Some folk are sniffy about tone controls, personally after having added a SS tone control to the latest valve amp I built i can't think why, especially if the intended owner is of a certain age.

If it's the first valve amp you've both made it might be best to just build the amp itself, it's less complicated, but then he really needs to sit down and have a think what he wants. Then and again and on the other hand as a first build the acronym KISS comes to mind.
