ladies and gentlemen....the deluxe is functional!
the last little problem, the volume on the normal channel not going to zero, has been resolved! Just a little grounding problem. I'd like to give a shoutout to the guys on the weber kitbuilding forums for helping me find the problem!
what to do next....what to do, what to do....I may build another 5e3 for sale...as this amp sounds awesome, although i'm also thinking bassman or plexi...
anyway parties interested in the sound of the new amp can come see The Silence Kit play April 3rd at the Auction House in Audubon NJ!

Home from Clash Bar, good guitar cables, etc...
The show up at the clash bar in clifton new jersey was great! show was a lot of fun, i hope The Silence Kit gets to play there again soon. Also, look forward to some possible new videos popping up real soon!
anyway, one of the conversations i actually had up there was about guitar cables and how they can fall apart over a while because of abuse, and really don't last very long, mostly. or they just suck anyway and ruin your tone. Like Samson branded cables. screw samson! Sure you can get two twenty-foot cables for $10, but if they short out in a week, what's the point?
BUY THESE: CBI Braided Guitar Instrument Cable
the braided outer shell does more than look nice, it protects the entire cable and the ends of the cable are rubberized and sealed which goes a long way towards keeping the weakest part of the cable (the solder connections in the jacks) together longer. All my cables have been these basically the whole time i've been in The Silence Kit and i've never had to replace them, while a lot of the cables the other guys in the band have used have crapped out.
If you need short patch cables, or midi cables, or any kind of a weird cable type at all - Hosa is the place to go. Hosa sells everywhere, generally in the pro-audio sections - but i'm telling you, their cables are also rock solid, and often times only cost 25% what anyone else wants. For short patch cables between effects pedals, or if you need something weird like a stereo guitar cable (like I do for the strat - long story I'll explain later) - this is what to get.
