English is fine (me being non native speaker and even worse writer )!
Haven't tried that yet and I (would) concur that it doesn't do anything in a sense of NFB (but I think it still works as an output filter). However, I don't yet have the knowledge to confirm neither.
Anyway, I hope to have some time today evening to experiment more thoroughly.
Whatsoever amp sounds great to my ears and whatever mod I would do I will make sure it is switchable, so I can always go back and forth in a flip of a switch.
Alrighty - stupid mistake - flipped OT primaries and was creating positive feedback
Now works as expected - with current values of the resistors it is much quieter than without the NFB and frequency response, naturally, is different.
I wired it on a switch since it sounds great without the NFB as well.
I might play with the resistors (i.e. put a larger one) to decrease the volume loss and since I have few rotary switches around may wire few different capacitors to play with the frequencies.
Updated layout and thanks EaNot Made me read and learn some more. Great forum this is.

I have a Watts 17 1/2" chassis that I will try to stuff it in to. Might consider reverb and an effects loop as well. As with all my builds, it will take a while. Thanks again for the layout.

It is hard to resist what all this phone apps suggest
AWESOME ACOUSTIC MELODY MATE!!

Thanks
As for reverb, I was thinking of adding an FX loop and using the digital ones, which to my current experience, I find a bit more consistent.
However, in my next (planned) build I will do a tube one and will decide. It is a relatively easy mod.
15 and 1/2" chassis should be fine depending on the PT. Mine is quite large through hole lay down (on the wider side) type and would have been very tight in a smaller chassis.
Small Special, ala Synchu, started. I went with a 2.5" X 8" X 16" chassis. A bit of a bummer cuz now I have to build another cab (I have a combo cab that the 15" chassis fits in).
This is my first return to MC iron. I thought it was kind of light duty when I bought a set a year or two ago, but I see so many folks use, and like them, that I thought I'd try again. The price is also attractive. Dirty Dawg chassis.
Should I start another thread, or is it OK to camp out on Synchu's?

Here in Europe getting a different iron than Hammond is almost impossible (at least very expensive with shipping costs and import duties/VAT).
Or at least I don't know of any ClassicTone, Heyboer or Edcor distributors. Sowters are almost out of question price wise.
Otherwise, I think this topic is more than capable to host more than one build
