Title: Beginner Builder Post by: RichardG on March 22, 2009, 02:28:09 AM Hello all
I want to have a go at building an amp from a kit. I have never tried it before. I am competent with a soldering iron and consider myself to have a technical mind. What kit would be a good starter for someone like me. Thanks Title: Re: Beginner Builder Post by: grod915 on March 22, 2009, 10:15:51 AM I went with the 5E3 Deluxe, I'm just getting it together now. (Very slowly due to a hectic schedule) It's a simple amp (beginner friendly) and from what owners have written I understand you end up with a very nice amp.

http://www.ampwares.com/amp.asp?id=56 A favorite of Niel Young. Also, there are many mods available for it on web. Title: Re: Beginner Builder Post by: RichardG on March 24, 2009, 07:38:52 AM Thanks again. There's not many actual components in that old amp.
I might have a go at that one as a start. |
