Is it possible you have the pot wired backwards, considering it is an audio taper pot?

This is the kind of lead dress that makes me want to get better. Absolutely beautiful!

The 5uf cathode bypass cap on V5B allows for quicker reaction of changing the speed of the trem effect, whereas the 25uf causes the change of the speed to react slower as you turn it.

Yeah, just noticed this on my parts order from them yesterday. It applied to the Yageo resistors and Panasonic ECQ caps.

A grid stopper in front of the first gainstage adds hiss. I prefer a 100pf from the anode to the cathode instead. Remember these amps were designed for high capacitance cables that lowers the treble peak of the pickups into the mids I had a 22K grid stopper on the first triode and had quite a bit o...

Yeah, that's Johnny. He's a local yokel, bit of a character.

First-time club: I pressed down with my thumb to make sure this tube was seated properly. It broke like the glass was made of sugar! It took two minutes for the white cloud to appear on the glass.

Double-check that fuse value.

Thought I would pass this along - I stumbled upon the 3 very informative Hiwatt DR-103 videos by Steve Fryette. They are pretty long but it was worth the time to study them. He tells of his favorite version of the last gain stage and DC coupled bias regulator triode. What is revealing is when he do...

Everything I have tried from Warehouse Guitar Speakers has been solid. I would suggest the G10C.

Also keep in mind, the 1 Meg grid leak resistor is 10 Meg in the Tweedle Dee.

Yeah, it's pics like that one that make me wanna build yet another amp
Looks fantastic!

I'm curious how you're going to label the faceplate. Love the curly maple!
