Here are some more pictures. Done all this in 2 weekends including making the PC boards. Used the laser transfer method and concrete cleaner and hydrogen peroxide to etch them. I used Kodak photo paper. Thanks goes out to Thomas Jeppesen for giving me the layout. Hope to have it finished soon. Waiting on more parts to come in. I will be building the cabnet next week.

That is unbelievable. The work you're putting into that is astounding. Maybe it isn't as hard as it looks, but man...that looks intense!

Looks great. My boy wanted to build a Rectifier, but I was leaning towards a 50 watt SLO because there are turret board layouts. I can't wait to hear your build.

yes I am doing the switching for all three channels, solo, and effects loop. I have the front and rear labeling on it now. I used adobe print shop to lay it out with pictures of emblems. I printed them out on a laser printer and glued them on. pictures to follow when it get time. I have the cabnet almost ready to tolex. Still need to find some aluminume with slots for top vent and insert in the front plate. I have 3- 100 watt power transformers from organs I could use. They don't have the 60VAC tap for +15V and - voltage for bias witch is moddified for indivisul adjustment. I could figure the curren the circuits will take and use a resistor and zener to pre condition a tap off of one side of the high voltage. Switching works off of + and _ 3 volts derived from 6VAC. Witch should I use? A 360vac-0ac-360vac, 3.5vac-0-3.5vac, 5vac or a 330-0-330, 3.3-0-3.3, 5 or a 400-0-400, 3.2-0-3.2 ? I know I cant spell but don't wan't to spend time looking up words lol. Got a amp to build.
