How Hard Can It Be?

I've been wanting to build my own tube amplifier for a while now... and by a while I mean over a year or so.

I finally decided that I wanted a new amp. Either something big enough to blow out the windows of my house or something small enough to play at bedroom levels and that I can bring with me wherever I end up in the coming years. Regardless, it is going to sound epic.

Vox tone is amazing, simply put. I took a look at the Vox AC4 with the EF86 circuit in it and thought, I could make this. It wouldn't be a horribly expensive project if I screw things up either. Then those famous last words that I seem to have picked up from a certain Top Gear presenter (*shakes fist* at Jeremy Clarkson), "How hard can it be"?
