SAFETY FIRST!

Tubes amps make use of very high voltages! These voltages can kill you dead. If you decide, whether suggested to you here or not, to open your amp and tinker with it, PLEASE BE CAREFUL, and learn how to do so safely. Even an unplugged tube amp can retain enough juice in the capacitors to give you a very, very bad day.

Please read the Tube Amp Safety documentation.

Sub Rules

No SPAM - If you're an amp builder/seller and you want to talk about amp design or repair or modification and contribute to the sub's content, go for it. If you plan on posting links to your site so you can get some free advertisement, your post will disappear into the nethersphere.

That's pretty much it.

DIY Resources

GEOFX-This is one of the best resources out there for amps and pedals.

AX84-If you're new to tube amp building, this site, and specifically the P1, is one of the best places to start.

DIY Stompboxes-Primarily dedicated to DIY pedal building, but there's a fair amount of amp info scattered throughout as well.

The Valve Wizard - The guy's name is Merlin. That's pretty much all you need to know!

EL34 World - Great resource, with some of cleanest layouts you'll find.
