My kiddos gave me an amp kit for my b-day/father's day...

[Fusionbear]

My kiddos surprised me with an amp kit. It's a Weber Natalie. But, I'm going to build something a little different in the preamp section. Not sure what yet. We'll see.

Here is what I have so far:

 

[japetus]

A nice full bassy 6v6 tone with a mid cut option, and throw a JBL D120 in there and maybe sprinkle some crystal lattice on there.

 

[Alpha Stryke]

TLDR instead of tormenting the forum with his hot licks Carl chooses to torment the forum with another killer amp build he won't make for sale.

Happy Birthday Carl.

I'm going to build it as a two 6L6GC power section, perhaps an Ampeg or Sunn preamp. Still deciding...

If my kids bought me that they would know its my death sentence.

If i survived the build Id need the fire department here when i power it on

Sunn Scepter (mine was stolen in 2001)

So the preamp is basically a S200 with tremolo and reverb.

I am going to consider the S200 preamp section. I like how it takes pedals. The clean tone is wonderful too...

Can't wait to hear it. Mine was stolen by presumably crackheads in South STL in a building next to Off Broadway. If I ever found them...anyway.

Looks broken. Did they pay for shipping insurance?

Awesome, I love building amps. I would do it everyday if I didn't have so many already.

It's an expensive hobby.

Yeah, no shit!
If its not bad enough that Carl is a baddass mofo on guitar, for all you new kids on the block, Carl used to be a legend around here with his amp build videos.
Every single build sounded freaking incredible.

The original concept for the Natalie sounds like a cool idea, but I'm sure whatever you choose to build will sound stellar!

Good luck, and keep us posted

Yes, the Natalie "as is" is a very nice amp. But I have those tones covered very well already. If my build doesn't sound right, I can always redo it into something else....

Don't be jealous of the purple shoes. I understand that it happens though.
