Ryan,

Those are nice caps.  If I understand you either have them in hand or they will be to you soon.  Just to be safe swap out both capacitors on the second terminal strip.  Both saw the high voltage.

Awesome, thank you sir, I'll swap them out this evening.

Check the solder joints on the LED that goes to A8.

PB, Grainger:

Thank you both so much for your patience and assistance.  The amp sounds absolutely wonderful and I've just ordered the Speedball upgrade - not that I find the amp lacking in any way, but it just looks like fun.

Thanks,

Ryan

Ryan,

You think, "How can this get any better?"  then get an upgrade and go, "WOW!" 

Enjoy the music!
