DIY Tube Amp Kits
« 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)

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?
