AGREED!! There's no better sounding amp than the one you build yourself.
It's not that hard to do.

Yes. Those are my sentiments exactly, although knowing where to start
is something of an enigma:-)

It's not rocket science, and as an EE, Justin, you should have
no problems technically.

SET sometimes takes a lot of stick (especially on UKRA)
but there are many good schematics, and people
(especially on RAT) who will point you in the right
direction if required. There is a great deal of know-how
here, and (contrary perhaps to appearances:-) some very
friendly and helpful people.

Justin. Don't be discouraged by those who would disparage
valve/tube audio. Build some equipment, and form your own
opinions. It takes a lot of dedication, as Patrick, Andre, Nick and
others will tell you, but it is quite within the realms of possibility
to build something to equal the products of the major manufacturers.

Welcome to RAT. Hopefully you will keep us posted as your
ideas turn into reality:-)

One of my homebrew efforts can be seen at:
