Would just like to show off some pictures of my build.

My first amp i've built. No experience before apart from a few effects pedals.

Sounds great so far. only amp i had before was a egnater tweaker 15. This is a whole different beast altogether.

I build the cabinet up from spare planks i had from my house remodeling. it is walnut.

my carpentry is kinda basic, i used a template to cut the dovetails.

made the cabinet slightly larger so i could maybe put in a spring reverb eventually.

I also used TDS's OT and PT for the build.

more pics

I also swapped out the master volume for a law/mar type that i researched online.w

The OT shield i modified a little from Niks kit as i wanted a more compact look to it. Works well, no noise whatsoever.

Wow, very nice.

Much like you prior, I have only built a couple effects pedals, but not sure I could tackle a whole amp.  So, did it go fairly easy?  Were you able to check your work as you went along?

Building the amp wasn't difficult. Took me 3 weeks to do it. I did take my time, building it up
Portion by portion. I made a light bulb limiter to turn it on without any tubes in it. Thankfully everything worked first time. I did make sure all the solder joints were proper. And I did continuity tests with a dmm.

The only problem I had was I blew a fuse initially but I think it was because I was switching the hi lo power switch with the amp on.

If u need any help in your build I'd be glad to help.

Regards

Marc

I appreciate the response and the offer to help. 

Although building an amp is on my bucket list, I had better leave it to you pros for now.

Keep up the good work.
