Steve Keay | AC30 trany layout Hi,, Could anyone with experience laying out a DIY AC30 please give me some advice/pitfalls to watch out for in laying the tranys, choke, and tubes out so I can avoid any unobvious problems??? I know the power trany gets pretty warm on these amps but does it radiate EMF at all??? How about the OT??? I have no room to spare so every sqaure inch counts in this case. I have a preliminary layout and have a couple other options and the warmer components appear to be spread out enough. Is there a problem putting the output tranny within inches of the pre-amp tubes? How about the EF86 tube. Is this more microphonic than say a 12ax7??? I am installing a fan but this is all going in a fairly small 1-12" oak cab so I want to be sure of cooling... Any and all tips very appreciated... Steve K |
