yay so it can be done. I'd say my soldering skills are possibly adequate but maybe a little bit on the average side but that's comparing to my father who is a a 35 year experienced electrician and electronic technician., he will be doing this with me but just to help me I will be building most of it I hope. I  also have passed basic electronics and electrical on a large scale subjects at uni. I understand electrical circuits including amps but haven't had a lot of hands on circuit building other than stomp boxes. How long was your build of your 50 watt hrm bluesmaster and how complex compared to other circuits you've dealt with?

Thanks for your help. I will head over even if I don't build the BM to learn as much as I can before I build any amps. After all I really should focus on my uni exams hahahaha.

Also sorry all for the horrible grammar/spelling I am normally very pedantic about theway I write, guess I'm a bit tired.

Hi all,
I'm brand new to the forum and a lover of all things guitar and electrical. I'm a first year electrical engineering student in Australia. I've built and modded several pedals Boss, digitech and done very minor maintenance to my amps a dsl401 and a laney vc110.

So here's my question. I wanna tackle a build of a 100 watt hrm bluesmaster. As a first amp build is it plausible if I am careful and use my dad a qualified electrician's watchful eye. I love the bluesmaster and really hope I can achieve this, also I don't have the money to buy multiple kits for "practice" being a uni student and all.

Also reverb wise I have a kit outboard fender gc15 witch I am building(It has direct instructions) will this work in the passive effects loop or will I need a c-lator.
Thank you all for your patients with my newbie questions.
