MOD 101 GUITAR AMP KIT – BACKGROUND
The MOD 101 Guitar Amp Kit was designed for anyone who is interested in building their own tube guitar
amplifier head and learning some simple circuit modifications that can be used to tailor the sound to better suit
their tonal preference. The modifications are instructions and supplied parts that allow you to build 32
variations of the amp circuit.
The amp is meant for concert stage volume (up to 60 Watts). It is equipped with an impedance selector
switch, giving you the flexibility to use it with the speaker cabinet of your choice. (We recommend using it
with a speaker cabinet that has an overall wattage of at least 100W). Use 16 AWG speaker cable to connect
from the amplifier to your speaker cabinet. Set the amplifier switch to match the overall impedance of the
speaker cabinet.
