Does anyone have advice on a layout, in turret board style, for an 18 watter without the normal 2 knob channel?

Thanks for the direction, you know I found a layout but it's PCB, it says variant on 1974X Amp so has 2 12ax7, not the standard 18/Plexi , say like I built here in the past. It's called the Superlite, it's M,B,T,V,G. Yeah, it might be hard finding a layout for 18 watter without the normal channel. Was just thinking about a trimmed down short cab version without the Normal Channel extra wiring work, etc.

There's a lot of layouts and schematics here (looking at them some of them some of the values are whacked)
but general layouts have the basic idea http://rh-tech.org/public/18-Watt/

Look into www.18watt.com
You'll probably find more accurate info schematic wise

Take a Trinity don't use half a triode cut the board down a little

I always thought about doing it the other way around with just the tone/volume circuit and a switchable cascade in to the other triode

option options and more optons :bugeye:

Thanks, I have not been to 18 watt in a year or so...I suppose it's almost as easy to just have the normal channel.

This is not turret board, but I'm in the process of building one of these:

I agree to take a Trinity and cut the board down a little to eliminate the normal channel parts or just dont populate the board and save that for a rainy day!
Most people go for the Normal channel version and drop the TMB, because its so easy to do without the extra stack and cathode follower.
Have fun!
