Verified · 92/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Cornford Hellcat is a 35-watt, two-channel head and combo with four cathode-biased EL84s. A relay footswitches between the Vintage channel, with its own volume, and a cascaded Drive path with gain, both sharing treble, middle and bass. A valve-driven spring reverb feeds the per-channel master volumes, and a series effects loop sits ahead of a long-tail phase inverter, so it moves from chimey cleans to thick EL84 overdrive.
