I didn't realize I never got back to this thread.

I changed relay wiring and soldered the wires to the other side of the relay, all worked as should.

Put the amp in it's cabinet and having fun tube rolling. The clean channel is still not clean in spite of lowering voltage or using 12au7, 12ay7 or 5751 tubes.

Thanks, It sounds very good but the clean channel sounds like a very good dirty gain which I like but the idea is to have one clean channel.

I'll have to write down voltages to see where I have it now. I changed the dropping string many times try to get a clean tone.

I remodeled my work bench one more time since that photo.

But now I can't find anything!

As far as the clean channel not sounding clean, did you notice this when you built the one watt version?

Yes the 1 watt is the same but I intended that amp to remain stock as Mojo presented it.

The 50w version I tried to clean that channel up some.
