Ok Chris, follow up questions to be sure I understand.
First how am I connecting the bleeder resitor? From what to what here?
Second and if I understood correctly, I'm taking all the premap grounds and volume ground that you mentioned and starring them into one ground point using a terminal lug attached to the chassis next to the input jack an inch or so?
Ditto on the power
ghttp://www.buildyourownclone.com/board ... 1923rounds you mention but where would you mount that terminal lug?
When starring in an amp, are you taking the wires and twisting them all together to make one big fat wire and then solder at once onto the term lug or are you taking each wire wrapping each one onto the lug and then soldering in that fashion?
Connect the bleeder across the first filter cap. From the + to -. 220K 2W is fine.
Correct about preamp ground. Attach all the preamp ground on the turret board then bring a single wire to the terminal lug.
Power amp ground mount it somewhere between the turret board and the PT.
In regards to your last question, look at this layout

Notice how all the power amp grounds and the preamp grounds are connected together on the turret board then taken to the ground terminal. This keeps the layout clean and avoids excess wires and runs.
