Maybe it would be easier, and a little less expensive, to start from a kit. Like these...

Mission Amps, Marsh Amps, Weber and Allen amps make much nicer kits. Torres kind of has a bad reputation among amp builders. :wink:

I agree. Build a kit. It'll cost you a fortune and a huge amount of time to build a Blues Deluxe. Besides, the kits are actually better sounding amps. Tweed Champs and the Deluxe 5e3 are real popular. You can always buy a used Blues Deluxe, build a nice cabinet made for two 12's.

I hope you have some sort of electronics background. You would have to build it point to point or etch your own PCB.

I'm Gonna need a supplies list for every thing I need to build a Blues Deluxe for myself. Any body that knows, cough it up.


Fender has their amp schematics in the Support tab at the top of this website for all to see. No one needs to cough anything up. Here it is: http://www.fender.com/support/amp_schem ... ematic.pdf
No offense, but can you even read a schematic? Do you know how to discharge filter caps? We would hate for you to zap yourself while you're poking around in there :wink:

What I'm wanting to do is put 2- 12" speakers instead of just 1.


Save yourself the trouble and find a used Blues Deluxe 2x12 from the 90's. Or take 63supro's advice and build a 2x12 cab for an existing Blues Deluxe chasis.

and I would like to build an effects processor into the back of the cabinet. any tips? :?:


???Why??? Just plug the effects processor into the Blues Deluxe's effects loop and you're good to go.

Seems like you're making things very complicated. But maybe you like a challenge. Let us know how how the build goes!
