I love my home-made 5F1. It's more versatile than you'd think in a "silent recording" setup ie reactive load (schematic available on request) and convolution cab sim. There's a lot of scope to tweak the sound with different speaker IRs.
My usual procedure once I've finished building is to grab a fresh copy of the layout and schematic, and go over every connection using my eyes and a multimeter to walk down each piece of circuit. Verify the proper points have ground, and look for inadvertent short circuits to ground as well.

I'll be getting back into this today after I get my morning chores done around the house. Dogs won't walk themselves, you know.
