Just kind of curious. Who here builds amps? If you've only built 1 or 100 share your experiences!

I just built my first amp, based off of a Valve Junior but uses a 6v6. A friend of mine built the shell, and Danny Walters Etched the plate for me!

Nick Dunwich builds amps!
I believe there are a few others here that have built amps as well.

I build some small ones. Always fun projects. Eventually I'll get into some tube designs.

I just want to see some builds! I don't think I have the time or patience to build my own, and I'm also considering having an amplifier built.

Awesome stuff!

I think I inquired about one of your amps a few months ago, but I wasn't sure what I wanted. I still don't! :picard:

Nick is my wiring inspiration. I used to just make them connect, now I at least try to make it nice, still no where near as neat as that.

What kind of wires are you using to make them stay so nice and in place.
Solid copper?
