“I recently the N5X kit from you and spent a couple of enjoyable days building it, my first real amplifier. I have since modified it by adding a second octal base and an EL34, a 3 position wafer switch where the indicator lamp was and drilled a new hole for the lamp. I built the […]
“Here are a few pictures. I found an old radio speaker cabinet , and added a few retro touches. The K stands for Kailua, which is the name of our record label. The cabinet is about 15X15X6 – so it is not really a desktop amp – but there is room for expansion. I would
“Just completed the build on my Tweed amp, all bar a few odds and ends. I have taken some pics during the build, if you want to use them by all means. Great little project and so very pleased with the end result.”
“I thought you might like to see some pictures of the cab I built for my WF-55. The amp build itself was a breeze – took me less than a day about 5 months ago! I’ve only just finished the cab. It’s for my son to take to university in September, and he’s very happy
“Glad you like the bread bin. I added a footswitch socket on the front next to the input.”
“Firstly I just wanted to apologise for ordering all the parts for a p1800 kit even though you’re not selling them at the moment. Thought I’d take it on as my first tube amp as I love my Wem Custom 15 but it’s a bit old and noisy. I’ve just finished the amp and I
“I’m very pleased with the N5X kit, the online information and support is great. I like the ability to tweak and try different output valves, for now I’ve fitted a 6V6. I found it helpful to read all the documentation before starting. “The case is 18mm thick 12 ply timber. During the design, I was
“Wonderful amp, great success. I’m very happy, a truly wonderful project, great design. The only problem is some of the red sharpy pen I used to draw out the inside of the tolex is leaching through to the top vent, and the hole I cut in the front of the cabinet is slightly too big
“Hi Barry. Project finished. Main timber is recycled architrave over 100 years old, the timber is Australian Red Cedar (Toona). This timber is not commercially available. The architrave is machined down so that I have planks 20 mm by 140 mm. To get the width of the panels I had to join the red cedar,
“I have attached some photos of the 18W which I built a while ago now. The cabinet is Mahogany and Bubinga stained cherry red I have put a lot of Sozo capacitors into it and every body who plays it wants one well done you for the kit.”
“It’s a Trainwreck Express circuit adapted for Russian 6N2P preamp valves and 6P1P, known as the Thrifty Wreck, found the schematic and build info over at www.SEWatt.com. Sounds great incidentally, monster amount of gain on tap. Problem is now I’ve built this I have to build a full size Express.”
“All finished today. The amp combo performs beautifully and joins the WF-55 combo I built last year. They are very complimentary. Thanks for making such great kits. Very enjoyable to build. “It took quite a while of considering different ideas before I went for an unusual configuration as I wanted to have easy access
David started with a rustic box and a cassette player case. It’s now a stereo amp with 6V6 output valves.
“Hi Barry. Finished the NX5 build and it works great, I’m impressed with the quality and value of the kit! The cabinet is pine stained with antique colour then varnished, and the grille is mild steel expanded mesh sanded and clear coated with car spray lacquer. Luckily we had a spare offcut of the mesh
“I found time this week to finish the amp and all is well. Since it’s mainly built with Amp maker parts (with the obvious exception of the chassis), I thought you might like to see the finished product: my ‘Oscillator to AC4’ project. The tremolo circuit was a bit of an afterthought, hence it’s unwieldy
“Hi Barry, just finished my phono preamp project thought you might like to see it as most of the parts came from you. I had one of your transformers from a previous project and ordered the other parts last week. I chose to house the transformer and a few other parts separate from the preamp
“I recently built an N5X kit with a combo cabinet from Chris Uff, and I’m enjoying the new amp immensely. It is not only my first build, it’s my first-ever electronic project. It’s nothing out of the ordinary, just a classic combo in white tolex with black piping. I opted for a 2×10 configuration with
“I hope all is well. Just thought I’d share a couple of pics of my amp build. It’s pine furniture board from Wickes. I’ll never be a cabinet maker but I’m pretty happy with it and more than happy with the sound, lovely in clean and a savage gain! It’s been a really good experience
