Hi again!

I built this amp half year ago. Quality parts, transformers and desing. 15W, all tube, simply like a cave-drawing... :D

Beautiful. Just really spectacular. Big Congrats

You can upload to YouTube, then use a YouTube-to-MP3 converter (those exist!).

No worries, dude, I was only pulling your leg! If that thing only sounds half as good as it looks, you've got a killer amp there! And yes, I will take your word for it!

Is that a kit from ceriatone? I was looking at this a while back, and bought the turret board as the shipping was so expensive for the rest, and source the rest myself in the UK. How does it sound? I have been having second thoughts about the build, as I have a Dr Z Maz 18, and have been thinking it may be too similar, and I might build something a little different instead, perhaps a Dumble clone.

Perhaps I could pick your brains about this, shoot me a PM if you don't mind, as your build is IMMACULATE!

Good work!

It's too bad the wiring is hidden inside.  Beautiful work!

Niiiiice. What kind of sound do the Matchless amps do? Are the Merc Mag xfrmrs worth it?

Thanks guys!

#hammerheadmusicr: The board is not ceriatone kit, I made it with my hand. Sound of the amp is like Vox AC30 with a little Marshall Plexi tone. My first impression was that high is too much, but when I used this in band I was pleasantly surprised. If turn up the volume and master pots around "3 o'clock" the tone will crunchier.
(I don't know what mean PM...sorry for my poor english)

#alanp: "Are the Merc Mag xfrmrs worth it?" I thing yes. I thought if I build an amp it's be the best with the best parts.
