I need to wire a transformer up for the board. I know how to do the hot and common, but where do i pull the ground from?

Gear as of now
Gibson 2017 Les Paul Tribute T
Epiphone Les paul Special (upgraded)
Marshall DSL 20 Head
Peavy Valve king 20 W
2 X 12 Cabinet with celestion vintage 30 & celestion G12T-75
And a lot of pedals

Ground (for CT transformer) should be connected right on reservoir caps joint..
Can't trace well your layout but it looks like it utilizes single supply configuration..
(or else, it's NOT designed correctly and DO NOT attempt to power it..)

In case of single supply, GND is taken from last bottom row (D5/D6 anodes, C16 negative leg..)
