Great job on your first amp. I bet Greg helped you on that one.

Thanks! Well I have never meet Greg in person, although he did help me out with the trannies and the way they are wired. The PT was originally a lay down type. Got some end bells from Heyboer and converted it to standup. Heyboer made the trannies as well per Gregs specs. My experience with wiring comes from years of building and wiring guitars and basses. ;)

I'll get some sound files up soon.

I've never heard his amps, but when I was considering a black flag build, Greg was very cool in answering questions and sharing his experience.

Nice looking build. Congrats!
