Default Valve amp build, anyone interested??

As per title really, im building a valve guitar amp for my final uni project and instead of sticking up loads of pictures etc and finding no one is interested i thought id ask first.

So does anyone want to read this or should i go get my coat?

Ash.

I'd be interested. Not because I'm interested in guitars or amps, just because I like techy stuff

My grandad gave me a schematic for one, and I think he still has the valves, I have just not ever been into electronics...

Crying shame really.

This would be cool to see.

I'm starting to play with electronics - mainly using little ATMega series PICs.

Have already built (but not tested) a Pointy Gear Indicator.

Interesting. How many pennies did that cost?

Not saying

Not because I am being awkward, but because it was all done on breadboard with a fully assembled PIC Dev board (to get something that would run it ok you only need the CPU and a Timer), but I figure the materials for the controller come in at a huge amount less than the commercial ones, but I have no idea on how much it will be to weatherproof the display, and getting the same conenctors as are on the bike so that it just plugs inline may prove to be next to impossible.

Lets just say I have spent < £10 to date.
