Misssion amps has a 5e3 kit that's relatively inexpensive. It's not a real complicated circuit and I favor hand wired amps as opposed to PCB's.

and would just scream when you cranked it up to 10!

Loved my early 70s silverface Champ--great sounds out of that little sucker!

I also like the slightly sick sounds of my first amp--a solid-state Gibson GA20--it's not perfect for every guitar, but when you hook up the right one to it, it's pretty cool...

Had a nice little silverface Champ that got sold to fund a larger amp purchase. Also had an early 60's Kalamazoo Model 1 that sounded unlike anything else I've ever heard.
