Basic harmony singing parts form major or minor chords. Chords are formed from stack of major 3rd, minor 3rd, and perfect 4th. C major is major 3rd (C-E), minor 3rd (E-G) and 5th (G-C). C minor is minor 34d, major 3rd, and 4th. Harmony below the melody will be the major 3rd, minor 3rd, or 4th interv...

Haven't done it in a while, but I've sent amps overseas to various countries using IPSparcel.com THey consolidate shippments using FedEx and other companies. They were always much less cost than using FedEx or any other carrier, but always delivered.

Yes, rewire the pot so hot stays connected. Use one leg of pot connected to hot, center leg through cap to ground. Try different value caps, probably .1mF would do.

It's a lot of work but you can shift your pedals to the right to add pedal to left of E9 pedals and put the C6 P4 change there. Then stepping on that pedal along with 1st "E9" pedal will give the change that your current P7 gives, the five chord. Either eliminate your P7 or move the F# cha...

Re: Just throwin' this out...

My experience tells me that those types of noises can come from other places, too. Cold solder joints, bad small caps (not the power supply ones), or even a bad resistor. And don't forget to clean all the Molex connectors. ;-) I concur. Bad filter caps, if the amp works at all, usually sounds more ...

6.9v is within the plus/minus 20%. Good.
For bias adjusting, shoot for 70 percent plate dissipation.
