Marshall style build noise...

I'm going to try building it again with a new board/better layout

     I admire and support your perseverance!  Bravo!  Great perspective and attitude.  I'm rooting for you to have
                      great success with this!

With respect, Tubenit

It is my hope to make a career out of this, so I intend to use every opportunity to learn.  I also don't give up easily, despite the fact I am getting frustrated. I really hope to conquer this.  I will most likely post my revised schematic and layout here, before I commit to the building the board, to try and avoid winding up in this situation again.
