Does anyone else want to see the circuit work of Ultimate. You are not going to see it because there are stuff in there that you have no right to see. Like the world's first dual caps and switch.

I am not adding fuel to the fire but switchable dual caps is not new and not a worlds first, just a google search will show that, in fact at least ten years ago mention was made of a rotary switch with more than 2 capacitors in circuit was available.
You will find some commercial guitar amps use the technique as part of their channel switching. Switch in some gain enlarging caps and maybe a voltage divider change elsewhere, and poof - channel switching. Resistors were added to stop the capacitors fully discharging and causing the pop sound.

Now for ****s sake, those of you who wish to talk more about openly publishing inner chassis work, please leave the channel. You're trolling and wasting my time. I'm here to talk about Ultimate.
I look at the same way as if I buy a car, am I not allowed to post photos of the engine internals online whether or not the manufacturer approves ?
Not all amp builders think that way, I provided examples of some amp builders that like to show off the internals of their amps so I didn't know that was a thing, some people are not aware of this unwritten "rule".
And I already removed the photo out of respect for his wishes.
If you bought a custom built car with a unique engine design I don't think the manufacturer would thank you
But you weren't to know and have done the right thing so all good but
NO SOUP

Guys, can we PLEASE stop the discussion about posting photos of the amp's internals?
Fact is: Eric explicitly asked me, Matt and others NOT to post those photos.
I truly hope people would choose to respect the wishes of Eric, and refrain from posting photos of the internals.
Now, PLEASE let's move on to other topics. Thank you

I don't know how to improve on this Super Gold Ultimate now. It is so good sounding that I feel it's worth more than the AUD$3200. Zachi and I will be the next to get a similar Ultimate. The inclusion of dual caps is the most fun. 2 x 6J5 is a brilliant idea, The preamp - I would get it in a heart beat now.

On request from Eric to publish this on his behalf...
I see there are some discussions on showing under chassis picture(s) of UntimatE ( or other McChanson Amp) in public / forum. This may make me feel a bit concerned. I wish to make a Non-binding request NOT TO...
If you are not happy with my amp and complaining, just let me know, That is already enough to make me feel very sad, much more hurtful than posting a picture. and I will find a way to fix the amp issues.
If you appreciate my amp and show it to the public how good the interior is "point to point" soldering, how good parts are used... That is NOT necessary...I do not need this.
Dude, what that man would do is unbelievable.
You notice that he is from the old school.
I wish everyone could benefit from this, we would really have fewer problems and could exchange ideas about tube brands, technical matters and the like.
Those of you who are currently flaming, take a leaf out of your book. Without joking, your life would be a little easier than having to worry every day about what nonsense you want to do today.
The last 3-4 pages were really annoying.
Can I post a picture? No.Why not? I just explained why.But he and he said.Shut the **** up.
Worse than kindergarten, I paid for it, so I'm allowed. " Big cry" Mrs. X, he pulled down my pants.
