Anything's possible. If I had my caps I'd have it up and running today. :no:
 
Awesome. You are moving with this thing! Hope those caps arrive soon :)
 
Do you have a variac to form the caps, or will you be using the current-limiting resistor method?
 
Have to give props where props are due. Really nice wiring job!
 
I got her all together and am have a few issues. Got to do a little detective work. :lol: :LOL: The layout that comes with the amp is a little off the traditional Marshall layout so I have some hurdles to jump. :doh:
 
The sweaty brow, the trembling hands, the knotted pit of the stomach, the worry of electrical fire or explosion - I am certain all of these went through your mind when you fired that baby up.

Keep us posted, this is awesome.... And I think you've created a movement of a bunch of "DIY"ers here by your pics and posts alone :thumbsup:

First off I missed a jumper wire on the board. :doh: :lol: :LOL:
 
Hey, at least it was nothing major.
It's always nice when it turns out to be an easy fix. :thumbsup:

Now how about some clips!
 
Dude, that is very clean work!
Can't wait to hear your clips! :rock: :rock:
