“I shared with you some pictures of the WF-55 I built last year. Great amp! I then built a N5X, made a custom head and a 2×10 cabinet. Good fun! Anyway, building these kits was a good fun for me thanks to your great explanations!”
“Just a few photos of my final build with the WF-55 kit. I used an old generator and built a custom oak cabinet with a 8″ Weber. I’m really happy sound wise (power selector at the back, tone and switch for neg FB in front) and the look is kind of unique. Thanks again for …
“I finished my take on a Champ combo today and I’m loving how this thing sounds. So far I’ve added a capacitor on the first preamp stage to gritty things up a bit and I’m debating buying a push-pull pot to enable and disable negative feedback without cluttering the control panel. “I made some changes …
“It took me a while to build the amp. Especially the woodwork, I was only able to do it on Fridays when I’m off work, and in the garden, so I was dependent also on weather. I have made the cabinet out of an old pine table I had, finished it with some shellac. For …
“Since you liked the Double Six cab, I thought I’d send the pics of the 18 watter as well.”
“I thought you might be interested in this. I used the transformers I recently purchased from you for this build. It is a Fender Princeton/Deluxe Reverb hybrid, no tremolo, built using 4 sub miniature dual triodes valves in the preamp with 2 x 6AQ5 miniature output valves cathode biased which should put out about 10 …
The NoSo amp fits into more or less anything. “Every thing mounted on the front for easy access. Just needed to add a battery holder.”
“Thank you for the PP-18 top plate to my amp. It looks much better now. I am rather bad to computers, like better making amp kits, the soldering and all that. At first I made the amp 2×12, but recently I reduced it to 2×10, Jensen Mod 50 watts each. “It sounds great. The Tone …
“I’ve finished the WF-55 combo today. It sound great. It has a bit more noise than my PP-18 but I think it is normal with this tweed type amp. Maybe the placement of the output transformer is not optimal but it works fine. I used a bit bigger chassis than the usual so the wire …
“I’m loving playing the WF-55. It’s a great little amp and just perfect for playing at home and not disturbing the neighbours too much (I hope). To build the combo cabinet I decided to make use of some old timber that we had in the garage left-over from repairs and renovations to an old house. …
“Well I finally finished the N5X amp I bought off you a year ago. It foundered unfinished for a good while ’til I finally got down to it at Christmas. After a thorough checkover in line with your instructions and actually of all the connections from components to the boards, which revealed 3 dry joints, …
“Just to show you my finished set up. The speaker cabinet is a front ported, closed back (a sort of copy/clone/replica of the 1×12’’ Mesa Boogie Thiele) that I made about a year ago, and used an Eminence wizard speaker (16 ohm, 75W) that I got from a colleague of mine. I was then looking …
“Here’s a few shots of my little 55. I used an old bread box, modified it a bit size-wise etc, and I’m using a 1×12 cab with a HiWatt speaker. I use a little distortion/overdrive Boss pedal too. This was my first venture into anything like it, so the ease of build holds up. I’m absolutely …
“Amp is great. I finished building a Head shell for it, finger jointed pine with figured mahogany panels front and back.”
“I bought a P1800 kit from you a while back and finally completed it. The amp sounds great. I made the cabinet myself and it sits on a Hiwatt 412 speaker cab circa 1974. That has seen better days but still sounds great.”
“Hi. Here is a pic of my P1800 that I just finished. It is covered in cream-white and brown leatherette with gold piping. The head is made out of bookshelf pine and glued together. I used spray glue for the covering this time and it was a bit easier to work with than the …
“I forgot to send you the photos of the N5X complete, see attached file. By the way nice cabinets from Chris!”
“I have attached a few photos of the Double 6. The cab has maple sides a black walnut top and a 15” speaker sounds great. The back and front I have stained in some sort of orange burst, anyway I am pleased with it. The speaker is a “15” eminence 1518 – not a rock …
“Here’s the N5X – Buzz is almost undetectable at full VCB, full gain and full volume with the bypass switch open, and it sounds fantastic. Problem now is that I am not sure if I prefer the SE5, N5X or Double Six.”
