This kit can be built by first time builders. It is more complicated than a Champ - but more rewarding too. We recommend that you become familiar with schematics, layouts and soldering in order to assemble the board and wire up the amplifier. We also recommend that you get familiar with high voltage tube amp construction and safety.

Save yourself a lot of time and expense finding and sourcing the parts, and get a professional build as a result.

A Builders course is being designed for those who want technical, hands-on training.

* Canadian customers have to pay appropriate taxes

We also make custom cabinets to fit your Tramp! Coming Soon!

Yummy!

We are going to try something new for the Tramp - Tramp in a Box

In keeping with our objective to make this an excellent low cost amp kit, we will sell the beautiful, unfinished, pre-sanded pine, 110 Combo cab with a piece of black weave grill cloth and all the hardware needed for $225 + shipping. This is a DIY cabinet ready to paint, stain, varnish or tolex and install the hardware. Pre-drilled and ready to go 'naked' or 'dressed up'!

That means, you get a 'Tramp in a Box' for less than $600 plus shipping. Awesome deal. Just add speaker.



If you prefer, we will sell Tramp 110 tolexed Combo cab for $325 for kit customer ($340 if not).
Tolex and grillcloth to a wide array of specs.

Here a few shots of a 110 Combo Naked Tramp DIY Cabinet witout grillcloth. It is made of 3/4" Pine with corner Finger Joints. Beauty eh?

Really like the look of that. Would a 12" fit if you wanted one?

Yes, I think so. You would need to be sure there was no interference with the tubes though. Specially the KT66, but it's set pretty deep already .

There was some talk on another tread about The Tramp maybe being available as a head kit. Is that still a go. I would much prefer a head (easier to hide from my wife!)

...fingers crossed, eyes shut....me saying "please say yes, please say yes..."

Yes. Head is an option. We just have to punch out the holes in the top deck.

Chassis coming in this week.
Transformers next week we hope.
Then the 'real' fun begins!

Chassis are in and Transformers have been shipped from Heyboer.

We expect to be shipping kits out before the end of next week!!

Al'right

Iron arrived today. Shipping will start shortly!

Will the baffle be behind the grill cloth enough for a front mount speaker? That way, you get an extra half inch or so taken off the speaker depth to aid in clearance with a 12.

The cab drawing from a few posts up shows the blackbird coming pretty far back. I think those speakers are 5.26" overall if you rear mount them. Is the drawing to scale (with regard to the speaker)?

The reason I'm curious is the idea of a lightweight 12" speaker in such an amp would really make it a grab and go beast. I've got a Celestion Century sitting at home all by it's lonesome that's pretty low profile at only 5" deep (and that's rear mounted). I used to own a Tonkerlite (another neo speaker) that had a pretty low profile basket and small magnet structure. They spec out at 5.1" deep overall. Pretty sweet to throw a 4 lb 12er in there.

With the Jensen Blackbird Alnico, the Tramp weighs in at 24.5 pounds.

Yeah, I figured it wasn't too heavy to begin with when it had such a 10" speaker. I'm still curious with regard to the questions because of the possibility of a 12" speaker.
