She looks great, nice project as usual.

The heaters are that relaxed mode, so no issues there? Have you moved away from the tight twist variant for all your builds?

Yeah, twisting heater wires together is a time waster for me. Once I figured out where hum comes from (ground scheme, PT vs OT orientation, poor lead dress), I realized heater dress matters much less.

I like how you smoke-bursted the logo on your front panel, it looks great.

Beautiful as always! Thanks for sharing.
I have done my heater wires this way as well on a few builds and no difference in noise.
I had a Dr Z Maz amp on the bench a while ago and the heaters were also done this way.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I saw you used those special preamp boards that you made with Lou on this build.
I have used them on several builds , one an Overdrive Special and one an Overdrive Reverb and they work great!

Thanks guys!

You mean the noval socket adapters? Yes! I love them!

[Guy77]

Yes those Noval sockets work great!
They are a time saver too.

I just bought a bunch from Lou to last me the year!
