All good! But those chrome chassis straps are RUINING the amp. Black out.

Looks amazing, a bit different from my rats nest :D

Funny when I saw your cab I thought it was going to be like mine, Carbon Fiber tolex, but it's black tweed, looks quite similar in the pics.

Nice build.

Frankly speaking it's not a real black tweed, it's a yellow tweed painted black acrylic over the top and after that lacquered.

Well done! Congratulations on your build! There is nothing quite like flipping the switch and then basking in the glory of the sound of your efforts. That black chassis looks sharp.

Beautiful amp Colossal! How did you do the master volume? Did you do master volume type 3 from the TrainWreck pages?

Not my amp buddy! But it's a sweet build for sure and especially with that 335.

Yeah that picture with the 335 is killer. @Alextsayun please elaborate on the master volume if you will.

It's not 335, it's 330 :)
About master volume, from my perspective for Princeton better works this mod — PRE Phase Inverter Master Volume https://robrobinette.com/Generic_Tube_A ... ter_Volume
