Sweet! What circuit plan will you be following? Specifically, the grounding scheme. I am just so used to seeing some type of grounding buss bar across the pots at this stage in the build that it's absence jumped out at me.
Given your moniker and location I just have to ask: Do you work at General Atomics? I am in the energy division with the alternate fuels group. Growing alge to make jet fuel for DARPA. So....I am a farmer now!!!
I will be following a circuit similar to the four gain stage of a Splawn, or a Roccaforte. It will have a plate fed tonestack. Basically a hotrodded Marshall JCM800 with an extra gain stage. I can't put the transformers like a TW because they won't fit. The trannies are already 90 degrees from each other so they should be fine. I got the chassis and headbox from tenguitars on this forum. I have grommets on order, just waiting for my parts to come in. The reason I posted here is because this is the forum that pushed me into building my own amps. My first build since I was in my tweens, (I'm 44 now) was a TW Express ala Francesca. It was a great amp. I sold it to someone in Germany. I have built quite a few since, Dumble clones, Marshall clones, Fender clones, and a Sunn clone.

I will play it safe and use a three point grounding scheme. 1. Preamp, 2. Power amp, 3. Input power.
I don't work at GA, but i work as a field electronics tech. I do a lot of work for military and defense agencies, as well as standard commercial stuff.

Sounds like you got a real screamer in mind. Hope it turns out great.
sounds cool, and thanks for the info. yeah, you will be fine with the transformers like, i don't see what the supposed problem was in the first place. ??
