It may be a first but will probably be the LAST ! It certainly need s lot of work to put right and bring it up from low to mid-fiThere are no brass fixings and no brass washers . Everyone knows the fixings provide 90% of the sound of an amplifier . By the fixings alone , you may as well scrap it and start AGAIN !!! Surely with a paralleled 12AX7 per channel , you will get the 'choir' effect ? There appears to be an issue with the chassis . It appears to be too big and the top plate appears to be the WRONG colour ! It does not follow the golden ratio either and the sides appear to be made of wood which negates ALL the benefits of a steel chassis . Look at that long run of white wire , the transfer LOSS must be phenomenal . Didn't Dr Halijack tech you anything ? The musical electrons will slow down , may become diverted to other parts of circuitry or not arrive at all causing irrepairable timing errors in the musical signal .
You should have breadboarded first . Never mind... zzzzzzzzzz
