TAD Amp Kits – Do It Yourself… with a Tube Amp Kit from Tube Amp Doctor
Looking to create your own signature tone or follow in the footsteps of vintage Fender and Marshall classics? Then TAD Amp Kits are just what you need. In addition to our popular TAD tubes, we offer fully assembled kits for building your own amplifier — including tubes, hardware and chassis. From the smallest screw to the cabinet, everything you need is in the box.
Affordable Alternatives Instead of Collector’s Prices
We make sure every part is carefully matched to deliver the authentic sound of iconic amps — but at a fraction of the collector’s prices that originals now command. Our TAD Amp Kits are inspired by the specifications of some of the most legendary amps in music history, but they’re not simple clones. With clever solutions, modern materials and manufacturing techniques, we offer pure tube tone with just the right touch of vintage character.
Amp Kits — The Joy of Choice
We offer our TAD Amp Kits in different styles, each inspired by classic Marshall and Fender designs from past decades:
Tweed Style DIY Kits
One of the absolute classics among guitar amps is the Fender Tweed Deluxe. When these early modern guitar amps hit the scene, they began a legendary journey through music history. On request, our TAD Amp Kits come with a high-quality tweed cabinet — authentically nitro-lacquered so they don’t just sound right but look the part too. After all, tone is about more than just sound — it's about the complete experience!
Brownface Style Kits
Our Brownface kit is inspired by the legendary Fender Brownface Deluxe Amp and its authentic internal design delivers a fat, dynamic sound. Its loud, defined tone makes it a perfect pedal platform. Whether fully equipped with cabinet and speakers or just the core for your own projects — the Brownface is a stunning 20-watt amp!
Blackface Style DIY Kits
Fender’s Blackface series has shaped generations of musicians and remains hugely popular today. Our kits deliver that unmistakable sound, combined with modern parts and components. We offer our TAD Amp Kits as standalone units or including cabinet and speakers. With premium tubes and high-quality electronics from our range, your DIY project is sure to succeed!
Plexi Style DIY Kits
It’s not just Fender that built legendary amps — Marshall has its icons too. None, however, is as iconic as the Marshall Plexi. Whether it’s the 18-watt Plexi or the 100-watt Lead version — we’ve got everything a true Marshall fan could wish for. With an authentic circuit design, a period-correct cabinet and raw, powerful tone, a Plexi is the perfect choice for real rockers. Our carefully selected components revive the unmistakable Plexi sound of the 60s.
No Time for a DIY Amp Kit? No Problem!
Admittedly, our amp kits aren’t for beginners. Working with high voltages, soldering and precision assembly isn’t for the inexperienced — and can be dangerous. If you’d still love to own a real TAD DIY amp for guitar heroes, you can benefit from our workshop’s expertise and order a fully assembled amp kit. Top components, excellent craftsmanship and incredible tone — all at a fair price.
