Change the turrets location, or lengthen leads?
Maybe now that Ed's tour is over and we cant talk about his hair, we can get back down here.

Problem is I dont have anything I really want to try. Super content with where I'm at right now.

If Brian can move turrets around, probably cleaner.

I already have the board. I could just add a few extras maybe. I'll get a few pics up.

My delema. Just slightly too short. Flipped them upsidedown Variplex style. A slight extension on one side would do, or just add a new turret on each side? Leave the original turret if I add another?

Very sweet heater wires ! It will be cool to hear how those Xicon boxes sound in all the coupler/bypass/tone stack spots :thumbsup: .
Didnt you say your Variplex has those throughout ?

Yeah, I think they all are . There is one odd one though if I remember. A radial type in the preamp.

Some of the values are getting hard to find. Valvestorm has a limited supply so maybe grab some while you can. :thumbsup:

Heaters look great, glad to see you back at this one.

Do you already have some split turrets? I think adding them would look cleaner...
