Members M900 Posted July 24, 2006 Members Share Posted July 24, 2006 If you don't mind paying the shipping from the US, stf electronics sells a champ head kit for $212. http://www.stf-electronics.com/ It seems like an easy build, though I haven't had a chance to work on one yet. c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PolyFmorf Posted July 24, 2006 Members Share Posted July 24, 2006 Guytronix A few of us here have built his kits and they sound GREAT! Excellent help too. I've had him answer questions in as little as 30 minutes. I'm sure he can mail across the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HBS Posted July 24, 2006 Members Share Posted July 24, 2006 Check out Ampmaker.com if you're in the UK. I've built one of Barry's 5watt kits and I love it, it's damn loud through my 4x12"! Here's some pics of mine: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v181/disposable_hero/Amp/ Cheers,H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mmb Posted July 24, 2006 Members Share Posted July 24, 2006 http://www.ax84.com/ AX84 has an amp design called the P1 that they say is good for a first build. They also link to a site that sells kits for the builds. I've read good things about the design, but I've not built one... yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dan-o-guitar Posted July 25, 2006 Members Share Posted July 25, 2006 +1000 on the Guytronix kits. Top quality parts, fanstastic transformers, a great builder's guide and great tech support. Oh yeah, and a really excellent sounding amp when you're done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t_e_l_e Posted July 25, 2006 Members Share Posted July 25, 2006 really nice and cheap are the madamp kits from germany, you can order them from here: http://www.musikding.de/ i'm considering to buy the 2Watt version, if i can convince my gf that i should build an amo also be aware, if you order a kit from the u.s. the power tranny will be for 110V /60Hz power supply instead the european 230V/50Hz, so ask the guys before ordering if they also have an european version of their kits. as far as i know guytronix has none on their webpage...

Members stug Posted July 25, 2006 Members Share Posted July 25, 2006 I built the High-Octane kit from AX84 a little over half a year ago, and I found it to be well worth the effort, and the amp sounds pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tigger_ferret Posted July 27, 2006 Members Share Posted July 27, 2006 www.tedweber.com Alot of different amp kits and at a very good price. also I've heard lots of good things about www.guytronix.com and if you just wanted a tweed Deluxe then www.missionamps.com is a bit more expensive than weber but is a bit better quality parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
