It looks like a rats nest right now, but it will clean up...
I'm making so many mods as I build this thing which means I have to slow down and plan ahead...
LarMar PPIMV, Metroloop, HBE clipper... I'm adding all this stuff in and I'm running out of room...
This is a complex little amp and there are SO MANY wires yet to hook up...

Well, as it turns out.... Since I didn't use the Ceriatone power transformer, I have to re-engineer
the power supply. The stock transformer has a much lower secondary voltage, no center tap and the
board is set up as a full wave bridge. It also has a bias winding and my Classic tone does not...

After some thought, poking around on the net and getting my thoughts confirmed at The Amp Garage
I found a way forward...I can remove a couple of diodes, use the center tap and turn it onto a normal
2 phase rectifier. Tap the bias supply from the HV and scale up a resistor to match. In other words...
Just make it look like a normal Marshall supply....

More work... LOL
