Bio: I am really a novice builder relative to most out there and more as a hobby but I guess you can say a serious hobby. I have built the Ultimate amp starting from a JCM800 with power scaling, extra gain stage, aux power supply, and modified to take any octal power tube based on Kevin's works. This amp is really the latest and greatest for me and galactic grounding from TUT book and am extremely happy with the build. Ultra quiet and sounds awesome the way I like it.

Those rivets were exactly where I was soldering to in order to leave some room for the solder lug/post. It seemed too convenient.
But they are exactly that. Rivets for attachment. So I damaged those pots I think probably due to the heat. Since they are 25K but now measure in 28Meg.

Well lesson learned.

Come in where it's warm!
A warm welcome to tube amp modding fans and those interested in hi-fi audio! Readers of Kevin O'Connor's The Ultimate Tone (TUT) book series form a part of our population. Kevin O'Connor is the creator of the popular Power Scaling methodology for amplifiers.
Please remember these three principles: respect, sharing, community.
