TM, you have to download the pic from dropbox.

Only two 6v6 were shown. As we know, 4 x 6v6's are killer... More crisp, clear and don't smear like 2 x 6v6's do.... Matt, I would recommend you consider 4 x 6v6, but then your smaller chassis goes out the window..
Sorry totally missed this post, how about the 2x 6L6 format? The difference in volume would be fairly negligible i guess? I actually found gut shots of the TR amps on a website Proguitar.de So i'm getting a bit of a feel for the layout of these small amps.
Does anyone know the exact dimensions of these chassis? I'll probably have to get one fabricated from a uk supplier, I believe they're as deep as Dumble chassis, 8" and they look to be about a 14" wide,
not sure about depth, perhaps 2"?

To figure out dimensions, look at a known component like a resistor or whatever and use that to scale the chassis.

Cheers for the tip Structo, I'm pretty sure the chassis is 14"x8"x2".
What are your thoughts on the schematic?

I would use the D'lite layout as it is a tried and true build.

D'lite chassis are 17 x 8 x 2.5 inches.

I built one in a Princeton type chassis
