The next part in my amp build.This may well end up being one of the hardest parts for me because I'm color defecient (so the military says). On those resistors there are reds, greens, browns, violets and all of those other colors that look the same to me.

I had to have my wife help me see the colors.As a result, I have started labeling my storage bin with the various caps/resistors for future builds. Then as I buy some I'll just put them in the appropriate bin.In the pics you can see that I moved my vol/tone pots to the outside of the amp. I did this to make soldering easier. I imagine those who build a lot of amps probably has a jig.

1. I started with the input jacks. Wire all the connects between the two jacks. In this amp the FET input jack has 6 lugs whereas the normal input has only 4.

Some of the resistors are not soldered just wrapped around the connection point. This is done because there are other wires to be connected in the same place - no need to solder twice.

2. Oddly, I then went to the far left pot that gets a resistor. In this case it happens to be a 500k bass control. The 10k connects to the left lug on the pot and to the brass buss bar. The other orange resistor connects between the outside lugs on the same control.The I worked left to righ for the other caps/resistors in the tone stack.

Next, I'll move the controls back inside the chassis and begin making some ground connections and other connections that go to the other side of the chassis into the poweramp in and preamp out (effects loop).
