Beginner wishes to build tube amp


Hello all, 

I am searching for a winter project and thought "what about building my own tube amp"?

Any and all suggestions on kits, difficulty, what to avoid etc.. is welcome. 

 

Thank you,

Doug

I built three Elekit amps.  They are perfect for the first timer because the instructions and layout is super.  Not to mention, Elekit products sound great.  

You can definitely take 1-2 hours of YouTube lessons on soldering and board stuffing and be fluent for this purpose.  

As noted above, be careful with amp-speaker matching.  Elekit (for the most) part are lower wattage designs. I think they may have a bigger Push Pull now. Viktor is the North American distributor for them. He's in Vancouver BC and responds to forum posts and emails.  He's super.
