I've built two so far and they are pretty much the only amps I use anymore. The schematics and layouts are great. I've owned some pcb sets and they looked very high quality but to facilitate tweaking I ended up doing mine as turret builds. Since then I've even done my own turret layouts integrating all my mods for a cleaner build. The c3 chassis and other related parts are all top notch, that chassis is really really nice. I have one build with onetics trannies and one with heyboers. The onetics are supposed to be scary close to the deyoungs in the slo and soldano uses them in all his amps now except the slo. That being said at the volumes I play I can't tell the difference between the onetics and heyboers but the heyboers were half the cost. I say GO FOR IT!!!!
That is what I was hoping to hear!!! Where did you buy your heyboers from? I was thinking about going with this set as they were supposedly developed for the SLO clone at the request of a bunch of guys on the forum.
http://www.classictone.net/Universal-Pr ... rmers.html The prices that are shown are for when you buy 18 or more!!! OT will be $110, PT $121, Choke $20 (but I might choose a 5H choke instead of the 3H).
I actually prefer to do part changes on a well built PCB since I have a lot more experience PCB soldering, and a nice temp controlled soldering station.
That C3 chassis is very cool, but I am thinking about doing a smaller chassis that can be rack mounted. or possibly if I can make the configuration work maybe a 3U, or 4U rack unit with everything internal, and some nice big vents for the power tubes.
