Watch Luke's time-lapse build

Lots of Amp Maker customers have shared their builds on social media. Luke sent a link to a time-lapse video of his WF-55 based project that you can watch on Youtube.

Amps of all shapes and sizes

…and colours, so many colours. Sometimes all on a single amp! This Ab Fab creation is by Ian – one of hundreds of customers who have sent in photos of their completed amp kits. If you want ideas and inspiration for your amp’s finished appearance, check the Customer amp gallery.

Important safety notice

Building any electronic device is potentially hazardous, and almost all of the Amp Maker kits are mains powered. Being valve-based, there are also very high AC and DC voltages inside the amplifier.

        For this reason, none of the projects are suitable for children (under the age of 18). I will always encourage young engineers and hobbyists to get into electronics, but it must be in the company and supervision of an adult.

        In addition, amp building is something that needs attention to detail, and that level of detail is impossible to get across on a mobile phone screen and many smaller tablets. So please make sure you have a full-size computer screen or a 100% print-out to use when following the PDF construction manuals.
