I like trouble, I use Inkscape and Scribus. Might not be the best but it's free. There are tutorials on how to use them somewhere around this forum. As for learning how to do things with inkscape, google can help. I also start with the drill template on new layouts. At some point, I reuse old...

Yup, I've been correcting code at the Christmas party with few other programmers.

Well, for sure V2A is dead ... so that explains the loss of signal. I wonder if that tube was already bad from the start as the amp never had a lot of volume, like even for a tiny basement amp. I'm waiting on two replacement 12AX7 to try one in V1 also. Voltages looked mostly spot-on, I'll see...

Same thing happens to me, I was wondering if my iron might be too hot and that would cause the silkscreen to flake when using the toothbrush...

Are they not already ?

Funny they kept that long ...

You should see the tip on my cheap weller... really not ideal, but I'm used to work with it. But I take good note.

I had my eye for some time on the WE1010NA on Amazon, it sometimes sell for 155CAD. I'm waiting for it to go under 150, but I might be too optimistic.

Yup... it's called............ Amazon ;)

A lot of the solder joints looks cold, some are ball shaped. A good reflow could help. But there are also a few traces exposed, make sure those are not making any unwanted connections.

Mostly connectors...

Haha... not much guts in there, like litterally 6 components including the meter ... :ROFLMAO: but I'll try to grab one later or tomorrow.

I really slowed on the builds. I have a curds and whey on the bench that only needs to be wired, wires are already cut. I also have a muffler, kewpie, eq anyone and a cobalt (ala Chuck) that had all the resistors put in and I just soldered those. I wanted to complete something this week-end...

Not sure about the mpsa18, but you definitely should get the 5088, they are used in so many builds...

C9 !!! Lol

Such a beauty !

That's the plan, just not a priority right now. I've slowed a lot. I have 4 boards on the bench with resistors waiting to be soldered. It's just been a busy summer! I already have a mapping of what voltages to expect at every point, just need to take the time to do this. I'll sure let you all...

Bad news is something is wrong with this build. At first I said it was really not powerful for the supposed wattage compared to my wife ac4 playing at 1/4W... but now it's silent. I can get a signal if I use a preamp pedal in the fx return jack but thats about it. I need to take some voltage...

The transformer sits on top of the enclosure. There is only two holes with rubber grommets for the wires to go in the enclosure and four small holes to screw it on. Yae, my step drill was enough fot the valves. I think that enclosure is aluminum, so drilling was easy, for the plug i drilled a...

Last week I was in Tuscany, such beautiful landscapes. We had a great time.
