That's a really clean build.  I like it.  I really like those tags on the PT - I hate dealing with stock leads from PT's.

Is that solid core on the heaters, or is that also PTFE?  I've found that solid core tends to stay put really nicely on the heaters, but can be a bear to move around on the signal wires, myself.

Weathered: It's all ptfe which stays where you put it! My fear of solid core is that it can break more easily than stranded. I built the amp to be NYC tough so it can withstand bumps and jolts when dragging it around...

Kitarist: I have been doing electronics stuff for a while but started building early this year. I just finished number 4! Thanks man!

Joe,

Stellar looking build.  I looked at your site and it's a great reference for new builders.  There is a lot of what to do and more impotantly what not to do.....lol....with lead dress.  A little trouble shooting is always frustrating but makes for great lessons.   What are your thoughts on the tone and feel of this amp with all those Dales in there?

Chris:
So far so good with the Dales! A lot of people say that metal films sound cold and a lot of people say it doesn't matter. I figured that Mojave is using metal films and their amps sound amazing, so I gave it a shot. I compared the dale resistor amp to the second rachelle I built (my personal amp) with all of the Riken overpriced resistors in there and I honestly can't tell the difference. I think the main tone items are the Merc Mag OT and the Sozo caps. I am going to be using the Dales from here on out....

Kitarist: Thanks for more nice words!

Yes, where are getting your Dales from?  My suppliers over here have been out of stock for months and I need some.
