Where's the tremolo? :o
Schematic is nice, but layout and schematic is really nice to get. I would have done a l-o on my own but it's a time saver. I'll have to redo it anyway after I add that tremolo that I'll never use. :o

Here's what I've been talking, based upon my last build, any suggestions about power tube values ? I'm thinking of 6L6GC or KT88 even, could be fun.

That reverb circuit oughta work fine in concept. The tone stack lossiness might cut the dry signal enough to ensure that the wet signal has a fighting chance; if it doesn't you can always attenuate the dry signal some more I guess.

I've got the simmilar circuit in 2x6L6 build, without reverb tone control and it does sound great, I did not found out any problems with balance wet/dry , I don't have extra gain stage before power tube, but I think it should have low gain to act a bit a like inverter stage (talking about gain), all in all I'm very pleased with amp (still fighting with some noises) and making SE version would be cool.

That's a lot to think about and I appreciate the input. If I do choose one, I think it'll be one with the ability to use a larger octal tube. Back for more research... Thanks.
