It is no more a supplier of an amp than is say, Rat Shack, or AES, or Mouser, or... It is simply providing a grouping of parts that a customer can make into an amp, a broach, a hat, etc. In effect, the customer is the manufacturer, and the customer is the one responsible for how those parts might be assembled.
In the case of Doberman Amps (Chris Hurley), this was in fact the route they were advised to take by their lawyer.
yes and makes the most sense.. the problem with providing a manual is you are essentially providing a documented training course on building that specific amp.


For your own amps, If you are in the US; would be considered a "competent” person for electrical work; build to a very high standard and take pictures/document what you have built, and make sure there is no way anybody could shock themselves on your amp ever.
Then you will probably be fine.

But for kit suppliers to try and instruct somebody to do this is impractical/impossible
