Amp finished and gone and withdrawal sets in

bottledtone

Another amp gone to a happy customer and a bit of withdrawal sets in. There's a lot of time and love that goes into building an amp and I kind of feel like a surrogate mother handing over the baby.
Anyone else get that feeling?

I don't think I could ever sell anything guitar-related that I've built. I get too attached to my creations...

amen....... I built a warlock when I was 16 and finally got in a great working state. Even though it's not the most comfortable to play, I think that I'd cry if I ever parted with it.

Building my first few tube tamers and letting them go felt like that, but after making a few, I got used to it. Probably because I am able to reproduce them exactly and I know I will be making more in future.

?I don't think my customers are gonna be too happy if I don't hand it over and they have already paid for the build. There is one amp of mine that I have been asked to sell but I never will. I was dedicated to my wife and signed inside.

Just need to get on with another creation and my blues will be gone ?

Probably gonna get knocked for this, but the customer wanted to use this old telecommunications thingy as an amp so I chopped, stripped and put together this.

And the distortion is so creamy..... a Orange tiny terror modded circuit.
