Title: 5e3 build

I can report that following the directions on how to check your wiring from this forum worked like a charm. I have some funkiness in the volume and tone pots, but besides that, Hoffman's law worked.

Maybe next time my work will be prettier...

Replying here in regards to the other post you started about the same amp

It's can't be right or it would be working correctly.
Just logic, right?


Parts values in the wrong place?
Ground wires not connected
Can be all sorts of things

Take really clear, sharp pictures and post them here.

Sorry! I added a few modifications to the amp and it seems to have corrected most of the issues.

I searched about the 5e3 pot problem and its helped by creating a master volume.
I will post pictures.

I had a 12at7 instead of a 12 ay7 in V1 and a 12ay7 instead of a 12at7 in v2.

i bought about 40 NOS vintage tubes over the weekend and grabbed the wrong one...
