It's a small chassis 35 cm wide, but I can fit it all in there.
So ac15 or jtm type of circuit?
You have to get the feedback right, a variable pot would help with that.
Looks like it could be a fun little amp
You can hear it cranked up in this video, but it does amazing clean tones too

I'll give that a go, I'll probably need to adjust feedback and maybe the power rail nodes a bit.
Lots of options but with a 275-0-275 PT and GZ34 rectifier you'll get a B+ of approx 375v at the reservoir cap, assuming three preamp valves.
I'd do an 18w JTM with Reverb, easy.

The OT is 8k primary around 18w: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265238831413?hash=item3dc1776135:g:RGQAAOSwAPZg-Uz2
@Rich210 - not something I'm considering as I already have a Magic vibro prince

Thanks to the guys who suggested fenders as well. I live those circuit, but I've got them covered already.
Merlin's preamp book has some suggestions to reduce blocking distortion which i might incorporate. Mainly they reduce bass and change the phase inverter bias.
If I can bring myself to drill another preamp tube hole in the chassis, I'll add reverb with the reverb recovery stage going into the second PI input. I hate drilling chassis though - too much hard work and concentration required!
I should just do it.
