David from Brazil scratchbuilt a Champ using the WF-55 manual as his build guide. “Hi Barry. This is the guy from Brasil. My WF is ready, finally. The cab was made by Family Jorge Luthier, they are very well known here in Brazil; they also made the chassis. They are two sisters one is Veronita […]

“I have made a hybrid amp between PP-18 and P1800 into a very small old Dehay radio. Preamp section is PP18 and the power amp section is the P1800 with the four modes and VVR. “The turret board has turrets and components on both top and bottom – mandatory to fit into this small enclosure.

“Just for interest attached is my latest build using your parts – tag board, transformers and various other parts. It’s a scratch build that I was recommended to try called a Phat Ass 16 Or 26 dependent on the exact configuration. Using two EEC83 and a pair of EL84s. “Pre-amp runs both sides of V1

“I have now completed my project which was the conversion of a Vox Pathfinder 15 watt solid state amplifier having tremelo and spring reverb, to a wholly valve amplifier with approximately the same output power and with tremelo and spring reverb. “The valve complement is 2 x EL84, 3 x ECC83, and 1 X ECC81.

“The January build was a JTM45, it contains quite a few Amp Maker parts especially the board. I used Danbury transformers. Cab was the biggest job, finger joints cut by hand.”

“I’’ve been collecting images and descriptions for your gallery. Only Donna-Lee (#0003) has really benefited from parts, but boy, has she benefited. Those Neutrik jacks and Sprague caps have made her just splendid. I went a bit overkill on the orange at first, but have reduced it to just on the signal path. “I’’ll probably

“Thank you very much for all your components and your advice. I finally finished my amp and it sounds pretty good!! Better than I could imagine! Here few pictures of my project, just next to my custom home made guitars. “The black knob on the left of the input jack is a negative feedback loop

“Here is a pic of my little PC amp. My normal thing is my valve radio collection… 30 or more!”

“I bought a Double Six power transformer and a Double Six output transformer, and I used the Double Six schematic as a starting point. I removed the complete tone stack, added a GZ34 tube, a 5V transformer for that GZ34 tube, added a switch to choose between a diode rectifier and the tube rectifier, added

Using Amp Maker’s 0-190-275V mains TX and 18W output TX, Aleksi has built another amp from scratch. Once again, hes also used the PTFE (teflon) board to quickly make up small boards. “I built an amp during the Summer with a parallel 12AX7 (bright and dark voicings) driving an EF86 with a pair of 6V6s

:) One man with a serial amp building habit, Aleksi has again used multiple PTFE boards for different parts of the circuit. It’s another very busy amp chassis. “I attach a few pics of my latest build. It still needs some tweaking with the reverb and the power control, but it’s 99% done. After giving

“Here are some pics of my Princeton, I finished it yesterday. Built with your PTFE board and turrets. She sounds fantastic – unfortunately she’s sold already, so I only got her for another week.”

“Just wanted to say thanks for the great service and fast despatch. The PTFE wire worked great in my DIY Hybrid valve amp / Cassette player. “The Amp is a 12AU7 / 50EH5 setup and the cassette is open top with a Philips TDA1522 preamp IC.”

“The circuit is very similar to the SL-18 with a few changes that make it more like the Orange Tiny Terror with separate tone controls. The volume is after the phase inverter and the gain is also a double pot that joins the gain and volume of the SL-18. “Also added the switchable output mod

“I love my 5watt high gain monster. I decided to build a wedge…why? It just made sense, my main amp spends most of its time tilted back at 45 degrees facing up at me with a mic in front of it. “Donor chassis, everything else I did. Cabinetmaker by trade. First time upholsterer. I used

“Many thanks for the swift dispatch, order safely received today. I’d accidentally turned my Hot Rod Deluxe into a useless pile of junk by swapping a few components in order to “improve” it but actually resulting it in producing an ear splitting hum/roar every time it was switched on.… The final solution was to rip

“Some pictures of my 18 watt TMB Super Lite build, the first finished amp, front and back, and the second complete chassis which I have assembled and soldered plus tested ok. “The next next pictures show my 6v6GT single ended stereo, top and bottom view.”

“The amp is all finished now, picture attached. It’s a 5W single-ended Class A design using mostly your parts taken from a US kit schematic, with EL84 Power Tube, ECC83S pre-amp tube. It sounds great. It has volume bass and treble. You really can dial in any tone you want. “I made the cabinets from

Not every Amp Maker customer is a distortion-hungry guitarist. The same valves and components can be turned to more peaceful ends. :) “Some time ago I purchased some board from you for my project, at the time you expressed an interest as to what I was making. Well they are finally finished, a pair of

“I have now finished my amp, and it sounds and looks amazing. Not sure if you remember my build idea, but it was a stereo guitar amp. As I don’t have workshop I’ve had to take my time in the build. “I could not believe how loud it is. I use 10-inch speakers Blue Fane
