You have a mix of carbon comp and metal film (?). What looks like old mustard caps and sozo. Would you mind filling me in on where you think carbon comp makes a difference to the tone vs. modern. Same with caps.
Like CrazyNutz said, its a mix. Metal oxide in power rails and metal film or carbon film if its either in the bias supply or mounted on a socket. Not going to mount CC on a socket nor use it in the bias supply. The rest are CC and almost all are NOS Allen Bradley. The only non NOS CC I can remember is the 10k in the PI.You have a mix of carbon comp and metal film (?). What looks like old mustard caps and sozo.

You can totally do it. The older amps are super simple. But you're right about tweaking.God, I really envy you guys that can do these builds… I am tempted to sign up for some type of online course, not sure how much I could learn in my 50s…
Then again, with my crazy OCD, I would be tweaking 24/7 and never playing the thing
Thanks Tom!Fantastic work Matt!
