So what tubes are best for this amp?
Loz I hope you realise you are now Pest's amp coach !

@Wokka. LOL. That's cool. It's hard to find people who want to have a go at building valve amps and Pest told me he's built a Lamington before, so he knows the deal.
@Pest. For the preamp stage you will need 1 x 12AT7 (you can increase the distortion/gain by swapping this for a 12AX7 later if you like), for the output you will need 2 x 6BM8 and for the rectifier you will need 1 x 5Y3GT. If you want to have a solid state rectifier you can use 2 x 1N4007 diodes instead (I can draw how to hook these up for you - they will also cost you about 50 cents each instead of about $30.00 for the valve).
How about the transformers? Can I use any 15W transformers (both power and output), or is there a specific set that I need?
Hi Pest. You will need specific transformers for this build. I have started a new thread for the amp so go there for more details.
Cheers.

I think that's possibly a typo? built or baked?
Gavmeister
Baked lamingtons in a lamington tray, then used the tray to build an amp, then a mate bought the thing off me!
haha nice one Gav, baked lamingtons
I'm still a few posts behind you Gavmeister, I will have to lift my game !

Not behind Gav for long Woks. You should be head of the leader board before the weekend's done!
Gav. The Lamington is a 15 Watt valve amp designed by Grant Willis (from Sydney, I think) and built on a lamington baking tray. I've made a couple for mates and they're damn good!
OK. In order to see how I put the Knee Trembler together I took the chassis out and took a few pics (I called it the Knee Trembler because it has tremolo in it).
As you can see, there's not much room in there but you don't have to build one that tightly.
