Title: DIY Tube Amp Kits
Post by: BWolf on October 21, 2006, 09:18:18 PM
So anyone have any experience putting these things together?  I wanna build a few pre-designed kits before I try and build my own.

Any links or advice?

Thanks

Hey,

Might give www.bottlehead.com a try.  They have a variety of kits to choose from.  Great reviews as well.   8)

What are you leaning toward?

I bought a book about DIY playback amp design a few years ago...  Good book but over my head...

This is the one... The last reviewer on the main page is pretty down on the book.. But it really looks like he is a ringer/kook because he also attacks the publisher. Who in the hell ever cares who publishes a book?
