Hi Peter,
Rogers right I built the 5w amp from Ampbuilder a couple of years ago, a very satisfying project. These amps come with first class instructions so go for it and have fun!!

Hi Peter,
No hum, The sound is very good depending on what speaker you use. I tried it through my AC15 Celestion Blue and it was very good and loud for a 5w Amp. The sound probably leans towards a Marshall amp sound, but still very good. A very good practice Amp, I've played Shadows through it and am very satisfied with it. A very useful project.
I see you are located in Surrey, I am West London (Hillingdon) you are welcome to come and look/try mine if you wish.
