I've built a few amps- not 30 or 40 but enough that I feel like I'm half decent at it and I can be proud of my work and even sell an amp to someone every once in a while. I've built a bunch of different designs with trem and verb and varying amounts of gain and with a few exceptions I've always been able to track down the issues and make them sound good and look decent under the hood. I've even built a stereo twin based on a pair of blackface circuits and managed to get it to work correctly.
I've been building a Blackface Princeton reverb for my brother using a Weber chassis and board and I'm really frustrated! I feel like all of my layouts in the past have been really straightforward but this thing is not fun to build. I know Fender arrived at this design for a reason but I'm really not happy with it so far. I wish I'd skipped the Fender style board and built my own eyelet or turret board.
Anyone else ever feel this way?
