    Anyone ever built their own guitar amp?

    I finished building a Marshall 18watt type amp last week, needs tweaking. the tubes turn bright orange at full volume. Biasing is messed. Easy fix. The fucker just SCREAMS tone! Not your usual setup either. It's using two 6gw8 tubes pushing 20watts combined. Very hot running amp.

    Now I'm on the ball to build a 7watt EL84 single ended class A workhorse. ordered it from http://dobermanamps.com with a 6np1 tube to switch into at night for 1 watt playing.

    If you're into building amps, check it out. Also check out http://ax84.com (where you get the schematics and support from their forum full of tube amp geeks)

    So what have you guys built?
