They're really great amps with lots of dynamics and complexe tonal structure. For me it all narrows down to my 18W Tremolo TMB when it really matters.

Congratulations! I'm glad it worked out. Don't forget to post a demo! I want to hear those tubes too.

Thanks to you both for all the help!
I'll make a demo and post it up once our company leaves.

If you want them to leave sooner, recording a demo might help.

Consider some shrink wrap and/or silicone underneath your V3A grid wire to prevent a short to chassis.

Re: Finished ValveStorm 18W Trem. Look Okay?
Please pardon the hamfisted playing - I'm woefully out of practice.
I left in the Amperex Holland EL84s (still at 92% with the 220R) and even threw in some Amperex Holland 12AX7 I found in V1 & V3.
Straight in with an A/B pedal and Tremolo switch - starts with the normal channel on 5 and then switches to the tremolo side on 10 then same with tremolo off.
