2-Speaker jacks, 3 way rotary impedance selector, power
switch, fuse holder.
This is the turret board
layout I am going to use. The 18 watt Lite circuit has no tremolo
and I plan on using the 2nd half of the first pre amp tube
for a gain boost, hence the relay. I am calling this
beefier 18 watt version the 18 watt Stout.
Note:
In later Stout and Stout/Reverb test boards, I inserted the
relay in between the lugs on the board to keep wire lengths
at an absolute minimum. This was a big improvement over the
experimental board in the picture above.
Update:
I do not recommend using a relay for switching unless you
absolutely must have it and you are very skilled at
scratch building amps. There are too many noise problems
that can occur using a relay with higher gain circuits. I
have removed all the relays from my Stout builds and
prefer to have them direct drive/no Switch. I leave the
gain stage on full time and still can get a decent clean
tone so there was no need to switch off the extra gain
stage. See the Stout with no switch info on my library
page.
