Heathkit A-9C preset

Verified · 88/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The A-9C is a Heathkit integrated hi-fi amplifier kit, not a guitar amp. It follows the A-9A layout: 12AX7/12AU7 preamp and tone stages, a 12AU7 paraphase inverter and a push-pull pair of 6L6s for about 20 watts, here with a 5V4G rectifier. A 6L6 power section gives it a firm, clean, full-range voice.
