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.

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.

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.
