This was a busy place in years gone by.
Is no one building, fixing, modifying amps these days?

Perhaps the source is the issue, I wonder if people think I am a bone head and chose not to reply.

I don't think that's it. As for me, I'm not an amp builder or fixer so I have nothing to add.

This is quite the endeavor! I’m interested in how it turns out.

Should be fine, moving the main caps to the outside of the chassis ala Fender will make things much easier.
Hartley squished everything into the inside of the chassis requiring stacked daughter boards, was tough to work on and the Molex connectors were intermittent.
Call me silly, but I like doing this stuff, no way anyone can pay for all the labor but when I have to mic up the amp in the future, it will sound much better which makes my job easier.

That looks like nice clean work. I just completed a scratch build yesterday. I know modern amps are cool an' all (I have a few and love 'em), but there is just something very satisfying about playing guitar through a devilbox you made yourself, and you're ordering all the electrons to do specific things, and they are complying...  |
