Ceriatone Plexi51 AllAccess build

[Rotorcraft230]

So I just got today this amp from Nik, I ordered it last Tuesday and 6 days later and 1/2 way around the world it’s here. The packing was awesome, double walled box, plenty of bubble wrap and box fill to keep the contents from shifting. Arrived here with absolutely NO damage.
Great job Ceriatone.

Follow here to watch the build. I will post frequently and will have lots of pictures. It will be a fun build.

Cheers
Mark

Congratulations!
6 days is exceptional for a kit!
As you know, the demand is so great that the wait for a finished product is almost 1 year!
I have heard great reviews about Ceriatone kits as well as Nics finished products!
In fact, I have a Yeti / Chupa on order myself !
Following your build!

I saw the wait time for built amps, that just go to show how good his amps are.

I’m not the player though I build them for my son. I take my sweet time and pay attention to even the littlest detail as they are only built once.

If you ever decide to adopt another son, .... let me know!

Can't wait to see and hear all of them, I'm so happy for you, building it is the extra motivation.

Checked in the parts, everything was there. Installed pre amp and PI sockets, kinda boring but it’s gonn kick in soon.

Started on the heater wires but the band came over to practice. Had to quit for now.

 

[Rotorcraft230]

Got some more of the heaters done, to me that’s the toughest part to get looking really good. It’s not perfect but I’m liking it. Got all the controls bolted onto the front, AC wiring is next to work on.

Can we get a schematic and a layout diagram?
Looks like fun, what are all those switches for? Love it.

[Rotorcraft230]

Heaters ran and HT. Not soldered yet.

 

[Rotorcraft230]

Bedtime, here are more of the AC section getting done.

 

[Rotorcraft230]

still on the PT wiring, got it just about done. The switches by the PT is tight, took some time getting the clearance I’d be happy with but finally got there

 

[Rotorcraft230]

Here is the ground buss, it has 13 items grounded to it. The left side will be grounded to the star ground.
