there ya go, more schematics than you can shake a stick at. What kind of amp are you making by the way... combo or a stack? make sure you get the right material for the boxes so that your speakers dont sound like shit...

I was very bemused as a youngster watching the Golden Girls when Blanche said she was going to "spank her fanny" I had visions of a geriatric vertical bacon sandwich red and bruised from being disciplined!!!

there are some "build you own amp" kits you can buy. mostly like little bassman or blues jr clones.

if you find a powerball schematic let me know. i also have a framus cobra schematic laying around somewhere, i'll see if i can't find it for you.

Wait... Did you just say, "YO DAWG"?!!!

Nice find though on those schemes yo Just try not to kill yourself while building the amp. Metaltabs loses more new members in a year to amp building and tube changing then drunk driving.
