Andy40's 5E3 Scratch Build

I love what you've done Andy.! Very impressive! And those corner joints...some work in those..
I bought a Vox AC30 to replace my old Marshall 8080 earlier this year. I love the sound of full valve. The guitarist in my sons band uses it (14 yrs olds) and they love it.

I second that, there's nothing like the sound of an all valve guitar amplifier, my 180 Watts RMS Fender Super Twin still sounds great, and that's 180 Watts RMS of clean valve power, it takes pedals pretty well too, still can't believe I scored it for only Au$300.00, it was a case of being at the right place, at the right time, my Marshall MA100C amp is all valve too, I love both of those two amps to bits.

To my ears, an all valve amp sounds more dynamic, that is, it seems to respond better to your picking, pick softly and it responds likewise, but as you pick harder it gets noticeably louder.
