“Hello, the amp is working well about two weeks ago, the sound is awesome, I totally love it, and with my TS9 sounds incredible. I’m doing exams right now, but when I have a little time I will upload some vids in Youtube. “PS: all my friends love the plexi. Probably they (or maybe I) […]
“Really happy with the the tone overall versatility of the amp. Recorded a couple of song ideas with it if you’re interested in hearing. All of the guitar is just straight into the amp, didn’t use any effects apart from the reverb on one of the soloy guitars in one of the songs. Playing
“I attach a picture of my PP-18. I made the cabinet with is iroko and walnut front panel. It’s shellac polished.”
“I finally managed to convert my 1940s Bush DAC90 valve radio into a PP-18. It’s fair to say it was a bit of a squeeze! I added a resistive mixer input for my iPhone, so I can still use it as a radio/hifi. The VVR works a treat to make it usable as a radio.
“Just to show you the finished N5X. I am very pleased with it, I will try the other valves at some stage when I finish making a speaker cabinet.”
“My father in law is a master carpenter, so I have access to tons of wood and tools if I wish. However, for this cabinet, I used only off-cuts of cherry wood. I also used two layers of mahogany colour, since the off-cuts’ colouring were not all uniform. After that, three layers of transparent coatings.
Some lovely dovetail jointing and a unique ‘propellor’ style ventilation cut-out on Greg’s N5X. Woodwork comes easier for Greg than me, and he makes cigar-box guitars, too. More info here: www.youtube.com/channel/UCgxVDul9cWwRL1a0zqlGGog/videos
“I finally have some pictures of the N5X I built earlier this year. It was a challenge, and there were numerous occasions of swearing at fiddly bits. But I love the sound this thing makes, it takes pedals very well and for home jamming it is a perfect amp.”
Craig’s opted for a bent grille over the front, top and back of his N5X – a good option if you want to keep the valves on show.
“I’ve attached a photo of my fully completed N5X amplifier. I built the cabinet from pine furniture board using finger joints. (After making a jointing jig.) I had intended leaving it bare wood, but my woodworking is not as good as I thought it was! The covering is Marshall red elephant tolex. “The logo is
Tristan started off with a standard N5X and then looked at options for adding more gain while keeping it switchable so that the N5X’s standard tone was still available. “The cabinet is ‘tung oiled’ pine from www.trmguitarcabs.com. Very light, but hopefully darken with time. Some lovely grain there, but not captured in the pic. The
“Just finished your little no-solder kit and I’ve put it in an old gramophone control box I found at a junk shop (sorry, vintage shop!). I’ve used a small speaker from an old PC speaker, which sounds nowhere near as good as the one you supplied with the kit but does fit in this little
“I put one together on Sunday morning in just over an hour. I’m very pleased to say it worked well first time! Just as a temporary measure to keep everything together I have built it into a five inch cardboard tube. Photos attached. It’s just held together with Gaffa tape for now.” “Here are some
“I recently purchased a NoSo one Plus kit from you and planned to build it into a beer keg to make a really interesting looking amp. I want to say the kit is brilliant. A really easy way to put together an amp that sounds surprisingly good. It gives a really bluesy grungy tone that
“I got for the first time 3 of my amps together so I took some photos. The one in front is an original PP-18. To the right, my first separate head and cab, a P1800. “To the left is the SL-18 – the one that’s been on tour with Doug Seeger and few others. Everybody
“Herewith some photos of the finished amp. It’s a scratch-built P1800 marginally modified.”
“I completed my PP-18 and wanted to thank you for putting out such a great product. Your instructions are the best around, so that even a complete novice like me can complete a build and have it work perfectly right off the bat! “Here’s a short YouTube clip demoing it, not great playing, but great
“It took me ages but finally I put some pics of the amp together! I built a PP-18 which I converted to an SL-18. The kit was not available at that time, then I just bought the components myself as you can check from the pictures.”It is just astonishing. I use it at home, in
“I’ve attached a couple of photos of the finished amp. AF Custom Cabs is an hour down the road from me and Mark built me a solid pine 18-watt style cab for a very reasonable price. The craftsmanship is head and shoulders above any amp I’ve owned. I have a Greenback in it for the
