Hi all, we will be in Piscataway, NJ on May 9, 2009 with all of our amp kits. Including the newest kit, being released at the show, the 100 watt master volume 2203 kit!
This 2203 is early, JMP style and is based on my own ‘79 2203. The kit will have many options (mods, FX loops, 6550 or EL34 etc). Please watch the Metro forum for updates and details.
Thanks!
