Of course with an aluminum chassis, you can't solder to aluminum.
You need a steel chassis to do that soldering.

Robert's amp chassis is steel.

You are too generous with your accolades, but I do appreciate your enthusiasm. All kudos goes to the many actual geniuses that I have pilfered valuable knowledge from, through the years... :cheers:.

Not only did Sysco put a metro FX Loop into a hand-wired Marshall, he also labeled the FX Loop and bypass switch!!!!!

Well, besides drilling the holes for the fx-loop module, I really haven't installed the loop yet. I'm planning to build and test the amp first before I install the loop. The graphics for the fx-loop was supplied by the Metro installation instructions which offers a downloadable template that is used for drilling the holes and printing a water-slide decal for the labeling. I did forget to print and label the Resonance control, but there's more than enough time for this!
