If you've ever thought about building your own hand wired amp, but weren't sure where to start this is the series for you. StewMac tech, Tommy Stumpp, shows you everything you need to know step-by-step for building your very own Tweed 5F1 amp kit.

In our first 4 episodes, we went from a box full of components to a completed 5F1 circuit. Now, in our 5th and final episode, all we have left to do is the final assembly in the cabinet and some testing in the circuit to be sure our amp is ready to rock!

Tommy shows the entire build step-by-step so you can follow along at home. It doesn't matter if you've never even soldered before, you can build this amp!! In this 5-part series we'll show you everything you need to know to safely build one of the world's most iconic guitar amplifiers.

Everyone from Clapton, to Walsh, to Richards has used this tone beast for some of rock's biggest hits. It's an easy build and a great place to get started into amp building.

So join us on December 21 for Episode 4 and let's build this rock classic together. And, in case you missed them:
