    I think I did learn alot as I went along, most of it was just doing alot of internet surfing for Amp schematics, checking out websites and trying lots of different circuits and stuff, I also learnt alot about electrical safety in the process too, if you follow some simple safety procedures amp building can be relatively safe as long as you know what you're doing.


    I've been looking for a good Australian supplier of Guitar Amp-building components and materials for a while, one that I can order stuff from online relatively easily.


    Here's a pic of the underside of the Amp's chassis:Click image for larger version.
