Finally built the FM 50 modern eagle , being my first amp build i couldn't have done it with out the help of this forum, my thanks to everyone.  Smiley
The only problem i had was upon turning the amp on there was no sound coming forth, checked all the wiring and solder joints no problem there,
 turned out i had orientated one of the relays around the wrong way. What a great amp ! just love it
 
  This amp building caper is addictive, enjoyable and very satisfying, i need to build another one I'm thinking maybe an overtone 100 special or a bluesbreaker
  something with different tone to the FM 50 Me. Any suggestions out there anyone !
 
  I'm thinking of building my own boards next time just for the fun of it and order the trannies from Nick as they are expensive in Australia and the postage from
  Malaysia to Oz is not to bad .
  Been looking at the ots  100 special layout the board [power] next to the main transformer calls for 2/ 200uf 300 caps 2/ 22uf 500v and 1/22uf 450v
  Looking at other gut shots of the ots 100 the same board has different cap values 2/ 200uf 350v  2/20uf 600v and 1/22uf 450v . 
  As my theory knowledge is not that great at the moment can someone help with which way to go with those cap values are they that critical.
  Thanks in advance

If you want something completely different but still D-style, go for Bluesmaster.

Great suggestion Micinku i was thinking along those lines [ Bluesmaster not Bluesbreaker ]  i think the BM will be my next amp build, the more i read here the better they are sounding. I have an early F series strat and  ES 335 from what i read it should offer versatility for both those guitars.
The seed has been planted ! I'm 99% sure the Blusmaster is the way to go.

After doing a search on the forum i believe the caps i mentioned are filter caps,from what i can gather  some folk change them to tighten up the bass.
I'll stick to the layout cap values for starters.
