First time posting pics, Thanks to this place, the people and all the great information!
If your wondering what the chip is on the top it’s to drive the Optocouplers for Ch switching.
The reverb is from the SSS.

What a cool amp! Congrats on this build. Love the finish on the head shell, really unique. Guts look super clean too. Would love to know how you implemented the reverb on your build. Always looking for new ideas.

Thanks! Well I was told it would be a hard thing to get it to fit.(It was...) Soo, I was able to pop two more tube holes where the relays should be and then drive transform right next to them top mount. I lot of messing with gains to get it to drive correctly. Goes from a little to way over the top. Would rather have too much reverb then not enough.
