Exactly. Give me a good picture of where the parts go and I could build a lot of amps. Give me a schematic and I'm lost, mostly. Even if I did source my own parts I wouldn't have any idea what part goes where on a PCB without a great diagram or picture and even less so with point-to-point. Maybe someday I'll learn to do that.
