Hope to have it working this weekend. The plan is to make it a head and then buy or make a 2x12 cabinet with a couple of Celestians in it. If I can find a cheap Marshall 4x12 that would be awesome!
Chassis is an old IBM Token Ring MAU. Preamp is going to be the Sans Amp GT-2 from Tonepad (http://www.tonepad.com/project.asp?id=22). Don't know how this will work as a preamp as it overdrives the op amps for distortion and I'm using a +-15v supply for the preamp. Not sure I'll get any distortion out of it. If I don't I'll use the Guitar Preamp from ESP Project 27 (http://www.sound.westhost.com/project27.htm). I've got both built and ready to go. I hope the Sans Amp works and gives me a lot of tone choices. That's an Avel 160VA Torroidal.
I just placed an order for a couple of LM4780s. My next project is going to be a stereo 60watter as close t0 the Marshall sound as I can get it. I'd like for it to clean up a bit (Fenderish) on one end and dip into high gain on the other. Don't care about a clean channel. Got a preamp suggestion for that one?

Looking good. Thanks for the pics. Please post when it's done too!
