Little Amp.....Monster tone?

[bombtek]

I'm working on it.
Actually, I have built it (twice).

But it still takes good speakers...at the very least a single twelve, to make it work.

Yeah?

How much skill does it take to do that? I would be considered a complete novice in this area, but I do have skills when it comes to building electronic/electric devices (built many a complicated faux improvised explosive device to be used for training that actually would work as designed if real explosives were used).

Also, what kind of costs would be involved in a project like this?

Thanks,
Bill

the Black hart is nice for the price. i just picked up a custom 2W amp that sounds absolutely killer. its made by Cliff Chappell here in houston. http://chappellamps.com/amplifiers/october/october.html Here are the specs on it. for house work even at low volume, it sounds really good dirty or clean. its warm, but tight... to me its got a very good balance.

Is volume a concern? Then I'd definitely stay away from tube amps.

The Line 6 Spider series of amps are great at low volumes but start to sound like crap when in a band situation.

Also check out the Vox Valvetronix series.

Check out AX84.com.
They have a lot of resources, and Doberman sells the kits.
I source my parts, as I already have many of them on hand.

Vox Valvetronix or Tech 21.

Yeah, I just picked up a valvetronix ad15vt. Its a kickass little amp. Easy to use, not so complicated as my flextone can be at times. Does the tube string response thing real well. Its a lot of fun.

Love mine. I have the 1/2 watt. A little more expensive but great components

Uberschall..it's only 10.5" high and about 26" wide...not too big. But It sounds nice.

Don't know how they sound but it's small and it's tube:

..I don't know how it sounds either but it looks like a little heater.!! It'd make a great "stealth" amp for the office if it had a headphone jack.. d:^) Schneeky..
