“I built an amp for my son for Christmas using parts ordered from you. The amp is based on your WF-55 amp using the 5W OT and 15W PT in your small chassis. However, I added a microphone channel. I had to add an extra turret board for some of the power supply filter caps […]
“It’s a variant of an Ampeg Heritage B15 with 6SL7 preamp tubes and a 6L6GC output pair. I built it P2P from the schematic, with lots of parts from you. I’m very happy with it, I put some extra filtering in the DC heater line and the LED changes colour when you switch between fixed
“I built my NoSo amp, housed in an old Sony speaker. The guitar input goes where the top speaker used to live, and the LED where the tweeter was. The battery plugs in the bottom left. I love it – a pretty good sound – just the basic one with the wire from 1-8 on
“I have now finished my N5X, it was great fun. And I just want to thank you, for a great amp kit, with a super build guide and for a friendly price.”
“Here comes my humble contribution to your customer amp gallery with the N5X amp which I have now finished. Again I would like say that the instructions were excellent and the building process went without any troubles even though it was the first amplifier that I built. To complete the project I made a matching
“Some pictures of the completed amp. Worked first time so I am pleased with that, still a slight mains hum going on, not sure if it’s the heater supply or I might try the PSU caps, maybe they’re a bit small (33uF each). I’m using the 190v tap instead of the 275 and it works
“I have now added a tone circuit to the amp, a switchable R3 resistor which gives a little more brightness and compression, and a negative feedback switch that goes from stock 22k to 100k. It’s looking and sounding great. I do wonder if a lower negative feedback amount say 56k might sound subjectively ‘better’ than
“The amp was quick to build. The cab took me ages. It’s constructed from 18mm teak salvaged from the bottom drawer from a lab where I used to work 25 years ago. I left the guts visible so I can show them off while saving wood which was limited. Just need a handle. Thanks for
“Finished my build, but have one problem. When the amp is cranked to maximum (last mm of travel on pot) it buzzes loudly. I’ve changed the pot but still doing the same thing. Any ideas, please… (later) Thanks for the advice. I rewired all the input side with shielded cable and it’s all working fine
“Cabinet and tubes from MOJOTONE/TAD. Perfect fit, just put the chassis inside and measured to edge, flipped upside-down and drilled holes for the chassis. :) It sounds great thank you!!”
“I made the cabinet from Paulonia but that’s only my mock-up before I make a mahogany one. Fender V1030 10” speaker and fender ox blood grill cloth. I swear, this amp is making me play better (and also revealing my mistakes more!!) Thanks for the product and your help and advice.”
“I just completed the cabinet for the N5X yesterday morning and thought I would send you a picture of it next to its brother – one of your P1800s. I bought the P1800 secondhand off eBay but didn’t like the cabinet so I had Chris Uff make one to my preference. I have made guitars
“I bought this kit from you in May 2018 or so, thought I’d send you some photos to show you how it turned out. The cabinet is from a disused old coffee table (Teak? Walnut? Cherry?) and the speaker came out of an old Tandberg Sølvsuper 4. The speaker grille appears to be made out
“The (Watts) switch broke when I put the amp in a combo cabinet (from a Peavey Valveking) and placed it front down which put pressure on the knob so it split open at the back. It was quite a complicated construction with springs and small balls so I opted to scrap it for now. I
“Thanks for the parts that you sent. I read the comments regarding static damaging the MOSFET so I kept in it’s bag while I bent over the connection points with round nose pliers to make soldering easier, it was also kept in the bag while it was soldered to the amp connections and only completely
“I used the SE-5a standard for 8 years with Fat,Bright and EQ switches. The cab is one of Chris Uff’s. The front and rear panels are still the originals sprayed ivory white, letraset and sharpie, then as protection and an aged look a very thin spray of varnish. I nearly called her Green Breaker because
“I finished my WF-55 kit and plugged it in for the first time a couple of months ago. I’ve since upgraded it with your VCB kit and a Warehouse Guitar Speakers 20W 10” Veteran speaker. The head and speaker box ideas are obviously plagiarized from ARK amps. My amp boxes are made from macrocarpa (a
“Hoping that this finds you well and that you’re having a constructive sabbatical. Enclosed a couple of pics of my WF-55 in its cabinet. My daughter and I made this while she was being home schooled a couple of years ago and this is our main practice amp at home- we absolutely love it. I
“Here’s a pic of my amp that I completed a few years ago. It’s a lovely little amp. I should add that the amp is completely standard except for the addition of a “watts” switch (chicken head knob in pic) as used in your Double Six, switching the amp between 0.4, 2 and 4 watts.”
“Hi Barry. Hope all is good with you in these strange times. Ages ago I sent you a photo of my WF-55 amp. I then made a speaker cab covered in a matching tweed material. To finish the job I have now made a ‘Tweedocaster’.
