Although I own a KAT Deacy amplifier replica, I built my own DIY Deacy amp replica over winter 2022/23 using a circuit board kit by Knight Audio Technologies (KAT), salvaged 1960s vintage ELAC loudspeaker and tweeter units and a DIY veneered chipboard cabinet.

I have built my own Brian May Red Special guitar and own a replica KAT Brian May stage rig and other Brian May guitars and musical equipment. You can find out more about them at my website: https://dsgb.net
