Building AC-10 clone

[BlueX]

Some pics of the work so far. Changes compared to V-1-3 schematics:
- No C1 cap at power intake
- Fixed 230V PT primary
- Fuses added (mains, pilot lamp, and B+)
- "Marshall style" High/Low inputs with 68k grid stoppers

Using a "Merlin style" ground scheme.

Looks good! I like the organized labeling on the inside and have thought of doing that a few times - when I’m halfway through assembly and everything’s in the way, lol.

Interesting build.

Amps ready, and everything works (except I need to reverse the tone control). Sounds good, without noise or interference. Will give the amp some playing time before any fine-tuning (like bias resistor). Seems like this layout works well.
