The start up process worked fine - I plugged in a speaker, plugged in a guitar, switched it on, took a few voltage readings on the DC power supply rail and the tube plates. Then turned it up and voila! It seems to work as planned! I'm a little surprised, but on the other hand, I did a lot of planning, modeling, and unit testing, so that helped increase the probability of getting to an expected result at this point.

Next is ordering and installing some knobs, making a faceplate, and doing a LOT more playing to see how it sounds in all its configurations. I'll record some rough audio clips and post them in the next week or so.
Here's the front panel face plate template, which I also used to center and drill the holes in the front of the chassis:
