Has this been done? Time has come for me to finally do an October. Would be cool if I could squeeze it into a Stout chassis. I could go either Gothic Ring style or a turret board... no preference. Not against using an external cap can either.
Thanks.

I think this attachment might be useful. A layout I saved a while back when I was going to do mine PTP... Thanks to whoever did it!
Also, didn't Sluckey make his 6V6 plexi in a similar looking chassis: https://sluckeyamps.com/6v6plexi/6v6plexi.htm

I used a 12.5 x 6.5 x 2.5 blank chassis for the Plexi6V6. Doug used that stout chassis for his Plexi6V6. The stout chassis has the tubes mounted up front with the pots. I prefer to have the tubes lined up in back like a traditional Marshall of Fender amp.
The October should fit into either of those chassis with some careful planning.

Thanks guys. A little after I posted that I thought of the Huss 6V6 Plexi and found Sluckey's post about it. Those two are close enough for that to be a great reference point.
Hard to beat the price on the Stout Chassis! Drilling is so time-consuming... by far my least favorite part of a build. I may just end up buying a JTM45 chassis and using that for an October build. Either that or I gut my Simple20 V1 build and put it in there... then I wouldn't have to buy any transformers either... hmm... It's just collecting dust because I use my Simple20 V2 build live now... that might be the cheapest and fastest way to go. The preamp is on a separate turret board so I would technically only need to replace that...
