I had the amp on for a few hours. Just to see how it would stand up to heat; I'd play it every once in a while, put a Fuzz, Compressor, Phaser etc, through it. Isn't this what "burning in" an amp is really? Couldn't really turn it up. Anyway, how hot is too hot for a power transformer? It was hot to the touch but I could leave my hand on it without burning myself. I believe I read somewhere transformers are not really supposed to throw heat.
Thanks guys.

The amp is also a little hissy. Nothing huge but....

The PT is over spec'd for this application so there should be no problems. If it was too hot too touch I'd be concerned but trasnformers do give off heat.

As for hiss, the carbon comps are the cause buut you would not hear when playing the amp. Just between.

Thank you.
I'll be asking about a thousand little questions until I feel completely confident I built it correctly. So far so good though.
