Valve Amp Part Suppliers UK?

vikki · May 28th, 2007, 02:47 PM

I'm looking for valve amp part suppliers in the u.k, the only one i can find is Torres?

Are there any small companies in the u.k that do valve amp part supplies? I've found Ampmaker as well!

Barry at Ampmaker is the most complete resourse in the UK but unfortunately he is currently out of action due to poor health.

Musikding sells a couple of interesting amp kits (from Madamp - not Matamp).

Looks like i can get most of the parts for an amp build from these companies, great....thinking of building a Deluxe Reverb with 6l6 output tubes to give a bit more output.
That opto compressor kit looks interesting.......
Keep em coming!

I've used Watford Valves in the past & found them good. Its just a guy on his own, but he seems to be well clued in.
