The thing is, I think it would bring a lot of personal satisfaction building my own amp - even though it is a kit. I know it did when I pieced together my home made strat.

I'm thinking about building one of the Champs first then I may have a better understanding if I want to tackel the OTS. However, the amp I really want is the OTS and part of me thinks "why waste my time with the champ?"

Ok Noobie question here.

I've been reading about lethal voltages and the warnings and how to build a circuit that will dissapate the electricity.

Won't the charge dissapate by itself in a relatively short amount of time?

Where are your blogs located?

Thanks for the read/advice guys. I wanted to start with the Overtone, but being a beginner I'm having 2nd thoughts.

Thanks for the advice and input.

Yeah those pics look like a lot. I would hate to buy the kit and then get overwhelmed with all the parts and I could see that as a possibility.

What makes this such a difficult or complex build? Is it the extra features added?

I looked at the schematic of the champ and it has less to wire.

There is a part of me that want's the satisfaction of knowing I built it.

Hi all. Obviously I'm new here as I just heard about CeriaTone this week.

I want the Overtone, but I'm not sure if I should get the Kit 2 or Kit 3?

I have some limited experience reading schematics and wiring my guitar, but I've never worked on an amp.

Who here has built their amp? How hard was it? Would you recomend this for a beginner amp to build?
