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!

my computer exploded!
argh!
so about a day after i posted that last post, my main computer inexplicably died. and not in an interesting sort of way, i turned it off one day and now it would boot - no bios screen either, just nothing, so it's probably the motherboard. boo! anyway the upshot is no updates, and no pictures until i figure out how to get pics onto my laptop without a card reader.
but i do have an update!
the amp is done - and making noise! and good noises too. after a few hours of debugging i basically figured out that the pot network was wired wrong. also, there might be a misprint in the weber 5e3 layout. all's well that ends well, as i finally got it working, but in the process of debugging i disconnected 3 of the 4 inputs, so i gotta reconnect those. also, the volume pots behave oddly, but i don't know if that's because i don't have the whole thing wired right, or if something else is weird, or if deluxes just work that way. Basically, the volume for the channel that's not connected causes the volume to go DOWN as i turn it up! strange....
updates as things get finished....
