Class this weekend was great fun. Nice to see everyone again and to make new friends.
 
So I am giving lots of advanced notice and holding class in a cooler city. Anyone here thinking about attending?
 
How about another class later in November in Nashville? Any interest?
 
BOSTON PLEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!! Much as I would love to travel to Chicago or Nashville...
 
It's a money thing for me- would love to visit those cities and build an amp but I just can't afford it to do both. I would certainly do one in Boston, and might be able to round up others.
 
Bruce, where can I get details about this seminar?
Date?
Cost?

What amp will we be building?
 
Below is part of the info we email when you request it. So, email me at begnater@aol.com for the rest. Thanks

Two Day Amp Building Seminar Chicago
September 13/14, 2014
Cost $1950

Have you ever thought about how cool it would be to work on or even build your own amp? Where do you begin? How do you find good information? We are offering you a unique opportunity to learn about and actually build your own amp at our Two day amp building seminars. The class will be held at The Music Garage, 345 N Loomis St., Chicago, IL 60607

Here’s how it works. When you sign up for the class, you are also purchasing a truly custom amplifier kit. The finished amp (that you build) is a superb sounding, 25 watt, hand wired, Marshall “style” head. The circuits we have designed for you are highly modified and can produce beautiful clean to heavily overdriven tones. This amp is not a toy. You will build a truly professional level head that you can actually play and gig with. Each “student” has his/her own work station for the two days. We walk you through the process of building your amp kit a step at a time. You can’t fail because we are there to guide you. We take the fear out of it. You are guaranteed to walk out at the end with a great sounding amp head that you built with your own hands and knowledge that you would spend a long time acquiring.

The requirements for success are simple. It helps to have some basic soldering skill, but even if you’ve never soldered wires before, don’t worry. About 70% of the previous participants have had no soldering experience at all. Within an hour or two, the fear was gone and they became “soldering fools”. You really don’t need any electronic knowledge (though it doesn’t hurt). You should be somewhat proficient at using basic hand tools (screwdrivers, nutdrivers, pliers etc). That’s it.

This is a fun and exhilarating 2 days of learning and building. There is a no more gratifying feeling than taking on the challenge and succeeding at building something with your own hands. Understand this will be an intense 2 days. It is critical that you arrive well rested, and ready to “go for it”. You will see from the following pages it is important that everyone stay focused and arrive on time. The classes we have held in the past have been a fantastic success. They do fill quickly so don’t hesitate too long to sign up.
