Well, here's the result of my attempt at a "everything on a single turret board" style build. Overall, I'm pleased with it. I really like the fact that there isn't a single wire run under the board. I got a bit sloppy in some spots...the layout evolved as I progressed.
Sound-wise, I'm very pleased. Almost no hum to speak of. The amp has some serious punch, yet it retains a nice smoothness. I used RJ's Pacific PT and the Pacific dynaco variant OT. Very nice transformers...I'm sold! A BIG thanks to all of you on TAG that developed this reverb circuit! It is great!...perfect for the rocket!

Re: Single turret board rocket reverb build
Nice work... thanks for posting. Which reverb tank did you use?
Good, Fast, or Cheap -- Pick two...

Re: Single turret board rocket reverb build
Nice work. Is that one of rj's chassis or seaside chassis?
Re: Single turret board rocket reverb build
Thanks, guys!
That seems to be the question, RJ. I first tried a huge long decay unit and experienced some serious "farting out" at higher volumes and higher verb settings. The client is trying a medium tank and is supposed to report back the results. I suspect that we'll end up using roughly the same spec tank that you guys did.
The chassis is one that I got from a seller on ebay....goes by the name of fiddlehead5. This is the first chassis that I had laser cut. I drew a vector art file using InDesign. It took forever! I swore I would never try that again!...but I recently got an order for an octal version of the amp and with a few minor changes, I'm good to go! That will be nice...
The chassis fits nicely in a BF style cab.
