I'd love to be able to. I'll have to ask you to trust me when I say this (and some of you will), the cost of the parts that go into these are pretty high, especially the US-made transformers and the US-made cabinets. It would probably suprise you to know that the power and standby switches on this amp cost about $5 each. I won't get into other high cost, high reliablitiy small items as you can look them up on the net.
I'm not complaining, cuz I love this stuff. Just pointing out that it is impossible for one guy to build low budget stuff by hand. THe only way you can crank out a low budget amp is to mass produce them on circuit boards and hire sweatshop labor to put it all together. The transformers I use cost more than a lot of the budget amps out there. But, that's where the biggest tone difference lies... transformers.
Take a look at the amp kits that Weber sells. Chinese parts whereever possible it seems. It's great bang for the buck if you put it together yourself, but if you hired someone to build it for you for say $200-250, now you're up near what I am charging for this Edana head! Take that one step further. I'm going to warranty my stuff for 2 years. There's a potentially huge hidden cost involved there as well. Lots of factors to consider if you really put it all down on paper some time.
My goal is to keep it in the $1000 or less price range for heads. If I can do that and make a little money in the process, it's worth it. I really love it. If it gets to be too much of headache, I'll either raise prices or I'll stop doing it and properly finish out the warranties of the ones I've already sold.
I'm pretty good at starting successful businesses. This will hopefully be my third. :beerchug:
