Can you guys show me some photos of your amp builds?

My first scratch built Plexi 50 bass/lead clone 86/87 circuit.

Wow Steve, You can even control the room temperature with this one:

Love the vintage look.

[Steve Conner]

As a frugal Scotsman I find that 12W of heat from an EL84 is about right for keeping the frost off ma sporran.

I completed that amp by painting the faceplate gold, the speaker grill black, and changing the knobs.

Steve, what make/model speaker is in that NinjaCorvetteGold amp? It has an interesting looking cone and surround, like a full-range hi-fi speaker.

[Steve Conner]

It's an Eminence Beta 8, which is a full-range PA speaker right enough. Maplin had them on special, and I had one kicking around looking for a use. It sounded better than the Elac radio speaker that was originally in the amp.

Ah OK, I see the purple cone from behind and the label of course.... The new 8A's don't have the bigger paper dust cap, I wonder if it changed the sound any?

[Steve Conner]

I believe mine is an 8A. The dust cap is the same size as the end of the voice coil, hard to see how they could have made it smaller.

[guitician]

OK maybe I'm seeing things looking through the grill...the opening is for a 10" speaker and it made the dome seem bigger then 2". The speaker is rated for 225 watts!!

So many beauties i'm ashamed with my tiny toy, but it's fun and i like it. It's a single ECL82/6BM8 amp.

Here's a 5E3 based amp with switchable fixed/kathode bias, modified voicing and a couple of other things:









and this is a groud up 1x12" + 2x8" 2x6L6 harp amp

[Tom Phillips]

Nice work Bluefinger.
Your two tone tolex covering design is very attractive.
Cheers,
Tom

Cool thread! Here's one of mine:

First Build

My first attempt was a 5E3 with Triode Electronics parts.
Brother-In-law had access to a CNC punch press and fabricated the chassis.
Red oak was left over from a home remodeling project.
Learned as much about cab building as I did amp building. I now know what not to do.
I use the Vintage AC adapter (thanks R.G.) from the GEOFEX site to tame
the high B+ and heater voltages due to the Triode Electronics transformers.
Have parts to do the mods but it's a lotta fun as is.

This one's a Weber Tore-Vibe, standalone reverb unit with bias tremolo. Only a little tweak to the original schematic.
