Changed it to 18w haha there were a lot of noises so Im going to reassemble them but may as well use 18w with half power switch

This. That sure is purdy

Beautiful work sir

you can pre-order chassis here to spec with transformer hole and I IEC socket for 50 bucks. 2mm aluminium.

I assume the red and black bits are for bias voltage readings and the pots for setting it? VERY NICE!! Whats the black knob do?

Yup that's supposed to be the internal of trim pot but mounted at the bottom. Easy adjust

Thanks, I will build an external Dlator. I'll use a 12vac and then use a transformer to convert it to a high current (300v) internally. I was considering the ceriatone one but it's not tube buffered so it's not as punchy as the original one. One tube is enough.

Clean guts, there's a lot going on in that small chassis !

Haha its not small..... its 490mm x 200mm chassis. Those Orange capacitors are HUGE..

Well then... claming trick photography + my misread... thought you were building that in a 5e3 chassis

Modified the 2w amp grille,painted the faceplate and changed the knobs.

Made a footswitch using an old footswitch enclosure. Gutted the inside and added the circuit and removed the graphics. Controls are OD/Clean, Jazz/Rock (not a standard feature for the ODS), Boost. It works perfectly.
