    Looks great! I do love a polished metal enclosure.

    I have a spring reverb unit as well on the Kustom amp chassis. But I can't see any identifying marks on it yet, which means I don't know what circuit I need to drive it. Perhaps I should trace the Kustom amp board one day.
    Mantra: No more pedals, must finish BlueyCaster...

    If it's an accutronics tank, then there should be a model number somewhere on it. Have you taken it out of the chassis yet as it may be hidden under the cover? Presumably it's a solid state amp? Valve reverb tanks have very different impedance characteristics to ones designed for solid state amps.

    Yes, solid state amp. No, I haven't removed it yet. I am torn between stripping the board for parts and trying to fix it. It has a blown cap on the power supply, is a 30w acoustic amp with reverb and chorus. But have no cabinet or speakers for it, and don't need an acoustic amp anyway. Cost $5.

    I will have a look at removing it. One day...
