I'm going to upload a few at a time instead of one at a time, this way there's more amps available to build. The 2000s is a little tricky because of the way the switch is wired and the amp design is pretty unique. That and I kinda have my own way of doing amp layouts. Instead of doing everyone on one big board I have strips so you can see the amp chasis through the components, which I think just looks better/cooler then looking at a big piece of empty board, and I really try to keep everything with as few cross over wiring as possible. One thing to keep in mind is they some of the components are not to scale, so when we all go to build them we may have to adjust the spacing of some of the turrets to get it right. Some of the electros use for tube amps can be massive.

I'm also trying to figure out how to modify the 2000s to give it more gain, maybe have another preamp tube that's switchable, and I'm going to add a master volume since the original didn't have one and the amp breakup is when your at like 6 or 8. So I'm thinking with a master volume the original volume ends up controlling the gain, so you can drive the amp at lower volumes.

Leave it to me to always tinker. Lol
