Finally had some decent weather to build the cabinet for this amp. Aside from muffing the amp panel cut out a bit, i'm very proud with how it came out. Speaker is a 12" WGS veteran 30 that was supposed to go in another build, but works great.

I only did three mods. Added a screen resistor, relocated the output jack, and re-wired the switch so the mains hits the fuse first. I also used instrument cable to connect the 12AX7 to the volume pot. The response and full-sounding resonance from such a small amp is incredible. I'm getting a bit of ground hum, but it's otherwise silent. It really is a joy to play.ImageImageImage

P.S. Better finish that kitchen/eating area floor before your wife/significant other gets on your case! I can hear it now: "You waste your time building that $&@#!*&? amp while our kitchen looks like a war zone!!" :wink:

Thanks for the kind words guys! HA that's actually my parent's house. I don't have the storage for shop tools at my apartment. If that were my house i'd be dead meat.
