    18 watt marshall clones

    Hi, I have recently been looking at purchasing a 18 watt marshall plexi copy or having one built as I don't have the room or sound space for a big marshall stack but still want to get that vintage tube tone.

    Does any one know any builders of them around the Toronto area?

    +1 many times over. I own two, built 3 more (including the 18w "Plexi") and every one of them kills.

    if you can build a box, and cut and paste vinyl, that in my opinion is the hard part. The Bill of materials, layout and lots of advice is available at 18Watt.com and
    the parts save a speaker can be had for about $300 at A1 Parts on North Queen Street.

    I Built a 5E3 tweed deluxe out of a Filmosound amp, I'm building a AC15 ef86 with a second chanel using the Trem from a Marshall 18 Watt.

    The Weber kit is a little more reasonably priced than the Trinity, but the trinity has the edge with caps & resistors. Both are relatively easier to build than how I did it, but I have access to Hammond transformers, and other electronic parts through work.

    another +1 for Trinity's 18w kit; I did an early one a few years back; great parts , great support (from both Stephen and his board).
