Hey Joe! Welcome!
I haven't seen any official "order of build" for this amp, but you might search the thread to see if anyone has tried a 9 volt battery prior to pluggint it in. I would imagine that nobody has done this because the cost is pretty low for the amp.
Rat's nest: try not to. If you stay organized while building, your amp will be that much easier to troubleshoot if you have problems later. There is a small chance that you could minimize some induced noise, but let's just get the basic build working for you first.
Have fun.

A few questions...can anyone recommend a good order for the assembly - meaning an order where I can test things along the way with a minimal amount of risk of damage? Also, will the length of wires I use greatly impact the sound quality? What I really mean: if it looks like a rat's nest, but all the connections are fine, am I still ok? Is there a big difference in using an all-metal enclosure vs the copper plate attached to a wooden enclosure like a cigar box? Thanks! |
