Tube amp works! Found a burnt resistor last night and after playing with the spares and having them get red hot, figured there may be another issue. Replaced the one resistor with a different type, but with same values and the same thing.. Today I found a capacitor I soldered in backwards. Temporarily wired it the correct way and it all works. Clean tones and distorted! For a 5 watt amp, this thing is too loud! Good thing it can be dialed back.

Tonight's project is to clean it all up. Don't know how I'm going to solder the cap in the right way. It's not easy to get to.

Anyone with tube amp knowledge.... Are the tubes supposed to get really hot like light bulbs?
