I know huh? Thats why I chose this amp. Which, is not a beginners build. It's a more advanced build, but I couldn't help myself.

I wasn't clear from my brief read of the site, which wattage version are you building, or is it a matter of tubes or what? I'm a total newb for amps.
(I really can't get over the EVH sounds pulled in the demo. OMG! :eek: )

Oh, man it rocks! How much (+ shipping) for you to send it to me when you are done? :)

Well..... The kit alone was exactly $500. I fixed and sold that Marshall amp that was given to me. That helped pay for the cost of this little bugger.
It's not a powerhouse but, it has some unique features.
Go buy one. It's not that hard. If this goes well, sounds well, I may never buy another amp again. Just do DIY kits. I'd LOVE to hear the club and stage versions....

Here is a couple of pics of my status.... I'm about 70% done...

99% done. I have one last thing to do which is set the bias resistor. Which I have to get a little assistance one... Then it's time to start my pre-checkout steps to ensure voltages are accurate and what not.

Well done, Rick.
Don't rush the last little bit. Every step is important.
