Title: retro 1940 guitar amp build
Post by: valvedude on October 11, 2014, 10:02:37 pm

here is the other amp i just finished it took 6 months to build from scratch a lot of fun any thing is possible all you have to do is have a go

i am self tough and all my skills come from reading learning books and reading  forms and talking to people

i thought well most amp a box's why not brake the mould do some the comply different etc

and the sound and tome was amazing and the level of volume incredible  :-+

all the timber came from my tv unit i could not give it away so i cut it up

the same timber went into making the 2nd amp

I like the green hammertone enclosure. Is that the correct term? Anyways it's very original looking.
