Just beautiful Steve.  I really like it.  I miss your website.  It was like coming over to you house once in awhile to see what you had been doing.
Guides on your quest for tone.
 Oh yeah, and I'm usually just kidding so don't take me too seriously.

I'm working on it Barry. Maybe a nice Christmas present for me. I'll be sure to let you know if I get the site back online. I already have a page for this AO-63 conversion.

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Steve,
Curious if you have tried the Weber?  I have been thinking of getting a couple and want to know what you think of them against your Celestion Blue.  Like in what way they are different.

Yes, I've tried it. Bottom end is very solid. But the brightness is kinda muffled because of the Leslie cab. Kinda like having a huge beam blocker in front of the speaker.

But, this Cali had a very bright in your face high end when in my TDR cab. Bottom end was solid too. Reminds me of the sound of a JBL D120 smooth cone. If it sounds so bright to me I wonder what someone with good ears would say?

I don't even know how to compare it to the Blue.
