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.
