A few questions from a total novice.

Very wise choice. Classic guitar amps are a safe bet; their sound had to be popular for them to become classics. Let me know if you need more help in figuring out how to modify the AC15 design for what you want to do. You should also think about construction technique.

Thanks a lot, that's very kind. I am currenty working my way through this website that i found > http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/ which will hopefully give me a better understanding of some of the general principals at work in amps.

Looking at the early circuit diagrams right now, i wouldn't even know where to start in removing the Top Boost channel!

I am not sure that site will help all that much with tubes. You should look through the sticky thread at the top of this forum:
On Line Tube Learning for newbies....

If you send me an email through the forum I can email you a marked up AC15 schematic.

Take a look at the Valve Wizard site. It's guitar amp specific.

Best of luck on your project, I'll be following along with interest.
