Looks like fun! Should have posted this in the ham radio forum and did a build-along.

So, OP is attempting manufacture a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bear skins?

I'll guess tube amp build for playing some real rock and roll...
Subscribed for awesome build thread! |

I built an overdrive/boost pedal. I eyed the amp kits.
I got skeered. Wound up with a Dual Rectifier instead. have fun! Definitely post some video when it's done in the music sub! |

View Quote I've been building tons of pedals the last 5 years or so. Very cheap compared to tube amps, usually under $35 in parts. But my real love is tube amps. I don't have any way to record video. |

Appears to be mislabeled. Looks like a tube amp but front says 2 amp.
You should demand a refund. |

Is thus something a total noob could build? I mean someone with no knowledge or experience.
ETA- I've considered getting a Mojotone kit |
|

I have wired more guitars than I could count. Built some pedals. Worked on amps for minor things. Always have eyed this kit though.

View Quote Who me? No, I avoid kits because they usually include cheap parts. But using a pre-made chassis and cabinet makes this build as easy as a kit. |

Quoted: What speaker are you going to use OP? View Quote I'm going to try the Jensen MOD in this one, I don't know if I will like it, but it was only about $25. The last one I used a (reissue) C8R, those sound great after they break in, but they take a LONG time to break in! Too much doping on the surround I think. (Also...5Y3, not 5U4) edit: Just noticed the extra holes, so a re-purposed chassis? Same with my bigger amp. |

Quoted: Tweed is for chicken picking and surfer dude music!! View Quote BLONDES are for Surf Music. I still have my original '63 Jaguar, original Blonde Bassman and reissue Blonde Reverb Tank from when I went through my heavy Surf Music phase. My Brown Deluxe is my Blues Amp. I'm not sure why I bought my Tweed Champ, to be perfectly honest. |

But crank it past 75%, and the little 8" speaker fizzes out, lol. |
