    Well the speaker won't be here till Wednesday. Way to go Fedex.... But in the end I guess it's my fault....

    The speaker arrived yesterday so I loaded it in the cabinet, and also change out the fasteners on the back of the cabinet to brass (so it matches the rest of the hardware on the amp and it's gold finish). Minor incident with a brass screw broke the head off it), so I'll have to drill that out tonight. The odd thing was I really wasn't pushing it hard with the drill when I was putting that screw in and it still broke the head off. Freaking 40 cent screw. But that's the breaks in the world of brass.

    Of course all my heads are at the studio so I didn't get to try the new speaker out. Oh well...

    I also installed the weber logo to the grille on the cabinet.

    Now waiting on the front and rear face plates, mount the chassis to the head and it will be good to go.

    Project is being wrapped up on Saturday. Chassis will be mounted, everything buttoned up, and my first chords will be played through it.

    Now my fingers are crossed that the speaker I chose will work out.

    And it's complete. Need to take pictures of it all finished and post them up.

    Amp sounds amazing, nice and creamy. Push pull on the boost is a nice change from the switch in the prototype. Nice cleans, great break up, great compression. Pretty freaking versatile amp. Way beyond my abilities. The Weber speaker will be about perfect once it gets a few hours on it. But its voicing does go well with the circuit. Right now I'm dealing with a rattle in the cabinet that I'm trying to solve. Everything is pointing at the baffle. I'm going to attack that when I get home tonight. If i were to do anything different I would probably go with a vintage 1x12 cabinet from J Design in lieu of the thin line cabinet. I swear the extra girth from the vintage cabinet helps with projection. But live and learn. In the end the Phathead Classic 6 is about perfect for me. I am not disappointed.

    Lady's and Gentlemen, the Phathead Classic 6. A 5e3ish power section paired with a blackfaceish pre amp section. My basement is pretty dark, hard to get good photos.
