The "Standard Amp" as presented by London Power in TUT5

The pictures below show my progress as I build this amp. I will add pictures on a regular basis. 

This amp is a 50 watt 2 channel guitar amplifier.  It has a parallel effects loop and reverb on both channels.

In addition, there will be power scaling and a sag/sustain control feature.

This amp has many power amp controls for fixed/cathode bias and pentode/triode on every tube.
