Getting the Amp building itch...

Re: Getting the Amp building itch...

I've always loved the tone of a Tweed Deluxe, I'm just thinking if I want the Deluxe power section or the smaller power section of the Champ/Princeton. I'm kind of feeling the smaller one since I'll be using it more at home, but I guess it's all up for debate. Which of the above kits include the most "finalized" chassis? For the first build I'd prefer to not have to drill tube socket holes and drill/punch the turret/eyelet board.

There are a number of great kits to get started. The 5E3 is a great useful amp. It'll make a great bedroom amp if you change the volume pot to a linear pot. There's an incredible volume jump on them from about 2-3. Also, it sounds way better when cranked.
