Building 5 Guitar Tube Amplifiers - Part 1

In this first part, I am painting the output and choke to match the color scheme of the power transformer. Second coats and chokes were finished off camera. Exciting stuff!

Hey dude! Just watched your mic videos 🙂 not sure how close they sound to the “real” things as I haven’t really heard them myself, but they sounded good either way! I definitely want to expand my mic collection and I love the idea of DIY.
What amp types are you building in this series? As in: which models are you emulating, or are you trying to do your own design? Is it a money saver like how the mics were?!

Thanks for watching! The mic series was more DIY as the originals are so expensive. I also haven't had the luck of hearing originals but these sounded killer and David Brown confirmed that they were up to snuff with originals he's repaired.
For the amps, this is a different focus. I have been building amps since 2012 or so and have around 20 amp heads from other brands. It's a bit of an obsession. So this series, while not the best quality, is more a build log for myself to keep track of my progress. Not the most entertaining to watch, I know haha but it helps me document the process. I will add some voiceover in new releases.
I plan to add more detailed videos explaining what i'm doing and what tone i'm after, but these first 5 amps are going to be for sale when finished. I tended to splurge on parts, so no corners cut!

@@metalhead3ecr I think it’s interesting to watch still, but you’re right that I would want to understand or know the thought process/what’s involved like you did in the mic series. Either way, thanks dude! 😁
