Dale	Re: No guesses? Thanks for the thoughts folks! It gave me what I needed to know. Slowblues- This was it ... and it appears to be the circut. Thanks. The only change from an origional 5E3 is the ground drop is turned into a standby, and the extension cab connection is left out. Bruce at Mission - I do not know who's kit is was, or if it was a freeform built kit (I suspect the latter) using a 5E3 diagram. It sounded to me like the builder knew what he was doing and ordered the parts he needed as he went along. The final product looks and sounds good in the chas alone. Well, save the little electrical fizzy soundning thing as the distortion tails off when I hold a power chord. This appears to me to be a tube issue though as it goes away as everything heats up (but what do I know), so after it warms up it is working great. I seem to remember having this issue with a set of tubes I had in another amp. But, as I say, what do I know! It is in a non-coventional chas. so I will build a cab for it. I will probably mate it with my 1x12 home built in white blonde, or the 2x12 Avatar I have. Itf I get it going well with my white blonde tele (bigsby) and the white blonde cab, it will be a killer looking rig as well! In any event, it sounds good through both cabs. For $200 it seems to have been a pretty good deal.
