I only have one speaker from Weber and it sounds great. Good to hear someone else's experience. I just recieved two ceriatone kits and they are incredible. Weber stuff comes with medium quality components but the Ceriatones I got have top notch parts. Holy grail caps and orange drops and transformers that weigh a ton! I am super impressed  with what I received from them.

Does ceriatone offer kits to build the boards or only pre assembled circuits boards?

Im not sure. I ordered package two and was expecting all the parts and was surprised that the components were already mounted. Thats the fun part  :(

But, I ordered the overtone series so there is still a ton of work in the wiring. ;)

I built an AA764 Blackface Vibro Champ Kit from triode electronics.  I had an old crate amp chassis and built it inside there.  I'm sorry I have no clue how to put a pic on here since I'm new, haha.  I love the way it sounds, and the guys at triode were super cool and helpful.

Two more good tube amp kit sites I didn't see in this thread:

www.ampmaker.com
UK Based, good prices AND he takes off the VAT for shipping outside EU = win
www.brownnote.net/
USA Based... has a few kits, with a nice small-chassis plexi giving me GAS

Comfort Player

Here is another great "starter" amp kit site offering 1/2, 2, and 8 watt kits.  I built one of the 1/2 watt kits before tackling a Mission 5e3. 


Excellant docs, gret sounding amps ( mods also available )

Here is my build, which I named Bubba's Head and Bubba's Belly since I built the cabs from Bubinga.  The custom tags where ordered from the Ted Weber site for only a few bucks.

I've heard bad stuff about Brown Note.  Like long, long lead times.  No communication etc.  High quality product, but may take forever to actually receive your kit,  Not personal experience, just what I've heard on other forums.  Just a heads up.  ;)

Here is mine:

It has parts from numerous suplyers, not an entire kit.

If I were you I'll start with a Valve Jr there are several resources on the web that supplies "kit" for this model, turretboards or guitaramplifierspcbs (god blesss Stingray).

An ampmaker kit is a cheap alternative too for first time builders, http://www.ampmaker.com/

Cheers to all of you punk rockers!

Ask directly to Nick at ceriatone, in the past he sold me even separate parts not listed in his website, from long time to now he only offers hole kits but the best way to know it is asking him directly.

Cheers.
