Title: Calling Sluckey on AC-15 / 30
Post by: Ed_Chambley on November 22, 2013, 09:07:54 am
Steve,
I downloaded a incomplete schematic and layout when you were helping Barry with a Marshall style layout for a Vox build.  Did you complete it?  If so, can I have it?  It would be a big help with a ongoing design I have been working on.

Do you want the original Visio format or PDF format?

Ed,
How's it going? What are you conjuring up at this point?

Well you know I said I wanted a tube up design with some Vox type things.  I has part of it, but it was only in PDF format.  Visio is user friendly and has some features I will be needing.

In other words, I am too lazy to draw it all in Illustrator.  Especially when I feel this is authentic circuit wise.  There are quite a few different Vox AC-15 variants, plus you know I prefer tubes up.

 I need to use a program I have a better handle on layout dimensions. Visio works well and you can apply measurements to items.  Lots have already been made courtesy of Sluckey and Binwitt.

This thread has a schematic of an AC-15 and (reportedly) an original layout to go with it:

Thanks for the link.  I actually had one years ago.  63 AC30.  It had all the common problems you have heard.  Heat and microphonic tube and so fourth.  I sold it to buy a VW Bus. 

I am not sure how much the perfect layout has on the tone of the amp, but there are problems with the original layout.  Great for a reference.  It is very good work on the layout and schematic.
