Finished My Honey Amp

The amp is built, and it works!  Powered by a 17vac salvaged transformer, through a diy full-bridge rectifier, into a cheapo buck convertor set at 16vdc, and housed in a salvaged VCR.  Played it through a 1×12 Celestion Gold.  It's gritty, but sounds pretty great for blues and rock.  It's also very quiet at idle.  It was a fun build!  Took some extra time due to moving components off-board.

Congratulations on rolling you sleeves up and actually *building* it.  :)

End result is worth it.

Nice job, it looks great!

I've currently run out of kits and I'm up in the air on ordering more or not.
