StewMac '66 Brit-74X 18W Amp Kit

Leave your half-stack at home
Born in London, the original 1965 circuit of this compact bluesbreaker earns its living every night gigging in clubs on both sides of the pond.

Launched in 1966 (and originally produced for just two years), this amp quickly became a low-wattage holy grail. This is a stripped down blues machine: two channels, one tone knob, no master volume. Buckle up and go where this gritty beast takes you! It comes with a footswitch to kick in the onboard tremolo.

StewMac has lovingly recreated this timeless amplifier in our '66 Brit-74x Amp Kit. This is one of our Icon Kits: modern reproductions of vintage classics.

The '66 Brit-74x is a perfect place to get serious about amp building. This is an involved amp and will be a fun challenge to complete. If building such an iconic amp sounds hard, don't worry. It comes with detailed, illustrated instructions and all the parts you need to complete this project in just a few weeks.

Details:

• The cabinet interiors are genuine 3/4" North American Pine
• Superior craftsmanship on the tolex covered exteriors with perfectly aligned seams
• Premium quality hardware
• Top-shelf EL84, 12AX7, 6CA4 tubes and vintage spec Heyboer transformers to give your amp the perfect vintage tone
• High-quality period-authentic resistors, CTS pots, reproduction mustard caps, and Switchcraft jacks for their authentic tone and a lifetime of trouble-free use
• Authentic epoxy turret boards just like the ones used in the original vintage amps
• British-voiced 12 inch speaker
