I’m really interested in a smaller kit like a champ. I’m pretty good with electronics. I was the electrical diag guy at my job as an auto tech.

Sweet! Thanks for your replies. I'll probably take it over to my amp guy for a safety check just to be sure.
And yes I will deficient build and get the proper tools for the job too. I think I will pull the trigger tomorrow. |

So this is that cab I'm thinking of getting for this amp too. I think a Greenback ought to work well. What do you all think?
https://www.mojotone.com/Cabinets_x/...2m-67-Heritage The original combo's were a 1x12 right? Do you think a 2X12 would be better? I really like the angled idea of this cab. My Twin has kick back legs and I put my little Mesa on a kick back stand. |

Good to hear from you Clint. We've missed your wisdom with amps . I avoid all social media except for the AGF. It's my escape, lol.

I really like the original design with the vibrato. The sound clips I heard from it were great but I went with the TMB without the vibrato becasue it has the master volume. That way I can get those tubes nice and hot but not blow the windows out of the neighbors house.

FWIW, I just saw stew mac is having a sale with $100 off of amp kits until the 18th.

Yes I admit I have pondered what seems like could be a great wintertime project of building an amp.
For me It would be an Amp Head and somewhere in the 5 - 20 watt range I do know how to solder (a bit) and have soldered a couple times on the circuit board of my Monster 3500 power conditioner but am not what would be considered "experienced" by any means. So I would be looking for a well designed , simple, straightforward all inclusive kit. I don't feel comfortable trying to spec my own components ...... And I am only interested in very good high quality components price is not so much a factor as quality and ease ( with the caveat that , up to the point where it might be only a little more money for an assembled one ) I currently have a Supro Titan 50 watt and REVV D20 20 watt, so I would be interested in a different contrasting flavor but not sure if it would be more like a Marshal or a Fender Blackface or Tweed flavor,,,,, or other ?

I went with the Champ because I have small hands (gal with a 4 1/2 ring size) but YMMV.

Thanks for the reply As I understand it the Supro is a wee bit "Darker" than the traditional Fender but it is high headroom clean before brake up so you may be right on,,,, So are looking at a kit , which one , ?

I am also thinking of building a kit. I'm retired and just looking for a fun project. I don't really need another amp.
I'm debating between the Mojotone and the StewMac Champ kits. Not sure if the StewMac kit is worth the extra $, but maybe so for my first attempt. |
