If you've ever thought about building your own hand wired amp, but weren't sure where to start this is the series for you. StewMac tech, Tommy Stumpp, shows you everything you need to know step-by-step for building your very own Tweed 5F1 amp kit.
In Episodes 1 and 2, we prepped our cabinet and chassis. We also went over important safety information about tube amps. In Episode 3, we are going to build the main circuit on our vintage-style eyelet board and solder everything so it is ready to put into the chassis!
Tommy shows the entire build step-by-step so you can follow along at home. It doesn't matter if you've never even soldered before, you can build this amp!! In this 5-part series we'll show you everything you need to know to safely build one of the world's most iconic guitar amplifiers.
Everyone from Clapton, to Walsh, to Richards has used this tone beast for some of rock's biggest hits. It's an easy build and a great place to get started into amp building.
