Very nice cosmetics, Gary. But now you've mentioned the boards, I want to see!

Nice work Gary! Does the Pcb save you a lot of work when building?
Nice to see the layout of components is recognisable compared to eyelet lay-out often seen in this part of the forum .
No push/pull pots?
Very compact and complete amp!

In the end, not really. Still have to measure, form install and solder every part lol.

Next gen of the boards I will modify slightly, splitting out a couple of grounds and other small tweaks.

But it does make the amps consistent. And that is the nice part.

With all the hardware and trannies in place it takes about 30 minutes to install the power supply board, maybe less and around 1 hour to install the main board between sipping on coffee and procrastinating.

Assembly time for the mainboard take about 1 hour or so, power supply takes about 2 hours and that includes all of the power supply wire to main board and ground.

Probably have 200 hours into the board design, but it was worth it in the end.

I offer them in a Sky, , 70's,HRM, DeLeo and other custom tunings.

I can also add a switchable FET preamp if the customer desires.
