Paul, unfortunately there can be no proof provided, as we have absolutely no documentation of what was being used in the studio during this time. We only have our ears to tell us, and dates with which we can make educated guesses. I think it likely that your timeline is pretty accurate regarding what was used for live performances (the studio is a different matter). Sleepwalk, Wonderful Land, The Savage, Peace Pipe & The Young Ones (all of which I am certain feature the AC30/4) were released before "Live at the ABC Kingston". That performance does not sound like a Top-Boost amp, nor an AC30/4. Maybe the first AC30/6 or the AC30/6 Treble? In the end, our most reliable source for telling us what was used on what recording - dependant on our hearing - is our ears. And I enjoy the speculating and discussion. It's another thing that keeps it alive and interesting for some of us.

Hi,

Thinking about my modified AC30CC1 with the added EF86 stage, the way I have wired it
allows me to have 3 AC30's in one box i.e.

With the EF86 in the normal channel an AC30/4.
With the ECC83 in the normal channel an AC30/6.
Using the top boost channel an AC30 Top Boost.

To clarify the above I've used the Channel Link switch to switch
between the outputs of the original ECC83 Normal channel and the
1960 EF86 channel.

Hi Alan,
yes, it certainly supports the timeline you suggested a while ago. If there is no other input I'll put it on Charlie's site as an update.

Hi Amanda,
I have a similar arrangement with my AC15 clone and love the ability to switch between the different preamp configurations.

Regards,
Paul.
