RE: Guitar Amp Prototype

Very nice. Is that a concertina style phase inverter?

On a Champ and Vibro-Champ I redid for my own use, I bypassed the tone section. I use a Hotbox in front of the amp. And the tone/volume controls on the guitar. Blackface and Silverface Champs and VC's suffer from a midrange too scooped out, for a 6V6GT single-ended amp (compared to the tweed era Champs). Bypassing the tone control helps the mid's and give the amp a bit more gain.

I never messed with the OEM tone control caps or resistors, in these amps. I'd be interested in what TC circuit you come out with, for this DIY project.
