I started my 1st build last week. It's going to be a 3 channel 20-25 watt 6v6 build. I'm combining the JCM800 type kit I got from Trinity Amps with a design from Headfirst Amplification, called the Mini. It's basically a 3 channel clean, plexi-like, BE 6v6 amp. Channels 2 and 3 are the same, but have switches for boost, BE, JBE, Plexi modes. It's slowly coming along, and I've been learning a ton as I go.

Re: My 1st amp build!
Interesting, I wouldn't think plexi and 6v6 would go together. Good luck man!
Re: My 1st amp build!
Enjoy. Should be excellent from the clips I've heard of builds using that board.
Re: My 1st amp build!
That's pretty sweet, never even thought about building my own amp.
