In this episode, I breathe new life into a 60's Roberts R200 radio, previously pilfered for vintage components, and transform it into the ultimate practice amp! Join me as I walk you through a stepbystep guide to building the classic Ruby amplifier on a vintagestyle tagboard. This is more than just a build; it's a journey into the world of analog tone and vintage mojo.

Using a myriad of vintage components and the original Rola speaker, this amp is packed with character and a sound quality that you won't find in modern amplifiers. If you're searching for a oneofakind, allanalog practice amp with a unique and timeless sound, look no further!

But that's not allstick around to the end for a sound sample that showcases the incredible tones this amp can produce. Trust me, you won't want to miss it!
