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.

New heaters.

The PI. Its a Jensen screw thangly dangler. Thought about the eyelet crimpy's. Just wraped clockwise and tightened down with a reasonable amout of tourque.

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 .
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.

What caps are those? post link please.

Just looking on the Valvestorm site. No Sozo's? Sozo out of stock?

Did I miss something?

Thanks for the Xicon link, Ive been obsessed with box caps lately.

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

Capacitor shopping is like shoe shopping for ladies, wow

Haha, yep, pretty much

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...
