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

This 1996 AC15 reissue is a Top Boost style valve combo. Both inputs feed one ECC83 input stage and volume, then an ECC83 Top Boost cathode-follower tone stage with Treble and Bass. One ECC83 drives the spring reverb and another pairs reverb recovery with a phase-shift tremolo oscillator (Speed and Depth), before an ECC83 phase inverter with a master level. Two EL84s run cathode-biased Class A from a 5Y3 valve rectifier.
