I like your use of can caps. Makes for a cleaner layout. Novel use ofo the rocker switches too. Very nice cabinet and front panel.

Top notch stuff there guy . 8)

Lummox,

Great job and I like your creative approach to the task. The bonus in our field of endeavor is when they look as bitchin' as they sound. Will you be
listing the measured voltages when time permits? No one ever posts screen
shots of their scope measurements but we'd love the accumulated data.

thanxx for all your kind words, I love the cap cans they make thing so much simpler to wire i used jj's 40/20/20/20 and 32/32 the only other real departure was the use of a resistor in place of a choke ,I tried a choke in there after i built it but liked the resistor better for more breakup when cranked. my voltages ride about 20 volts higher than garys on the chart, Im a paint by numbers type-o guy I dont own a scope or nothin I build all my stuff out at the picknik table and the kitchen table on my burgerking tray work station.Mcgyver style yall would laugh your ass off if you saw it.the person who I should thank the most though is ken fisher. after 22+ years of playing and searching for sounds ,these amps have a very unique sound,so thank you ken for sharing your tone with the world.
