I used an aluminum case (160mm(D) x85mm(H) x 350mm(W)) and drilled and hacked the right holes into it. It can cost expensive, especially when shipping internationally, or when building a chassis can be difficult to do right and avoid mistakes and potholes. My Marshall DSL20 is picking up dust now. Surprisingly good sounding amp when built. It’s got a great clean tone, and gets very loud when you crank it up! I think this kit is a very good value for the money, and a fun build. I contacted KLD about that, and they were very quick to get back to me about this issue - support was excellent!! Only one minor issue with some power tube resonance in the tri-ode mode when I first turned it on, but that went away when I set the bias pot on the component PCB. Needed the recommended steel chassis from the guys on eBay (in the US), and that came pretty quick, but I had to drill some holes to get it to work (component board PCB holes did not line up, no mount spot for output transformer, and no hole for effects-loop jack). It was my first tube amp project, and it came out great! Very nice clean tone, and tons of gain! For such a cheap kit, it has a lot of features, like a low-power ‘tri-ode’ mode, treble-mid-bass tone stack, separate gain, volume, and ‘presence’ controls, and a built in effects loop - which is done in a single jack.
You could probably built it in a few hours if you dedicated the time, but I built it over a few days to prolong the experience. Documentation is mostly very good, and I spent a few weeks studying the schematic and layout diagrams before I fired up my iron! There is a procedure on the web-site that I found after I was ready for testing (oops), but that is marginally helpful. They put pretty big blobs of solder on the connection points, so you just need to get those flowing, and shove in your wires - not too bad! Most connection points are to the component PCB, and just a few shielded-wire signal connections to the front-panel control board. You need to supply hook-up wire, the chassis, the tubes (3x AX7 and 2x 6L6, or similar), and a cab! Some electronics know-how is required, and don’t go near those caps when it’s on, close to 400VDC! You need to mechanically assemble the components to the chassis (not supplied), and then re-solder the connections to/from the PCBs. The ‘kit’ is two PCBs (one is the component board, and the other is front-panel controls), two decent & beefy transformers (line input power, and high-power audio output), and some miscellaneous HW (like some wires, some resistors, knobs, switches, tube mounts, and 1/4” jacks). Be sure to watch part two to learn about how you can use AmpKit to record both the dry and processed signals from your guitar.This is a very fun some-what ‘pre-built’ tube amplifier kit.

If you have or are considering either, feel free to comment. Below is the new AmpliTube promo vid followed by a review on AmpKit by BigGeekReviews. That said, you can obviously use them with your synths. I've been skipping the two as this site is about synths and everything I've seen on the two is centered around guitars.
