It's just the Modulus branded transformers and some TAD/JJs in there. I don't mind JJs, they sound okay and are ubiquitous enough that you can (usually) rely on them for easy replacement.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

I was actually thinking of you occasionally whilst soldering, making sure all my joints were good enough :D

After many many weeks waiting the cabinet finally came for this so I got to get it off the bench and tucked away safely...

I opted for a HiWatt style mini head.

Please to have wrapped this one up. Some good lessons learned. I think I'll take another on after the summer.
