Haw! You think building amps can make you rich! Ah haw haw---erhm.

@frusciante89 : I sent you an email yesterday. Ran into trouble with this PCB. Hope you have your ears on!

I got this one as a compact backup meter, and it quickly became my #1:

I'm reusing the DV Mark chassis and iron, along with the Marshall PCB from Andrea to build out a "plexi".

Space constraints mean I have to lay the preamp tubes down, and fab a riser for the power tubes.

Welcome to TAG. You didn't mention whether you tested (or replaced) the 1K/5W screen resistors and 5K5 grid resistors, which are normally socket-mounted.

When I have tried stapling piping, my stapler wants to push the piping out of place. In other words, I can't shoot staples close enough to the piping to avoid pushing it out of place as I staple. Advice?

Loss of connection from tone stack to ground? PAB engaged?

Abstinence makes the fart grow stronger?

Anyway, yeah, building a one-off amp from a recipe is only the first step! There will always be tweaking after the build is completed, whether to meet the tastes of the builder or the client.

I got a good laugh because some of their photos are clearly off-the-shelf fuses with colorful stickers wrapped around them. Nice markup!

OMG, how I would LOVE to skip wiring the heaters.

That's awesome, Tony! Remind me how you're etching the aluminum enclosures?

By all means, choose a smaller bright cap!

Nice work!

There is no bias tap shown in your drawing.

I clearly have been buying the wrong kinds of fuses.

The copy is so informative! I learned fuses are directional! The have a burn-in period! They will elevate my gear to the next "class"!

So much more!!!
