A SSS Build

Looks fantastic!
How did the footswitchable FET come out? I'm working on a 2nd/3rd Gen right now using one of Erwin's chassis. This is the first time I'll be trying that.
I'm following Martin's diagram to a T but it's hard to test how it is working without everything else being completed. I did jumper in 120VAC to the Relay PT to test those connections. Relays received their voltages and the footswitches lit up as supposed to.

Thanks Matt J!

FET works as I was hoping-good. I just followed the same concept as the ODS's, 12 volt relays for the FET and Reverb. Biggest issue was fitting in the relay boards which actually wasn't too bad. Nice thing about using the ODS design is 12 volts is DC so I didn't need to worry about introducing additional 60hz noise source.

Sounds like you are coming along nicely with your build. For the relays verifying correct action of the contacts with a meter should be good enough for test purposes. Good luck and enjoy the build.

Looks great! Is that rosewood or cocobolo on the front fascia for the headcab?

Thanks!

Its Cocobolo brought to a high gloss.
