no pics yet, but i built my first "big" ss amp yesterday and im pretty psyched with the results!

i used a descrete power amp kit from here: http://store.qkits.com/moreinfo.cfm/FK660

and the opamp pre mentioned in the preamp section of these here fine forums (allthough a may make a descrete pre as well)

the power amp kit seems to work well, and comes with a heat sink too!
it also has 15v +/- taps so a second transformer can be avoided.
cheap kit to boot!
ill post pics soon!

Sounds cool, have you played your guitar through it yet?  How's it sound?  Is it possible you could hook us up with a sound clip?

well, ive blown it up!
i replaced the preamp with a bipolar version of the same pre.
and it sounded unreal! soooo clean and loud.
nothing was gotting hot no problems what so ever.
then i went to plug in a fuzz box and before i could even play the sound stopped and all i got was a low frequency oscillation.
i disconected the pre and it coninued to oscillate.
im pretty bummed out  :'(
any ideas what as to what i could have fried?
