Building a Matchless Spitfire head.........

[Stu Diddly]

I'm very interested in learning how to build amps. I've built some guitar pedals and have some knowledge of circuits, but I don't know much about guitar amps. I'd love to one day build an Matchless Spitfire. Can someone direct me to a place where I can learn how to built a basic tube amp.

Thanks

id suggest a book. go onto amazon or similar and look up guitar amps. ive got one called "understanding guitar amps and getting good tone" or something like that, which is a good book. it doesnt go too much into designing an amp, more describing what differentiates popular designs and has a section on making amps, including a section on building an amp designed by the writer. its good for a beginner, doesnt get very technical on some things (it is a bit misleading about what a cathode follower is)
