Guardians of the Analog

Hi everyone, long time lurker and decided to make an account. I'm Chris and I'm not new to diy. In my mid 40s and playing since I was 10. From the Detroit area and been doing diy for around 20 years now.
I started modding guitar electronics and started my journey there. I've been modding amps and pedals shortly after that. Around 2011 I started building pedals. Started with Vero and then GGG and BYOC. Eventually found madbean pedals and then pedalpcb. I started doing Guardians of the Analog pedals in 2018 as a fun project and mostly build for myself and a handful of others.
I wanted to build an amp forever and last year I stumbled on headfirst and Jason Tong videos and found my way here. I built an evolve diy Marshall origin20 drop in 2204 PCB set and loved it. While looking at amps I fell in love with a buddy's dirty Shirley and while on the forum I discovered many threads with discussion and schematics and decided to build my own using the drop in pcb set again. I finally really finished it up and this is by far the best amp I've had in years. Wanna thank everyone for all the insight and knowledge as it has really been helpful. Here's my feral cheryl, named after my wife (Cheryl is her middle name) and her mean streak when you piss her off lol.
Its running new tung sol 5881s, nos preamp glass, I added a three way bright cap switch and made a relay footswitch for the high gain structure mode.
