Got all the wires to all the pots, sockets, switches and jacks completed. Tonight we put in the standoffs and set the board in. Should take about an hour to wire up everything to the board. Before I do that though I plan to zip tie and shrink tube some wires to make it much neater in there. I have been shortening the wires as I have been soldering them. The shorter the wire, the less the noise.
Did order my 2 .01uf (10nf) 400v caps that were missing and a black Ampeg style handle for the cab. We shall see how it all works out....caps should be here by thursday...I am off the 4th...sounds like the 4th is going to be a day for fireworks..hopefully not from the trannys in my amp.
Here also is some non earth shattering news about the amp. Yes it is an 18 watter...but I have to have a name for what I call it. Instead of a Lite IIb....it shall bear a name plate with the name of "Hamlet".... IIb or not IIb...that was the question...what to build ...since I am a Shakespeare fan...and as the question was put in the play....be true to yourself...and have a nice day.
