Heathkit AA-13 preset

Verified · 86/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The AA-13 is a Heathkit hi-fi amplifier kit, not a guitar amp. It is a 14-watt mono tube amplifier with a 6EU7 and 6AU6 preamp, a 6AN8 serving as voltage amp and split-load phase inverter, a push-pull pair of EL84s and an EZ81 rectifier. Its small EL84 output stage gives a clean, sweet low-power voice.
