Hey guys,
I decided that I would like to start on my first tube amp build, and I thought I'll share the process with you guys, so that everyone can learn (even myself).
I didn't wanted to collect all the things by myself, so for my first build, I wanted to pick a kit, which contains everything, and maybe later on, if this will be a success, then I'll try to collect all the things myself. I looked at a lot of different sites, where I could buy a kit, and most promising site was the Tube-Town site. Really great collection of things for an amp build, and it's based in Germany, so shipping is not a nightmare for me (I live in Hungary). The kit that I'm starting with is the Marshall 18W kit, with a head chassis version (you can also buy a combo chassis). It cost me 311€ with shipping (kit and chassis), so not crazy expensive, but comes with great quality parts (Mallory caps, JJ tubes, Hammond Output Transformer, etc..)
These are the first pictures, from the start, I'll post more pictures later as I proceed with the build tomorrow.
Please share your thoughts, critics, etc..
