Did you check out the demo of the VHT Special 6 Combo that he mentioned on their website? For 200 I can't see myself buying anything else for a small low watt practice amp. It sounds killer. It has speaker out as well.

I understand if you want to build, I'm like that myself.

VHT is a very good option indeed! but £200 as an 18 year old is a $@!&* to save up unless you have a Job that pays alright AND understanding parents.
I have the great parents but Im lacking a job atm...Just applied for toys R us.

Anyway im waffling!
£200 if tricky to save so If I can save £200 I might aswell go the extra mile and build something real special!
It'll be very special to me too that way I love to build! I've recently just installed Pickups into a Les Paul Copy I picked up for £20 and its going to be something special when Im done thatll be a while away yet though I should think...I needs a Stoptail and Bridge...And tuners.

Guys you'll spend more than £200 on your first amp build, trust me. A very established amp builder who worked on Michael Jackson's pa rigs told me, "you make mistakes the first time, everyone does".

CR what I did, I built the chassis of the amp and housed it in a Marshall 1936 cab that I had knocking around.
It's not a way to save money. It's a way of getting boutique quality (whatever that is) at a reasonable price.

I really recommend the VHT, brilliant amps, absolutely fantastic quality at a price thats unbelievable. Most amp components come out of China anyways, no matter which amp brand you go for.

No no and no

Its cool Im not looking into the build to save Money Im intersted in having a Stunning Amp for small Gigs in the future. a Little home made combo ideally but Im sure the VHT will suffice until im financially capable of making the necessary mistakes
