DIY 6V6 JCM 800

Many of you will know of this kiwi guy, he makes some seriously cool gear, and was on here for a while from memory... he's just released free plans for this amp build, so good!

Featuring a cameo from NippleWrestler playing geetar!

His method for drilling the chassis is genius, along with the wiring process... wow.

[StrummersOfThunder]

Gee you’d never guess he was a kiwi…

That’s really cool

[NippleWrestler]

Shout out to Geoff, amp legend. Also a fantastic videographer.

Goodness, his wiring and filmmaking skills are impressive! Really, really makes me want to build anothe amp

have I gone mad? or is that guitar strung upside down? and being played Hendrix style?

Prior to pickup change and Freddie's arrival.

My old guitar teacher was the same, being a lefty growing up playing someone elses right handed guitar, makes it hard to copy what they're doing

His videos are so good, a real talent there, so engaging!

Do you know a ballpark figure of how much it cost him to make the amp?

That video was so calming to watch. I had to stop 1/3 way through or I wouldn't get any work done this morning

Ditto!

That was a fantastic production.

What a satisfying video. At the start I was thinking, "hell, reckon I could make my own amp". But watching his workmanship there's no way I could make anything half as tidy as that.

Would love a JCM800 one day. I always end up using a modded 800 with every modeller. They just cut through and sound great in a mix.

I tried to make one once, to the Elams plans. It's not bad to actually assemble the thing and put the things where they need to be but getting that level of precision and neatness was beyond me. It's seriously next next next level, and makes a lot of other amp builders look remarkably amateur by comparison when you see a gutshot and it looks like someone dropped spaghetti in there.

Thanks Jeremyb for posting, and thanks for all the kind words.

Special thanks to NippleWrestler for the fine playing the many demos and for all the feedback about what was OK and what could do with attention.

It was actually the idea of NippleWrestler to build the project, and also for the FX loop. The YouTube comments revolve mainly around NWs upside down/inverted playing, very cool styles..

Cheers
