DIY Guitar Amp Help

[Travis]

Hi everyone!

I wanna build a guitar amp with similar sound of Carr Impala, wich circuit is based?


Could I use a existing kit of some TAD or tubetown??

Thanks you all for helping me

I read carr impala is BF bassman AB165, could I make the 5F6A build sound like AB165 or the deluxe reverb 22 sound like AB165 modding vintage channel??

Thanks

The latter is more likely than the former

You can probably buy a 70s bassman and mod it to that for cheaper than any of the kits.

definitely would convert the ab165 to aa864 ... would be the cheapest route

Is it your first build? I wouldn't recommend building a bassman as your first amp. It's certainly a tricky build compared to others for a variety of reasons. First, it has 4 speakers which will be a hefty sum.
If you do a head and then a cabinet that will be even more difficult than a combo and you need general woodworking experience as well as have to know how to cover the cabinet with tolex, and that's just a few reasons. You would be better off just buying a silverface bassman and converting it.
