The main thing is transformers: you will need a power transformer and a speaker transformer. If you have those then you can easily build a guitar amp. What are the other two valves?

You can make a really neat guitar amp from a single EL84 and a single 12AX7. Try www.ax84.com

I have also built several fender champ clones. This amp uses a 12AX7/ECC83 and a 6V6, and sounds awesome.
