[blues_freak]

I assume you're going kit route? If so, which one? AX84?

 

[harbinger]

I don't understand the point of this thread...are you just asking who's interested?

If so, I am interested in learning how to do it. Can anyone recommend a good thorough book or information source that can help? Assuming I have zero electronics knowledge...which is basically true. :-D

Interesting, but I wonder how loud 2W is.

I can help design the exterior

Interesting, but I wonder how loud 2W is.

I can help design the exterior

The MS-2 is 1W, and it can get quite loud, though with not-so-nice tonal characteristics.

The Zvex 1 is good

i already build SE lead from ax84 and its 15w, its too loud for me.
i bought all the parts locally and its not cheap pwer transformer alone cost me $150.
for those who is interested i can help you build one but i warn you its not cheap and not guarantee it will look good, soundwise ..... tube sound!!!!

cheers

Let me do the designing! Haha!

My 10watt overpowers my entire room when set 3/10 with pedal, 1/10 without. Its amazing how loud some low-wattage amps can go.
