| Has anyone try building the 60 watt Mod tube amp kit?and is the amp powerful? Thinking of building it, post your experiences, and open to other kits too. |

i've read that some people didn't like it due to the noise, but, i really don't remember where i read that. you may want to google "problems with mod kit." i know that amplified parts just had a sale on some of their kits but don't know if it is still on.
i've completed three 58 deluxe 5e3 clones, some with mods. the only one that was a kit was the tubedepot kit that was very well documented and i would recommend it. note that it is only about 18 watts but they do have higher wattage kits.

i've also read about hoffman amp kits that a lot of people like so you may want to check them out.

the tele forum has amp discussions and even a separate subforum about amp building.
here is the link to the subforum.

| Thanks Greg, I checked out the Allen amps, they have one with a 115, I am considering that amp, it comes with a blonde tolex covering, just curious of weight I will check it out also, I have electronics experience working in that field to be able to get it together,I like the 112 also, but the 115 would give me a better frequency response for my steel. |

I don't have any experience with the Mod kits, but I did build a DR with a Weber kit. I would source the parts myself in the future, like my first build, a "Twin" clone. Using a Weber chassis.

| Hello Bill, I like the amp cabinet you have what color is it? Is it similar to a fender cabinet, do you have pictures? Does it have reverb? |
