Heck of a lot cleaner wiring than the 68 Super Reverb I had a look inside the other day.


Indeed, PTM!

That's another issue that the "boo-teek" crowd doesn't like to discuss. With a quality PCB, there's less opportunity for the amp to develop weird parasitic oscillations and extraneous noise due to sloppy lead dress. Some of those FMI/CBS monstrosities look like Lindsay Lohan on a really bad hair day.

Like Arjay says, Less wires running all over the place, less chance of noise, hum etc.
A clean build is a happy build. :wink: The bottom line is, is it reliable, and does it sound great to you. If you take your time and have good soldering skills, that amp will be rock solid. If the HRD series were built like that, they'd be a great, reliable amp. Might cost a bit more, but would be worth it in the long run.
