Ended up taking my own advise. For as much as I abused these tubes before, I take back everything bad I said about them. They sound awesome. Love the amp. The trem. is working great, sounds great, love the breakup & dynamics. This is after several hours.

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.

It turned out the husband was quite fond of loud guitar (and my best tequila)

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

All done with the case (will still get to a demo soon).

Sorry for the delay, work got really busy. I'll post a recording this weekend.

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.
