a matchless could be very cool! I just need some "oomph!"

any suggestions for "new guts"?

I have an opportunity to grab up a Peavey classic 50 head. It mostly works. The only knob that does anything is the master volume. Every other knob has no effect whatsoever... The guy says it has been modded to only have one "bluesy" tone. I though it might be a good project. My question is: Since i...

I have an opportunity to grab up a Peavey classic 50 head. It mostly works. The only knob that does anything is the master volume. Everything seems to have no effect.

That sucks. I'd really like to build one of those. Does anyone know what amp this guy worked his circui...

LMAO. That's just nutty... Great amps or not; The man was insane...

But I know that doesn't qualify me to build tube amps. I know the voltages are deadly also. Zapped myself real good looking at a gu...

Hey fellas, So I've been snooping around amp sites forever now. And I am finally ready to attempt something. I need some sound advice on books. I can't afford to buy a whole lot of books at once. So I was hoping to pinpoint anywhere from maybe 1-4 books that could get a guy well on his way to buildi...
