I can't play for crap I know. I have more fun building then playing.
I finally found a schematic that is supposed to be the preamp and tube fx loop. I used the Superlite amp section and slightly changed for more headroom.

Still working on the "noise" it's actually quite than what was picked up here. (Fixed most of that. I had my rectification way to close the PT and line voltage)

I also added a built-in noise gate. :icon_biggrin: The distortion first portion is showing the noise gate.

Well let me know what you think.

Wow, tough crowd here John. My first time checking this out. The amp sounds great if you ask me and reverb too even! Keep practicing and the playing part will come around a little better each day...
To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

Thanks. I don't pay much attention to what others say. I have fun making amps and pedals. The reverb is actually a delay I made that cango from "reverb" like to a nice delay.
