what is this?
First off, I didn't know where to post this, so if it belongs elsewhere let me know...
I am at that point where I would like to build my own tube amp, something along the lines of a Mesa Roadking, with different tube options in one unit and all. Now, I have never built one before, never done anything except re-solder some stuff on a solid state. So here come the questions...
A) Is it cheaper to "roll your own" when it comes to tube amps?
B) Where is a good source of parts that are high quality?
C) Schematics... Any good resources on how to properly interpret them? Any sites out there that would have some along the lines of what I am interested in doing?
Any help is appreciated...
