Is the Marshall choke you have there a 3H, 100 Ohm resistance thing?
thanks UHP,still trying to build one that looks as nice as yours :evil:
the choke is 5h ,115 ohm it's from magnetic components this is the second set of tranny's that I have used from them and have been really pleased with the product and their customer service ,responded quickly to my e-mails
Nah, you did awesome! Very nicely drawn PS PCB too. I can't see from the pics but is your relay PT 12VCT?

Seems a lot of people are digging those magnetic components xformers. They seem to be stricking a nice balance between quality and pricepoint. Heck, they've been around since 43', must be doing something right!
the relay supply transformer is a 12vct the standard radio shack variety,
up until the last two builds all of my amps used heyboers but it's good to have another readily available option,i still like the heyboers

Where did you get the faceplate?
thanks,I got em' made at a local sign shop
Very cool, what is that material?

Is it a sticker of some sort, stuck to the chassis? Or is it plexi/metal?

I only ask because my Ceriatone will be here soon, and I hate the "His Royal Majesty" logo on those amps. I'm wanting to replace the plexi faceplate that comes on the Ceriatones with a new metal or plexi plate with no logo at all.

Which chassis is that. What I mean is how did you get one without the PT cutout?
I made it ,well i cut it out then a friend of mine who has a machine/sheetmetal shop did the bends and I welded the ends.the mounting brackets I turned on my lathe from 1 inch stock and the faceplates are printed vinyl ,man I would rather buy any day, PITA and more expensive to diy in this case ,what the faceplates cost me about made me faint.

Very Nice Build. :D I thought of using vinyl myself but was worried the adhesive might not like the heat from the chassis. How is yours working out? Anything to worry about? Also, any chance of a sound clip?
