Cool! Let's hear it! Also, did you have a schem for the tranny switching mod?

Man that looks great. Super clean build!

[gtr2]

Great build.  Love the look and enclosure.

That is soooo sexy!  Love the look and the guts make tasty viewing

[slimtriggers]

Very cool.  Has sort of a cold war era military device look

[stevenrun]

Love the retro look. Looks like a panel off a 1960s nuclear reactor or something.

I'm really glad to get all these positive response, thank you guys! Will see what I can do about a audio-demo.

Om_Audio:
this is how I wired the switching. (nevermind the orientation of the transistors, think the OC's are mirrored)

[Om_Audio]

Wow, thanks. So I am a n00b for the most part but-
1- Did you pick Q2 to put the trim pots on for any particular reason vs Q1?
2- Did you consider an external trim for both trannys on Q2?
I don't really understand biasing yet but I assume it is somehow an adjusting that only needs to be done on one tranny or the other.

Not that I'm a expert on this, actually I don't understand it at all. I will let someone else answer why the bias is on Q2. The reason the pot for germanium Q2 is exterior is because germanium's are heat-sensitive, if if its cold the bias-pot is in one position and if its warmer I might turn it to another position. Silicon-transistors aren't heat-sensitive and to my ears they just sound good i "one" position, that's why the silicon-bias is internal....  I think
