Your Opinions Please!

So I got a nice 1x12 cab loaded with an Eminence Wizard "Redcoat" speaker just sitting here giving me guilty looks :lol:

After a recent successful Boothill 5e3 build I would like to build an amp kind of a polar opposite of the Tweed to go with my 1x12 cab. I am looking for low wattage, great sound, likely British-flavored amp to go with the Wizard speaker.

My first choice is the Ampmaker SE-5A kit. Are there any other good options for consideration out there? Thanks for your opinions and thoughts.

FENDER VOX MARSHALL FOREVAAAAAR!
J/k, that doesn't help much :)

I would think an amp with a pentode input along with an EL84 would be nice.

Pentode input? help me a bit on that. What amp kit would you suggest based on that?

How about the Matchless spitfire clone (from ceriatone). I came across this video and really dig the tone he is getting. He also is playing through an eminence Wizard speaker :grin:

So what are the real differences between the Se5a and the Spitfire amps? Spitfire has more watts I see but both have 12ax7/EL84 tubes. Are these similar in sound and gain?

Thanks.

+1 for the Spitfire. Plenty of layouts out there. Ceriatone, Watts, etc.

Same general idea on the tone as the Spitfire.

Do you want SE? When printer2 suggested a pentode input and an EL84, my first thought was "AC4".
