You should've just posted what you don't haveI've got way to many for one pic. So here's some of them.

Parts came in on Thursday, Friday I had a bit of time and started to populate my 5E3 build.
If I can make it 1/2 or even a quarter as pretty as HamishR's amp builds, I'll be an ecstatic kitty.
Of course, having it sound good would be the cat's pajamas.

Here are my main 2 AMPS. I also have various Ampless setups that work well, but as far as my "studio" work and bigger gigs, these are my babies.
Bugera 1960 Infinium PLEXI Clone, and Hughes & Kettner Grandmeister 36
The Grandmeister has stuff in the bottom of the rackmount before I was moving in to a new house, so that isn't the "norm" for the clutter. hahaha

I was really surprised at how much I liked it!.!!
I think it’s way underrated...

I 100% agree. This amp is a BEAST. I retubed it with 2 Sovtek EL34 NOS Tubes, and 2 EL34 Tung Sol's, as well as a Tung Sol 12ax7 in preamp tube 1 slot, a second Tung Sol 12ax7 in #2, and an Electro Harmonix 12ax7 in #3 Preamp slot.
This bad boy breaks up BEAUTIFULLY with that Tube saturation. I literally could run it WITHOUT (and often do) any pedals attached. It doesn't need an OD or anything at all. But I do sometimes throw one in front and pound this bad boy a little harder, and she pumps out massive amounts of tone and volume!
You ever ran yours without the PPIM engaged and cranked? If so, I am sure you have felt the same thing as I did when I tried it.. in a closed room, in front of my Vintage 30's cab.... I am almost sure my heart stopped, or at least skipped a beat! lol

Sweet.!.!!
Yeah I’ve been waiting on the stock tubes to get a little more out of em and I’m gonna re-tube mine... man I haven’t come close to cranking that thing!!!
one of my favorite things to do with that is use a dizzy tone and it gets this crazy stabbing sound I haven’t ever been able to get without that exact combo...
but yeah I’m a fan...

I just pulled my tubes immediately (well, I played it probably an hour before hand) but I have always just loved the Tubes mentioned. The best part is the mixing and matching due to Infinium, and the H&K Has similar tech in it to allow the same thing.. Which BTW, is an amazing amp as well, always loved H&K's.... it's probably the blue Lights lol
Absolutely beautiful amps! I love the look of that JCM!
I have big plans to build a couple of the Ceriatone Amp kits. If you haven't checked them out, give them a look! The Chupacabra is one of the ones I plan on building, and the Slash AFD Amp is another for sure. Ceriatone is gonna break the bank for me when it comes to the amp side of things. lol

I used to have an '84 2204 JCM 800. It was my main amp in the band I played in about 10 years ago. I boosted it with a LPB1 that I made and it was awesomeI had just put up a little blog about my amps here. This is the one I will never get rid of:
and this is the one I use the most:

When I get a house I plan to start with the amps. Not enough room now.

I've seen less gear at distributor's warehouses.

I like that plan! I need to tell my wife... "BABE! Next time we buy a house, I plan on buying a boat load of amps (you already have a ton), DON'T INTERRUPT ME!!!! What I meant was, a BOAT LOAD MORE Amps, and design our house around it!" lol
I will probably get a divorce after that... But that means MORE AMPS!

My wife chose our living room color to match one of my amps. I've got 4 guitars hanging on the living room walls, and a gear room upstairs. Oh and drums and more amps in the basementI like that plan!
