Very nice! Did you have the chassis built and boards done yourself, how did you go about doing this?

I designed the chassis and had a batch of them fabricated locally. And I designed the PCBs and had 'em made abroad.

these are killer amps. I ended up selling mine to fund a guitar and I regret it. That thing was everything I expected a Marshall to sound like (but they didnt). Nice to see you posting new work!

Very nice looking work.
I've always been curious: what is the advantage to radial caps? Is it just saving space? I find them annoying to replace, not that they'd need it any decade soon.

yeah, in fact I do offer these as kits (with instructions). I might have to get more chassis fabricated (but I do have one left).

axial caps and multi-section can caps are really a thing of the past that are used only for 'mojo' in a guitar amp. Well, they are easier to replace. These radial caps have 12000 hour life expectancy (longer, since they won't see the max working voltages).

This bastard used a pair of EL34s (adjustable fixed bias) for 30 watts. Smaller chassis (17.5" wide, rather than 20"). Yes, the little choke is up for the task. Check out the hammond open-frame units.

This amp is looking great as it is supposed to look. Such a very nice and creative design and build-up.

First batch of kit faceplates. Probably will just say 'V2 Amplification' in the future so that I can order just one 'batch'. Kit comes with full step-by-step instructions too.
Oh, that that's my new fav indicator light. Runs off the 120Vac at the switch. Not cheap, but worth it.

Looks rad. Do you do higher watt as well?

My stock chassis are good for up to 50W transformer sets.

100W just would need another chassis
