Good call on the Tweaker.  Be kind to it, cuz they're a bitch to fix (tight quarters and a lot o' stuff crammed in there).  The Epi VJr and Blackhearts were good cuz you can tweak them pretty easy and there's a ton of info out there.  One of the ones that flies under the radar is the Laney Cub.  I'm a Night Train (15w version) freak and you can find those for cheap from time to time.  This will go over like a fart in a spacesuit but the Peavey Vipre series can be had on the cheap too and depending on your opinion of modeling amps it's capable of some cool sounds.
Even if I decide it's not my gig, I can turn it, or give one of you mugs a deal. As for the modeling amp, I was looking for that strat tube amp sound, I just dig it for what I'm wanting to do. Don't get me wrong, I have a schecter diamond series with hum buckers too. Looking to play some blues and learn to play some blues in guitar.

Not a phaser, sounds great with a strat, just bought a geetar amp, methinks Jimi's gonna switch over permanently to the six string side of life soon.

Nice build brother, keep em coming.
Not permanently but part time would be fun

Hey hey hey, I see what you're doing....I already been looking at them.  I have a 1x10 right now I can use, if I don't like the way it sounds, that will be next. Did you get your wah running? Sounds awesome with a terrible torroid inductor from how Gagan. I change q1 to stock though, it has more wah

Wait so are you left handed or do you play them upside down? The red with granite pick guard looks great, I have a pbass I did the same scheme to.

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that you had stacked opamps, different diodes, and a different gain pot or something for the higher gain side

Perhaps my madness has finally taken over?
Yep, on the forums and grind customs, Rej makes some suggestions on how to do it. I stacked them on one side, sounds pretty mean.

Build Reports / Professor Tweed

Here is a standard professor tweed, sounds great with my Strat, I went with a Fender tweed motif obviously. I think it turned out well.

Looks good. Do they sell cabs also or just the pcb? I haven't looked too much at it just yet.

Cool. The budget part is because I'm a bassist and will probably never be a rhythm guitar player in a band. Is hate to spend a lot but I want something that sounds good, a sub 200 tubed amps don't seem to be good quality.

I like the tweed sound

Alright sounds like a perfect opportunity to build yourself a KILLER little amp. Maybe a bit more than $200 but so worth it.

Fender F51 Champ
Tons of kits out there and a great first amp to build (assuming you have not built before)
I have not, challenge accepted.
