to build something that you can hear in your inner ear, but cannot find, you have indeed come to the right place. This forum has some of the most talented and experienced people around, but you have to apply yourself and learn the basics.

Google "beginning guitar amplifier building", or something similar, AND look in the the dumble files section, and don't hesitate to ask SPECIFIC questions here. We can help you.

here's something at least...

Build a 5w SE type amp first so you can find your way around the workings of an amp.

This is what I did

Have a look at the construction manual to get an idea of what's involved.

A D style is MUCH more difficult, I can tell you But if you are determined, good with soldering and a DMM, respectful of voltages and mains power, then you will succeed.

Good luck

Check out "The Guitar Amp Handbook" by Dave Hunter. It walks you though
the guitar amp stages and explains much of what you'll need to know.
There is also a chapter on building your own amp with a great little design

Lots of wise advice here, I may add Kevin O'Connor books (TUT series)

have fun

Hi!Everyone

Many thank for you all.

Every advice and suggestion sound so friendly.

Which one is the most cover from basic-master

Thank again

I would advise you to start by building a few pedals.No dangerous high volts and no expensive parts to damage.By building a fuzz,an overdrive or a booster you will learn many of the skills that are needed to build an amp.

[bigmik]

here is some good information on basic tube amp opperation and safety procedures

I'd agree, pedals are a good place to start. Less outlay on cash, when its complete you'll have the satisfaction of something you built yourself that works. You'll gain experience in soldering and wiring. From there a small amp after much much reading so you know how to handle a circuit that has lethal voltage. Then a small amp, AX84, Champs perhaps a tweed deluxe which is just slightly harder but still a cathode based amp which won't require biasing which requires you to at least be familiar with high voltage circuits and is a bit more difficult, if you get it wrong, burning through tubes etc.
To be perfectly honest and some might not agree but I think most will, your a few years out from even thinking about a ODS and I say that just because there is so many connections and things you need to understand first. Starting on something that complex a) wouldn't be wise b) more than likely wouldn't be completed c) wouldn't be a fun experience due to the complexity. If you want a ODS immediately and aren't willing to go through all that, perhaps you should look at Ceriatone at they're ODS clone and have Nick build it for you. I wish you luck which ever way you decide to go.

Regards,

D.
