I've built a half dozen Fender Bassmans and a few Fender Super amps over the years. I thought the article would be about this kind of amp building, but evidently not many hacker news readers play blues harp through a tube amp.
Low tech tube amps are quite easy to build, although they cost a few hundred because the transformers, chassis and tubes can be pricey and the cabs and speakers aren't cheap. The results are great, though, and I'd say go for it if you are thinking about trying.
Get everything you need from Tubes and More dot com or eBay.
