rick	thanks everyone for the responses. however, since i have ABSOLUTELY no electrical experience (nothing more than installing new pick ups in my guitar) i'm not so sure that this is a good project for me. after reading that capacitors still carry charges after the amp is off, i'll think twice next time i take the chassis out of my classic 20.   .

Chris Hurley	I'd have to suggest that you consider building an effect or two first... Get your feet wet with something less dangerous.     Every time I see this sort of question from people who *really* want to get started, it makes me think that the "single 6bm8" amp isn't such a bad idea...

rick	chris:     i'm the guy that sent you the e-mail yesterday on this very topic. i'd certainly be interested in more information regarding the "single 6bm8" amp you referenced in my e-mail and for this response. thanks
