Do or do not, there is no try

Nice work.
One small point: the heater supply is AC and the cabling needs to be as far away as possible to the signal cables. In your pic above, I would get those 'blue' twisted cables into the angle at the back of the chassis and keep them there with a spot of glue. The gain structure might be different for a guitar amp but most guitar amps, the point to point wired ones, keep the heater wiring well out of the way.
Neat work, looking forward to the build.

It's OK, if there is no bread I will eat cake.

Good stuff and good luck. I have a friend building a tube amp at the moment (though he has been at it for the last few years :-) ) - I'll show him your progress to try get him energized

That's a fair point. Was thinking about it but at the time I didn't have enough wire length to do it this way.Rocker wrote:Nice work.

I'll try the amp like this (should be ok) and if a hum, I'll rewire the heater [emoji39]
