My first amp build...

[diocide]

So I've been working on pedals and guitar electronics for a few years now. About s year ago I got into doing some light repairs on amp, including basic troubleshooting and biasing etc....

Over the summer I picked up a Weber 6S100 kit when they ran a sale on them. I finally got all the ancillary parts together and started wiring it today.

It's not much, but I got the filaments all connected. I used 20gauge solid core PTFE coated wire. This will be the main type of wire I use, since I use it in my pedals.

After some initial issues, the bias pots had to be changed, along with the output jacks and OHM selector.

Moved everything to the first post since photobucket sucks.

Any updates????? Been looking for a while, wanted to see how your first build turned out.

I finally got around to buiding the headshell in the last couple week;

I used two layers of 1/2" birch ply. I doweled the ends and glued it.

After routing and sanding, I cut out for all the hardware.

And test fit before tolex.

And my first tolex attempt.

Looks really nice! I still wanna hear this puppy when she's up! I've been slaving endlessly on my recording studio\Track-Rehearsal rooms. I know how that "Are we there yet" thing goes.

It’s been done for quite a while. Lots of clips on my YouTube channel. Link in my sig.
