Ah yes the new amp day thread. I've been playing through a '72 Fender Twin that I got in about 1992 or so since that time with my band. I lugged and dragged that thing everywhere. About ten years ago I played this little Mesa amp in a music shop and loved it so much I got it. It was a low watt light weight combo that would be Sooooooo much easier to bring to gigs and at this point we were putting everything in the PA anyway so I didn't need 100 watts of Fender power.
It was a lot easier to carry and it's a great amp that I still have but... I kept going back to the Twin. I probably will keep going back to the Twin but I though I would try another low watt alternative and building an amp has been on my bucket list for a while. It's truly a kick arse amp and well equipped to overcome any drummer in the band. And now I reveal to you the 18 watt Marshall clone. This was from a Mojo Tone kit. What a fantastic little amp this thing is ! Installing the pots and power supplies in the chassis wiring the turret board: Ready to bench test Light bulb resistance tester And the best part A fellow luthier with a CNC was kind enough to make the logo for me. The font is called 'Amplify' based on the Marshall font. |

Fantastic! If I ever build an amp kit it'll be an 18 watt Marshall clone. The logo and amp face look fantastic!

I know I totally dig the logo!
This thing is LOUD too. This particular one by Mojo is also higher gain then the typical kits too. Plenty of power for live gigs. |

That's what I would opt for also, the higher gain model.
