Sorry Sluckey but no gut shots. I have seen yours and you make me look like the rank amateur that I am. Lets just say that it is dead quiet and sound really good. Note, I did run the heater wires over head and right down the middle of the sockets. First time I have tried that. Worked good. I usually run the heater wiring like Marshall amps with them on the floor and in the corner.

Thanks for the comments. A couple of things about the unit..The amount of reverb available is enormous. As should be, it is the sound of the surf music. This unit has been played with 4 different amps now and there has been no ground loop problems. It is really quiet. I can't hear any tone suck issues when the standard foot switch by pass arrangement is used. I built a "True bypass" switch to use with it but don't think it will be needed. The red finish is Trans Tint dye with several coats of clear on top. This unit will be played at home and not subject much moving and rough handling so I can get away with this type of finish. Have yet to hear it with the Bassman. Son is coming to visit Labor Day. Will get to hear the two together then. Can't wait.
