So they sent me E88CCs ?

Take a look at the schematics on this site.

18watt Schematics, etc.

The 18 watt Lite IIB is simple and pretty good. Also Z Phil's 18watt Superlite TMB. Not sure where to find the Superlite TMB schematic. It is a shame that the 18 watt forum site crashed and burned.

Here's a TMB Layout at the Triode store.
I built my 2204 with there layout, haven't used the 18w, but it looks good.

Well. An issue that appeared overnight. I was going test the amp out. Plugged in a guitar, and when I hit the standby switch I got a motorboating sound. I tried every input ,and no input. So I started poking around ,and could find nothing obvious to me. I then started pulling tubes ,and this is what I noticed.

V1 = No change (left it in place)
V2 = Noise stopped
V3 = Noise stopped

I swapped tubes around ,but nothing changed. So, the noise stopped with either V2 ,or V3 out. I'm attaching a link to the sound. Maybe it will help.
