Marshmallow's build thread

[NZTone.e]

Wow, I’d by that for $700, I’ve spent that on pedals and been disappointed…

That's crazy cheap, you need to factor in your time as well as materials, in nz you'll be lucky to get parts for that, unless you bend your own chassis out of aluminum etc and then its your time you're giving away. I'm sure Mike will be able to comment more on his costs.

Tempted to buy that and sell the parts

What sort of coin do you build an amp like that one for?

With this size we're usually looking at 500-700ish. But pretty much let this one go for cheap. Haven't built one in NZ so I wouldn't know the cost .

Dibs if he sells it or you build another! Even with shipping that's a bargain.

Dude those amps sound killer and your playing is fucking great too, I'd offer to buy one cheap too but I think I'm quitting guitar instead

Nah I understand what you mean. This particular one was cheap to make in Japan, which is why I mentioned I wasn't sure the cost to build one in nz. Probably a little more haha. And I do charge time if it was custom work, not from my collection.

Moving up the wattage, next is the single-channel TC Custom 22. It's still one of my favorites. It's not quite a Fender, and not quite a Dumble, and it takes pedals really well and lots of sustain and bloom. The Tweed amp head, however, is on steroids. It can easily go into blues breaker territory but still retains the bloom from a D-style amp. It can do cleans with just a switch and has power reduction and has all the goodies e.g. preamp boost, deep switch and bright and a very reactive mid knob. I should also do a video on this green amp.

I also had the pleasure of meeting Tuboholic. Such an awesome bloke who makes great amps, coffee and has plenty of awesome gear.
