Apart from the circuitry, the driver, and a cabinet to hold it all in, is
there really any complicated hoo ha to building a decent guitar amp? I'm
thinking of building a 1959 5E7 Bandmaster copy from some schematics and
component layouts.
The circuitry isn't that complicated, but it may be difficult to find
proper power and output transformers unless some company like Magic
Parts or Ruby is making a good replacement. Without those, you're just
building any old amplifier. If you have a schematic, the first thing
I'd do is make up a shopping list and fill in the "where to get it"
blanks. See where the blanks are.
