To be honest, I think tube amps can be so dangerous to build for total n00bies, it might be for the best that they expect you to know what you're doing. You just kinda have to know what you're doing.
Mojo Tone is supposed to also have really good kits, but I've heard they come with zero instructions. I've seen them, and they are better than any text book I've ever seen. That surprised the hell out of me, considering how much work went into making it.

Stew Mac even lets you download their instructional manuals free of charge, even without buying the kit.

the instruction manual Stew Mac put together looks to be second to none. For example, the wire Stew Mac includes in their Fender amp kits is that braided cloth "push back" wire that was the thing back in the 60s, and the capacitors and resistors are all supposed to be spot on, just like a hand wired Fender would have been back in the day. if you have a look through some YouTube videos of people building Stew Mac kits, they do look to be of the highest quality, and the most "correct" in their adherence to the original. Still agree with though Stew Mac's kits are about ~15-20% more expensive than any other kits out there.
the savings would be so small, you might as well buy a kit. I did some investigative reporting (ha!) and it does look like one could save a bit of money by buying all thee parts ad-hoc and doing it 100% DIY. A kit is for someone with limited background but wants to give it a try. If you are an experienced tech and want to build something, go for it. You get the opportunity to learn something and to take some pride in the accomplishment. A kit is a convenient way to get everything to build your own. If you were to build a clone of an older model with a selenium rectifier in the bias supply, would you know what was an appropriate part for that? The kit would.Ī kit is not made to save you money, any more than buying all the parts and building your own Buick would save money. I could, and many do, make my own eyelet board for a Fender build, but for the novice, the eyelet layout might be a challenge. But for someone who has never built an amp or maybe one, a kit is a convenient way to get everything in a box, and depending upon the kit maker, assembly instructions. Oh maybe, if someone asked me to build their kit for them, but in general I have my own commercial shop and decades of experience, so I am not in the market. Kits are not really aimed at experienced techs. HAte to get it half built only to discover you overlooked the 220k resistors, or you got the wrong tube sockets. On your own, you have to think of every part you will need. That takes time and multiple shipping fees. Maybe all from one source, but likely from multiple sources. The downside is you have to find each part and order it from somewhere. We have the parts.If the kit to you is just a box of parts, then you can probably save money buying loose parts.
