Sorry for the quality of the pictures... I really need to get a tripod.

The meet was great tonight, but I'm glad to finally be home as I didn't get much of a chance to hear my amp there.
A few points:
- Yes, the 1/4" jacks are different. Yes, it will be fixed.
- The Power keystart switch failed and Peter had to bypass it... I'm glad this happened before he handed the amp over.
- The faceplate didnt really turn out as Peter and I wanted it. Neither of us payed anything for it though so no harm. Steve [swt61] should be able to remedy this for us in any case.
- The XLR jacks are way too close to the volume knobs... this is one of the things that we will try to remedy with the new faceplate.
- I believe Peter mentioned that there is some more exterior finishing that is still to be done.
- Will probably swap the blue LED for a green one. Though I suppose I need to consider what will look proper on a bloodwood and ebony faceplate.
- I'm thinking about trying to source the aluminum caps voodoochile used in his gorgeous amp as mine are tin. With aluminum I could polish them up nice and clear coat them.
- We will likely tweak the circuit some more, though at the moment my complaints are very minor.
- It's still burning in, so no impressions yet.
My attempt at a Lights Out shot without a tripod...
Renato enjoying himself...
The whole rack...
[I know, this is a terrible picture.]
Random decent shot I took of the E5 Sig...
Peace...
I'm listening to Theivery Corporation - Heaven's Gonna Burn Your Eyes at the moment, and I swear, it is.
