I'm new to this forum,and would like some input if possible. I've been on the 18 watt forum for 2 years and absorbed much info on amp building.I also attended an amp building seminar [ Graydon Stuckey's 1st.] last year. If you can attend ,it is a great experience and well worth the tuition. After attending, I have built two 18 watt amps from scratch, and a Tweed Deluxe kit from Torres Engineering. Three great sounding amps. I play a 1989 reissue of a 1956 Goldtop with P-90 pups, and a 1989 HMM Strat {great guitar for the money].
Now, I just picked a copy of Tino Zotolla's "Building Vacuum Tube Guitar Amplifiers" vol.2 , and would like to know if anyone here has built the AC-30 early 60's model from this book?
The Vibrato circuitry is left out, since it is not used that much. It has a Top Boost Mod, which provides treble and bass controls on the bright channel.
This 30 watt amp dates back to the early 60's and consists of a 12AX7 preamp, 12AX7 mid amp, 12AX7 phase splitter, a quad of EL84 power push-pull amplifiers and 5AR4 rectifier. I will be using Mercury Transformers and Choke!
Nice to be here, and look forward to the input!

Havent built that exactly, but the 30 watt lightning is close. You could use a layout from the TC15 & adapt that, or the DC30 too and Doug Hoffman has an AC30 circuit as well you can look over.
