Note that Hoffman boards are not assembled by looking at my builds. I do test builds first and change the designs based on those builds. You assemble Hoffman boards using the documents listed below. The Layout Diagram, Schematic and BOM for this board are on this page |

The lugs have been laced and soldered I had to modify the board, it was too long to fit into the chassis. I eliminated the 2 x 100 ohm resistors at the right end of the board. The resistors will be installed on the back of the Fender lamp assembly like vintage Fenders |

Finished the pot wiring and fired it up Biased the EH 6V6's at 30ma as a general bias current for my first test Plugged it into a Marshal 4x12 cabinet set at 8 ohms It sounds great |
