I can't seem to finish one without starting another. Id like to thank member Stuckey for the Plexi 6v6 layout. I had a Hammond amp laying around and couldn't figure out what to do with it. That little amp in the middle is like "butter".

I can't seem to finish one without starting another. .
I used to have that problem, then a solution come to light, so I stopped starting new things and start finishing the things already going.
Also it is good thing to jump from things already started insted of to new ones.
Nice collection by the way !

Yes nice collection! Is that a cut down M3?

It's the L or M100 he made the 'butter' amp out of! :icon_biggrin:
kidding, your right it does look like a chopped M3

It is a chopped m3. The previous owner must have been furious smoker/player. The amp and tubes were covered in yellow goop so I cleaned it up and chopped it. The Plexi 6v6 I hand built a chassis and used a longer board and put the filter caps on it instead of using cap cans. The Bassman, Reverb amps should be called re-purpose amps. They have handles, wood, chassis, tubes, tube sockets, output trans, grill cloth, speakers that came from something else. The reason I showed these are for the new members who may wondering if they can build their own amp. Yes you can! Start with something simple, follow all safety practice. Voltage kills, it only takes once. When I started I had very rudimentary soldering and electronic skills. Now I can look at a schematic and not be so lost. The senior members are so very patient and can help you with questions. One more thing, order your stuff from Doug. Best parts and service out there! X44d80
