You can build a valve caster instead.  It will give you that same "tubishness" (I say tubish rather than tubey becasue low-voltage tubes don't really give you that "tube" sound) as the marshall, but it's verified, and there's a ton of info on it here.  I remember someone mentioning building this a while back and having 60 cycle hum issues.

Why not try a Pepper Shredder or Vanilla Overdrive: http://www.tube-town.net/diy/doityourself.html

.....or a PentaDriver: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=70533.0
