Steve,

Is there any chance that you would offer an kit version of your
preamp? I would love to rewire a channel of my Traynor YGL-3 (Fender
twin) to be properly voiced for my Voce V5 w/a transformer coupled
output stage. There is plenty of room in the cabinet and at least 3
preamp sockets plus vol/mid/treble/bass controls.

I understand that you need to recover R&D costs, but I wouldn't
hesitate to pay ~$100 for parts+schematic, or ~$200 for a partially
assembled solution (tagboard + wire leads to tube sockets).

Thanks,
Ben
