Is this amp going to have "Insane Rockstar Tones"?

I saw at least 40 amps this weekend at GC that have Insane Rockstar Tones while letting my 9yr old look for a new drum kit.

Sorry, but this amp is limited to Slut Banging Metal Tone. Please make a note of this...

I took the week off from work because I needed a vacation AND I wanted to finish my amp this week. I WILL finish the amp THIS WEEK, no matter what!

I have now got the entire amp done except for the front panel controls. Finished a bunch of stuff today, including the rest of the effects loop, the PPIMV and all the foot switching stuff. Also got all the relay power stuff done. On to some pics of the latest...

Here is the finished effects loop section:

Here is the fully wired PPIMV:

Here is all the foot switching wired up from all the relays as well as the relay power wiring. All the foot switching stuff is soldered into the XLR. I'll install the actual relays as soon as I have the front panel wired up:

and... obligatory shot of the entire guts at this point:

All that is left now is ~ 30 wires that need to be cut and soldered on the front panel and this baby is DONE! I expect two more sessions of 3 or 4 hours. (Every thing takes longer than I think it will! :doh:)

Thanks, Dan - it really isn't that hard to build it - it is much more difficult putting the layout design together...
