Looks great PLX! You will not regret installing the depth mod and NFB mod controls, both will make the amp super versatile!

I drilled an extra hole on the faceplate, right next to the Presence control and placed the Variable NFB control there..
I used the hole on the back of the chassis where the Effects Loop Return Level knob was supposed to go for the Resonance Control knob.

Re: Ceriatone AH-50 Build
If you have the room next to your depth pot you might want to put your NFB control there on the front. That is one control you might fiddle with quite a bit. The depth you kind of set it an leave it. I had my NFB control right next to the presence control on my Zilla 4 gain stager and I would tweak that thing all the time, it was hoot, 27K it's a plexi....100K it's a Super lead ...200K it tight like a Splawn.
Headbox looks good, I figured you would Snake print tolex that bad boy but you went for the Boogie look huh.

Re: Ceriatone AH-50 Build
Reggie asked me if I was gonna cover it with tolex.
When I said I was just going to stain it, he said, "Ok then I'll make the front panel out of Baltic birch with a nice grain."
Honestly, if I hadn't found a cabinet builder at the last minute who would fucking listen to me and pay attention to the dimensions of the chassis, I was about to go down to Home Despot and buy some damned birch plywood and "hillbilly" the cabinet together myself.

Re: Ceriatone AH-50 Build
I know it has everything plus the kitchen sink in there, but did you incorporate the "nitro secret pedal" into the circuit too?
