@pedecamp - Oh the Weber was better, but I built it to be good, whereas the Ceriatone was just built as it came. See my comments below the video for notes on what things I did to this amp when building. The Ceriatone was fine, but this Weber just had a little extra "mojo", a sweetness in with the crunch. Plus, this one had extra front-end gain due to the cascading of the input channels. You could do everything I did to this amp to the Ceriatone, or any other amp, or amp kit.
@GrizAdams111 - "No master volume" means just that - there are only two two volume knobs, once for each channel. There is no overall "master" volume. It's sthe way old amps like this used to be made. "Cascaded" means that instead of the channels operating in parallel with each other, (the stock arrangement again), the channels are wired "in series", so that one "cascades" into the other. Thiss is a way to give the old Super Leads more preamp gain without adding any additional circuitry.
@GrizAdams111 - (part2) Plus it's easily reversible. As for the Sozos, I didn't replace every single one, jusst the ones that are in the signal path, as far as I remember.
Resistors came from Metropolous Amps, and I forget if the caps came from them or from another retailer online - I've gotten caps from Metro but I've also bought them from a couple places on the web.
Is using jumping the inputs with a cable the same as a cascaded preamp?

Which did you like better the Ceriatone or the Weber? Was the Weber difficult to build? Was considering this same model.

What does cascaded mean? And what do you mean by no master volume, did you put a gain stage in?
Did you sub Sozo caps for all your caps?
Thanks

@882952 Kind of like the first step to the Randy Rhoads mod, right?

What is the difference between the "p" and non p amps? Which tubes...KT66 or EL34? Thanks -tele.

@telecaster911 The "P"s are solid-state rectified. This amp had KT66s in it.
