Vox AC30 guidance

Post by woolenmammoth » Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:52 am

Hey folks, new to the forum.

Want to try an AC30 build, finally feeling confident in my ability after the sixth amp down. Been diggin through the forum here as well as the internet and am surprised at the lack of organized info in comparison to something like a jtm45.

Anyhow, thinking of getting the weber chassis, can anyone recommend a proven layout and schematic for a three channnel AC30, or at least point me in the right direction to discover this info on my own?

thanks!

I've been preparing to do the same thing. I think the Weber 6v30 kit is the way to go, but the layout they provide is not exactly same as the original amp from 64, but quite similar. I wouldn't trust the layout on the Turretboard site. As nice as it is, I haven't come across any info on builds from this layout.

Also, most of the circuitry inside of an AC30 is for the vib/trem channel, so you might want to just do a normal and topboost channel without the tremolo to start. If you Google Weber 6v30 , there is loads of good reading and pics on it, and most builders seem quite pleased with the end result.

I don't trust it ether :) That's why I stated my amp layouts as a self educational and historical research data. It's good start for your own research, and this is what Amplifier section on my website was created for - Definitely not DIY section!

BTW, as far as I know this is the only full AC30/6 layout online, and while I still supporting my statement we (me and Richard) took hell of the time to draw it right (correct to the traced example) :)
