Thanks for wording it properly, Chris. It's been a long 3 days and i really haven't slept much  : 

Ok guys, just posting up date on this

Received the cab and amp yesterday and I must say, the customer service and communication I've had from Nik, Lin and Sang has been amazing throughout this ordeal.

Amp looks great and all mods were done as per my specs. The amp itself isn't too difficult to dial in the cleans, but the OD is tricky at the moment. Hard to juggle volume and OD levels at present.

Right now, the OD sounds quite underwhelming, but I'm burning it in for the next day or so and hopefully the OD will be a little more crisp and dumble like. The cleans are quite darker than expected, because reading reviews and watching clips gave me the impression it would be on the brighter side, but this is easily remedied with the bright switches on either the amp or clator.

Ive only managed to play the amp through my strat ultra and yet to tried it with the gibson lp 59 yet, but I think it needs time for the amp to burn in, and also time breaking in the speakers.....

Just my initial impressions on the amp thus far.... I can tell you there is going to be a lot of time spent of tweaking her

Changed out the cap and it all sounds good. Thanks for the help.

How about this one...

A special request from Nik to make a 'Slow dancing in a burning room' clips.

Fender Strat > Boss Chromatic Tuner > Boss Ru-3 Loop station > SSS

There are two clips in this video.

No 1. was shot with iPhone 4s camera.

No 2. Then tried to redo again with microphone.

I only had the one mic at the time but it really doesn't capture the tone of this amp. There is a certain magic to these beauties that despite my best efforts - i couldn't get recorded.

If i had to describe it, i would say its like a two rock sterling sig, but a bit more raw.

One thing to note on JM's tone is that his tone is a combination of an SSS and his Sig amp, which is almost the same except with a darker voicing. it is the combination of the two that make his sound... that and almost 2 decades of practice!!!!

anyway, i only did one take on these (didnt have time to warm up or anything) but it should help you get an idea of the sound at least... just try ignore the playing haha

Update
Swapped out the tube for a Raytheon BP (Probably a waste of a good vintage tube) but it sounds much better. Might just replace the cap anyway.

I got to check it out tonight and there is quite a bit of noise when using it. Coming out of the recovery stage. Noise varies with pot position and the bright switch actually reduces the noise. So I'll probably change out the cap.

Thank you for your replies. I do have a schematic, somewhere. I will find it check the voltages and report back. What a great way to learn! Thanks again!

Nothing you would probably remember, just a bunch of bands of drunken college kids that played at Murphs and the Depot. 
I did know the guys in Alaska, who were a great band.  Jeff G taught guitar at Campbell's and I still hear from Eric S (keys).  I learned alot sitting in with the various tues/wed/thurs night things Eric put together and Jeff was a monster player who you could learn a lot from just watching.

I came out with a degree in psych, but really just played guitar all the time. I heard YCP entrance standards have been raised as well as academic rigor, which is probably for the best.  I got there in 1989, and it was a Rolling Stone top party school in 1988.  There were things that happened that I would not believe if I hadn't seen them myself.  I did have a great time and came out relatively unscathed.
