Wyatt,
          Oh yes ! i took a look thanks thats great , i must get Gerald webers book too.

wyatt, thanks a lot for taking the time to reply i really appreciate it , i'll have a good look at it all and post how i get on with it .   

Hello ,
         Could someone help please . I have pne of nik's Vchamp kit and want to bypass the tonestack , anyone got a schamatic i could use ?
Out of curiosity I'll try a choke in it at some point too .
I'm 46 with 2 children and one arriving anytime now , so i will be taking particular notice of all the good safety advice , of which i've had a lot hehe I'm not impatient by nature and being an ex (thankfully for me) banking software programmmer i can work methodically.
I'm a luthier now , but a novice finger burner (studying hard though can follow a schematic reasonably well now ) but my little brother is an electronic engineer graduate , he'll keep an eye on me .
Just a liitle extra note . I haven't had such a mix fun , curiosity , determination and excitment since i built my first guitar at 16 . I bet this isn't curable is it ? Mark

That looks really really nice good job ! Thanks for the faceplate suppliers name , i'll get one of those for my amp .
I've just received the same ceriatone kit .
Can i ask a favour  ? could you let me/us see your schematic for the tonestack bypass please ?
