Here's my new amp I just built:
The idea is a 2 channel amp with relays to select either channel A or B, channel A feeding channel B, or Chanel B feeding Channel A, all with only a 2 button footswitch. I used a Trinity amps 18W kit and added my relay board and an extra power transformer for the relay and LED channel indicators. The relays and LEDs draw about a quarter of an amp (~250mA) worst case scenario (the board has 4 static states depending on the footswitch selection) and I didn't want to strain the amps power transformer.
I also added some other little mods: Master drive, TMB volume boost, expander (doesn't seem to do much), and I have another switch for diode clipping I haven't hooked up yet.
