Re: work check and grounding advice
Would you recommend that I change the ground point for the PA cathode, then bolt the buss at the input end? I'd like to have an amp with low noise if possible.

Re: View Before You Die
How bout this one? Especially Tal Wilkenfeld, the 20 something bass player.

Re: work check and grounding advice
I'll cut a bigger piece of G-10 so there's a little bigger foot print to work with (and room for chassis bolts), then spin the board 90% (great idea). I have one more layout idea I'd like to run by you tomorrow. I'll take a couple of photos for comparison. Then I think I'll be ready to put it togeth...

Re: work check and grounding advice
P.S. I have some bigger sheets of 1/8th inch G-10/FR-4 Garolite left over, so I can make a larger base for the caps. I'll go ahead with that, mount the caps, put it on stand-offs, then see where I'm at. Still need to find a cool piece of wood for the fave plate. Must be something lying around the sh...

Re: work check and grounding advice
Thank you both for the advice. I'll have a look at the links and figure it out. I'll keep you posted on my progress, although it will be slow, mostly because of a busy work schedule.

Re: work check and grounding advice
Unless there's a reason to go for the 80uf/47uf, with 3 X 20uf configuration, I'm going to use two Garolite shelves with 3 X 47uf on the bottom, and 3 X 20uf on the top, as seen in the layout diagrams. Seems pretty straight forward. I found the 20uf Mallorys for a decent price (around $11 each) but ...

Re: work check and grounding advice
Thank you Mark for having a look, and Yup, those wires will be grounded somewhere, although I haven't decided where that point will be yet. Just got home from work. Later this eve I'll take some pics of the E-cap selection I have, and the loaded board. I'd like some help with E-cap lay-out as I've s...

work check and grounding advice
Here's a Rocket Reverb combo in progress. It's a Watts Tube Audio chassis, with parts collected from the Rocket BOM and from the "add a reverb" post. If anyone is up for checking my work, I'd appreciate it (I'm pretty new at amp building). Especially the reverb section, as it will get buried when th...

Re: new Rocket Reverb project
Sorry about that combo omission. The chassis is from Watts Tube Audio. .090 aluminum. 2 1/2" X 8" X 17 1/2". On sale this summer for $36. Great deal if you don't mind drilling holes... which I don't. Actually I'll interpret your advice as "do what you need to do within reason" which I think is good ...

Re: new Rocket Reverb project
Forgot to mention that my project is going to be a combo as well. A 1X12.

Re: new Rocket Reverb project
Thanks Mark. Always good to start with the tried and true, then jump off from there when you have a better idea of what's going on.

new Rocket Reverb project
Although I’ve been visiting this site daily for many months, this will be my first post. I’ll offer a brief introduction before asking my first (of probably many) question about my upcoming Rocket Reverb build . Skip this intro and go straight to the question if your not up for a paragraph of drivel...
