BYOC Tweed Royal Amp Kit Build

[duhvoodooman]

It definitely gets its fair share of use! I have four tube amps in my back room stack here--the TR head, my Allen Sweet Spot 1x12 combo, a Mesa Express 5:25 1x10, and a hand-wired Vox 50th Anniv. AC15 1x12. So whether I'm feeling tweedy, blackface-ish, gain-worthy, or Brit-chimey, I've got it covered. I probably use the TR and the Allen the most.

Very cool. How difficult of a project is this for someone that has never built an amp before?

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it as a first-time amp DIY project, unless you have excellent soldering skills and feel comfortable navigating around an amp layout diagram and schematic. The BYOC kit instructions are excellent and very detailed--all 158 pages of them! If you have an experienced friend who could help with the project, that would make it more viable. Otherwise, I would start more modestly, like maybe a Champ kit.
