Sergio, Love the etched boards looks great. On your volume loss filter switches
Replace the 270k resistor with a 2k7 or 2k2 that should do it. The resistor that connects the bass and
treble switch. That was the value used on 5,6,7,8 150 watt SSS.
Looks like a fixed bias on the power tubes ???

Steve. :D

Stunning work sir. You should be very proud of that craftsmanship. This is really making it tough to put off my SSS build any longer!

That's a very nice build, Sergio. Congratulations! We'd love to hear it.

BTW, can you update or post a schematic and/or layout that reflects what you built? It would be a worthy addition to the SSS info that was has been posted at TAG so far.

Hi , I haven't a program for drawing a layout or schematic , but I can say , I used the layout #0002 ,with some change.

omitted the bias pot
omitted the 470K res. to ground on the power tubes grids and changed grid res. from 1k5 to 2k2.
pay attention to the layout in the part of LNFB on V1b ,there is an error in ground wiring.
470Ohm screen res.
30uFx3 can cap.

Thanks Sergio! A few questions regarding the "accent" control. Any reason you went with a switch instead of a pot? I've seen various SSS builds that use either. Is it some sort of presense or cut control?
