Here's a link to a post at the Buy, Sell & Trade Lounge over at the BYOC forums. One of the senior moderators & builders-par-extraordinaire, Jeff Rubin (a.k.a. Geekmacdaddy), is selling two amp heads he built himself. These are being offered at less than his cost, so they are great, great deals. Too much wattage for me, but if you're looking for something up in the 35 - 50 watt range, these are extraordinary values:

The first one is based upon the Bassman 50 head and pushes about 45 - 50 watts through a pair of 6L6's. The second is Jeff's build of the "Rocket" variant of the legendary Ken Fischer Trainwreck design, loosely based upon the Vox AC30. This one uses a pair of EL34's for about 36 watts output. Many knowledgeable amp-oholics consider this one of the very best sounding amp designs ever conceived. Here's a demo of an original Trainwreck Rocket, if you'd like to hear the tone:

If anyone is interested, I can put you in direct contact with Jeff. Just send me a PM....
