I've decided I'm probably gonna get a Fender Super Champ X2 head had use dead Epiphone Valve Std as just as speaker cab. I want a low watt tube amp, and this gets universal acclaim.
However, I decided to look at kits or total DIY, as I can read a schematic and solder, however this looks like a more expensive option rather than cost saving. I could snag a used Fender for $200 or so from the 'bay.
But any input appreciated.
I do have a delay, OD and compressor pedals. Would like tremolo, and volume pedal down road, maybe a wah.
Oh, I want a nice clean sound and a bit of dirty OD crunch. Not into heavy gain. But I do like compressed gain for legato lead stuff.

Thought about it. *caveat, I am not currently a 'player', I am just fiddling around* But most likely I'd convert my self built from scrap into my amp and buy a good head.

Whoa! I was just looking into that.
Mojotone has a couple of kits but I could buy a new Fender 68 reverb for less money and less hassle.
Looked at the Dynakit M125 kit. Might be a contender.http://www.tubes4hifi.com/bob.htm#M125 (http://www.tubes4hifi.com/bob.htm#M125)
If you can pickup a Fender Champ 25 se for a good price you may be pleased for the cost... I like mine very much. Probably wouldn't play out with it but great for practice.
I have a BD2 and a Fulltone OCD that sound great through the Champ.
Please post what you end up doing though.
