That was a beautiful build for sure and predictably had the magic big time. Is the owner breaking it in nicely? Can't wait to see this next wave of builds. :D

It is an awesome amp! I have held off posting clips until I get the full setup configured. Words can't explain how wonderful it sounds even though it's through a v-30/gt-75 amp. I have a greenback cab and a blackback cab that needs to be set up for the rig.

Most folks like the VH1 tone...I personally don't and Kevin did a great job dialing in the tone that I was looking for. Kevin did one hell of a job!

What's the required voltage rating for the v2a electrolytic?

Here you go Phil. Dont drool on the keyboard :)

The choke is MM (toneclone) 3.8H.

I am convinced that this set up is key for that great tone. The chicklet on V1B and the Mylar dipped on V2a. My amp became a completely different animal when I put those in.

Are those 1w 68k input resistors?

Good to have you here Brian. What exactly needs to be done with your two cabs, let us know and I'm sure we could easily walk you through the proper setup.
