So I am building a Matchless Lightning Clone into the chassis of an amp I already own. My dilemma is that I am having a little bit of trouble finding the best layout.

So far i have the ones from: Ceriatone http://www.ceriatone.com/images/layoutPic/matchlessLayout/Lightningceriatone_090408.jpg

And a partial from: www.turretboards.com (http://www.turretboards.com)

http://www.turretboards.com/layouts_schematics/matchless/layout_lightning_atom_cap.pdf

There are some obvious differences like the Ceriatone only having 5 Filter caps and the Turretboards.com one has 6. I am sure there are others but since the turretboards.com one doesn't have values filled in...

Can anyone help me find the right one?

do you have a schematic to reference?

I do have a schematic to reference everything by. I guess the question could be rephrased "which is the better layout." Nik is saying that his new layout delivers more headroom and more defined tone.
