 Thanks pegasus21!
Was just about to do that..

For more read up on the tubes side, the SOHA utilises the 12AU7 type tube or also known as ECC82 tube.

https://www.tubeworld.com/12au7.htm
http://www.vacuumtubes.com/12au7.html

Some readings to keep u guys "gian" first before we start the actual thing.

And btw, do keep in mind that the SOHA is built for budget in mind, the real expensive ones are how high you want to go for the parts itself..

For example, a touch switch that has an in-built LED ring will set u back $32. Yes, and more expensive vintage tubes or high end ones like Mullard Long Plate or Telenfunken ones can cost more than $100.

That being said, it's all up to your own preference to tweak that later but to standardize, I hope that we stick with our DIY Guru's suggestion.. :)

A download pdf file for you guys to read and understand the SOHA concept.
