Here is a build I did for my son Ian. I like woodworking and electronics and my son. So I am hooked on projects like this.

Since this was my first build, I made the cab out of Birdseye maple with removable Ernie Ball Casters. The wood face can be removed by two screws from the inside and easily converted to a speaker cab only and have the amp removed to a Head Cab. I call this my Convertible Amp. It is quite heavy and will be working on this soon.

Nick was great help getting me through some noise issues, that resulted in buffering the tubeworks reverb we had connected with a Klienulator.

Tubes - Started with all JJ , changed the EF86 out to a Dario Miniwatt, and made a world of difference.

Nick is the best in the best in the biz. Does he ever sleep. Evan when I sent e-mails in the middle of his night , I got an instant reply.

Wow!!!
Very nice.   Well Done.
Where is the red wire going to from the speaker jack?
And I am trusting you to be honest with me on this next one..........Do you hear a difference if you change the phase while your playing?   I have read many threads about the "polarity" switch.   Strong opinions on both sides.
Thank You

Wow,

You caught that. The red wire fell off the speaker and is hanging out by itself. You reminded me of the dreaded morning where it worked the night before and not the next day. I just had to squeeze the spade lug to made it a tighter fit.

The phase switch does work, but to me just does not sound natural.

Do yourself and your OT a favour, solder those speaker cables to the speaker. I very nearly damaged my amp when one vibrated off. I was able to turn the amp off quite quickly in order to investigate further. I'm not sure how long you've got with no load attached but I wouldn't want to test it!

Thanks, Will do.

I am enjoying the learning process. I am now understanding the difference in details from good tone to great tone, and reliability. I would really appreciate seeing a bulleted list of lessons learned (or Do's and Dont's) to help clean up my projects and notice the difference. There is so much knowledge and so little time.
