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 step-by-step how to build our Tweed 5F1 amp kit. Episode 1 we go over prepping the cabinet and basic safety procedures to deal with voltages contained in a guitar amplifier.

In this 5-part series you'll learn everything you need to know to safely build one of the world's most iconic guitar amps. Tommy shows you the complete 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!!

Everyone from Clapton, to Walsh, to Richards has used this tone beast for nearly 50 years. It's an easy build and a great place to get into amp building.
