Did you use audio or linear taper pots for the OD?

Update

Everything is working now! Both issues were operator error. FET board was a resistor soldered into the wrong spot. The Gain issue was never an issue. I was using the Overdrive Drive and Volume controls without using the first volume control. They work together, not independently.

Time to build a Cab for the head and a speaker box!

What type of cable are you guys using for the foot switch. The cable in my 3 switch Marshall footswitch only has four wires and not 5.

I use van Damme star quad.

You can use the 4 wire cable to operate three switches and their leds.
Check attached file.

It looks like that is only 4 wires as well, do you use the shield for one of the connections?

Have you played through the amp yet?

The Bluesmaster tone stack does lose a lot of signal, thus the mega gain when the tone controls are lifted.

It's still very loud!!!!!

I've built three Joey Landreth used my first one and still says(in private) it's the best amp he's ever played.
