Note radical guitar rig - heavily modded 1967 blackface Bassman head into Marshall 4x12 cab (which contains 2 Vintage 30s and 2 Greenbacks). Guitar is a mongrel Stratocaster made of various pieces and parts (including cool weird low-output Seymour Duncan single coils). Effects chain is Boss tuner->Fulltone Fulldrive 2->Sovtek Big Muff->Boss Digital Reverb. Yes I am a guitar geek.
Rebuilding my monster amplification system...this thing has six channels, and 13 tubes. I replaced all of them with Sovtek 12ax7 lps, 1 jj tesla ec83, and 4 Sed el34's. It is gonna be earth shattering when i get it to work.

Dry fit of all major components, back side.
Back plate is (l-r) fuse holder, IEC power cord plug, impedence switch (8 or 16 ohms) and twin output jacks. To be installed are the test points for the bias supply as well as the bias pot itself.
On top of the amp we have the two el84 output tubes (currently Sovtek but I plan to get some JJ's) and the two 12ax7 preamp tubes. The PT is laying down to the far left, OT is nestled between PT and cap board.
For the bias pot, I plan on making a U bracket to mount the pot with the slotted shaft facing towards the back plate. A pilot hole will provide access to bias the amp without removing the chassis from it's cabinet.
Wanted to get the glow of the tubes but had the flash on! At least you can read the Serial Number (10692).
