AC15 clone

6/3/1999 5:18 PM
chris	AC15 clone I'm trying to build a vox "AC15" clone out of an old PA amp (already 2 EL84). I used the AC30 TB preamp wiring (schematic from tube amp book) and left the power stage as it was. Problem: awfull sound overdriven. The phase splitter has only about 120V on the plates. I don't have a coil in the power supply, so a 1:1 copy is not possible. How do I have to wire the power supply of the phase splitter to get more voltage on the plates? Thanks in advance for any answers. chris
