This project started from scratch in 2015 and it lagged, lagged...
By lack of time and technical unsuspected issues to solve... But now it's finished and works flawlessly.
Specs :
- dual channel, booster, reverb and FX loop, all facilities FSWable.
- 4 output power modes : 5W / 15W / 30W / 90WRMS.
- EVM12L loudspeaker.
Plus :
- instant versatility
- totally quiet (you don't play = silence)
- complete integrated instrument level FX loop, with 4x 9VDC PSU.
Minus :
- it's an anvil : 28.5kg
Here are pictures showing the details of the FX loop facility. The Carl Martin delay is connected to the FX Loop Send/Return jack and to one of the 9VDC outlets.
The delay is set on, and is controlled by the FX Loop FSW. Up to 4 effects put on the amp cab top can be chained and managed :
A+!

Thank you Guys !
I was waiting a sunny weather to take better pictures, but we're on a cloudy/rainy episode...
Here are some pictures of the inside and chassis :

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

In that box, there is 2 small DC regulated PSUs : one 6 volts for the switching relays, one 9 volts for the Holy Grail Nano. The 9VDC regulated source for the FX pedals is provided by a separate tap on the main power transformer.

Always the same: there's as much work in the power supply as in the amp itself.

True @thoglette ! If you want an amp that is quiet, stable and meeting the specs at any level, the power supply must follow the expectations, indeed.

So professional - I'm blown away with the thoroughness, awed! I'd say there's as much work in the details as the power supply and amp itself. Panel graphic lettering front and back, logo design and plate design / fabrication, model plate - even on the dust cover.
I can understand it took a long time however I admire the dedication you maintained. It's very inspirational to see such accomplishment and thanks for sharing. This is a good example of a "job offer" level of accomplishment - without having to know much anything else about you!
Thanks @jjasniew !
Yes - at the start in 2015, from the trunk of my car to the tolexed cab (the STK is the bigger one of the 3) :
A+!
