The tubes are generally mounted on the chassis in sockets away from the circuit board (its hard to mount and wire the sockets on a turret board, although some Printed Circuit Board designs do this.) On my amp, the tubes go on top, if you check out some of the much earlier posts you will see the chassis shown the other way up and you can see the tubes and transformers.

Anyway I thought it were more convenient to mount them separately like you did, so that if one of them blows, you can easily replace it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
