Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

I saw this in another post of yours. I love the attention to detail! It is far above and beyond even "boutique" amp offerings
I have two of Bartel's Tone King amps still, and had another for several years. I'd take them in to the guy who does my amp work/maintenance, and he loves them after having been inside them, and tells everyone to buy them if they want "Boutique".

Do they have an EF86/EL84 offering?
 
My layout style is more organic.
With the exception of the right hand rule of spin and magnetic fields propagating at 90°... I don't think my geometric layouts (sacred or otherwise) sound much different than one thrown down at random.

But I like it. I think it shows the extra time taken when a designer really cares about the final product.

I do find the board routing and layout can be terrible for stray capacitance or inductance ..especially if you use an autorouter , tiny traces, or lots of vias/jumpers. I always route my wires by hand, and try to cross at right angles, and I use heavy traces as busses for the voltage rails.
F-iLB :)
 
I have a small batch of boards to test and make any final changes next week, and then they will be in production.
thinking about adding a WKS badge to the amp after this mod. A la Michael Landau deville. Can someone photoshop a small badge on the amp?
