Hello Codefox! Thanks alot for all those tips! Just from your suggestions, I can see I missed a few steps! I will print out all your suggestions and take them to the workbench. The distortion is very minimal, but Im sure with enough time, will be able to find it. This is the first 2 amps all on 1 chassis Ive ever built. Mostly because the chassis was already punched & ready! My wife took some photos of the amp. Its still not finished, but will post the photos in a new thread in case anyone wants to see them.
Thanks again for all your help!!
Sincerely, Randal Icon_wink
