Yet another AC15...

...with no trem channel.

I have stopped being surprised at the guitar player who spends $3,000 on the latest boutique amplifier, and plugs in his Mexican Stratocaster strung with light gauge strings through a Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal.

Good looking amp! Can you tell us about your iron? And show us your schematic?
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Hey, thanks a lot Steve !

That AC15 features :

  - Merlin's grounding scheme
  - KOC test points for power tubes
  - some VOX AC15 HTVH controls : EF86mode ; brilliance switch ; O/P mode switch

Trannies (made by Danbury electronics) :

  - PT : http://livinginthepast-audioweb.co.uk/index.php?p=xfrmrvt1503
  - Choke : http://livinginthepast-audioweb.co.uk/index.php?p=xfrmrvt1505
  - OT : http://livinginthepast-audioweb.co.uk/index.php?p=xfrmrvt1504

They do sound very good to my ears. I'd already built a JMP50 using Danbury electronics trannies & it sounds good as well.
