Well, Like I said, I design around that sort of thing now. I did experience enough of that "crap shoot" anomalous tone thing early on though. The way I lay out my amps now it almost can't happen at all. So "I" control what happens with the circuit. Some might argue that the very best tones are the result of anomalous circumstance. Maybe. I do pretty well avoiding it now 
The circuit I build most has been in several different size chassis, a couple of different wattage configurations and some differences in resistor type and capacitor dielectric. They all sound predictable to the design and pretty much the same in all the ways that count. I'd recommend following some of the outlined ideology for any future builds. It takes some of the "mojo" out of the picture, and it's for the best.

besides, as good as it sounds now thanks to whatever mojo playing around with leads caused, and as unbelievably sloppy this 18 watt turned master volume cascade affair is, there would be no way to recreate this tone. So another build would almost surely be a let down.It really does sound amazing all of a sudden. Every time i turn it on i expect the tone to be back as it was but each time i'm happy to find it;s still sounding amazing. I think tomorrow i'm going to make the tacked connections solid w/o changing them too much and zip er up.
