Title: Hello World
Post by: SkipJohnson on February 10, 2019, 10:45:05 am

Introduction
My name is Skip Johnson.  Here is a brief overview of how I got here:
   • Started playing guitar when I was 12 and have played off and on ever since
   • Worked in the software industry for 35 years
   • Started collecting guitars (and related gear) in 1995
   • Retired in 2014
   • Started learning electronics in January 2017
   • Learning electronics morphed into building guitar effects pedals March 2017
   • Building guitar effects pedals morphed into retrofitting/restoring electric guitar amplifier cabinets June 2017
   • Retrofitting/restoring electric guitar amplifier cabinets morphed into building guitar tube amps November 2017 and decided to call/tag/logo my amps ZTUBEZ.
   • As of January 2019, I have built 10 vintage style tube amps including 2 Champs, 4 Princetons, 1 Bassman, 1 Deluxe, 1 Stereo Champ and a Fender Reverb Unit.
   • Decided my next build needed to be something different.  As I have built vintage Fender style amps, I decided on a British design this go.
   • I came across Sluckey's 1960 Vox AC15 site (sluckeyamps.com) and decided this was the right build for me to take on.
   • Further research on this build lead me here.
I plan to share my build experience here and hope to get any needed support along the way.
