Hello folks , 1st post here . I had the great pleasure of purchasing a Rocket build from a member here last night , perhaps he'll chime in but he dropped so much info and names on me that I managed to forget most of it . Please take a look at my new baby here and let me know your thoughts . If you can place the cabinet maker and other things familiar please let me know . I do recall him saying that he built it and it was one of the first "group buys" for the Rockets if that helps . I was also wondering about the fuse , it has a 3 amp in it and wanted to confirm that was correct . It sounds amazing ! Cheers , Scott , *waves*
That looks like a nice build. Killer cab to boot.
RJ's chassis and board by the looks of it. I am sure it sounds as good as it looks.
I would draw your attention to the power tubes cathode setup. The cap is seated directly over the resistor which is not ideal. It might be well spaced off the resistor but it is hard to tell. You might want to consider moving it to one side which will reduce the heat load on the capacitor and likely prolong its life.
Check the layout in the files section if it is not clear.

Hey Thanks , I'll get a better pic and see what's up with that , to be clear you mean the cap to the left of the power tube sockets , what looks like it's sitting on the gold colored resistor ?
Thank you guys for the info , what do you think about the fuse , 2 or 3 amp ? It's not labeled yet on tha back but I have a p-touch and I'll get on it tomorrow .

that is my build
the cap is spaced above the resistor but when the chassis is upright it is under the resistor while the resistor in turn is mounted against the
chassis
I figured heat rises so it would go up into the chassis and away
from the cap
Hey Thanks Dan ! Thanks for passing on the fellas names to me as well , "aka Distortion" did the box and "RJ guitars" plate and guts IIRC . I'll get some 2 amp fuses for it as well , Cheers

At this point I'd probably have to split them to get them into place , is that a viable option ?
