Follow along as I build a Ceriatone Son of Yeti lunchbox amp. Since its a hot-rodded Marshall type, I guess I'll put it here...

Those tube sockets are interesting! Can one order those outside of Ceriatone?

Rock on, sir.

Those sockets are not from Ceriatone. I decided to go with teflon sockets for this amp.

My kit didn't come with those kind of sockets, I have Beldons

Here's a link for the sockets...http://www.thetubestore.com/Parts-Acces ... be-Sockets

I got them a lot cheaper on ebay, though.

$120 for a set of tube sockets! Wowzers.

Started filling the board...I used a lot of RN65's from my junk box because I like them.
