Made a bit more progress on my Moonlight Amp build, I was just having a look through one of the cupboards in my bedroom and found a small white cardboard box with some valves in it, in the box were some assorted valves including all the ones I will be needing to build the Moonlight Amp, here's a pic of them:
Sorry for the image-quality, it's the best I can do at the moment, anyway, on the far left is the EF86 Valve, in the middle is the 12AX7, and on the right is the 6SN7GT (I happen to have two of these, from memory they were originally Trigon branded).
Next thing I need to do is work out what power and output transformers I need to buy, since the dimensions of them are going to dictate the dimensions of the diecast aluminium box I will be using as the chassis, fortunately, I happen to know of a website where I can order both from, Evatco, I might even go ahead and order the chassis from Evatco too, as well as anything else I may need.
Now, I've decided that I'm going to make some changes to the Moonlight Amp schematic, and replace the original single tone-control with a 3-band Marshall-style Tone-Stack (more control over the tone that the amp produces), the volume control will then act as a master-volume, for control-knobs, I think I'll go with some chicken-head style ones, and I've got a choice of going with an illuminated rocker-switch for the power switch, or a toggle-switch, but I'm still debating that in my head at the moment.
For those of you interested, here's a link to the Evatco website where you can order parts and etc for guitar amps online:
