I am new to amp building experience. I am excited to build but please excuse me for my ignorance...
I ordered the JCM800 2204 amp kit from Ceriatone. I thought it would be a good first amp kit to start with. To save money, I got "package 1" without the transformers and tubes.
Amp:

I am going to use a standup PT instead of the laydown style and had Nik build me a custom chassi to accept the standup PT.
The Question I have is will the following PT work with this kit. I am assuming it will but the wiring (leads?) is different from the layout of the amp. Do I have to modify the layout to get it to accept the PT? If so, does anybody have some advice to what I need to do?
PT Specs:

Amp Layout From Ceriatone:

Also, If there is any other information that I should include let me know.
Thanks for your help!!

Re: Swapping a laydown PT for an upright
Yes this helps a lot. I have updated the layout using your diagram.
http://gallery.me.com/biffen/100257/JCM ... 4147560001
I have a few follow-ups if you don't mind.
1. From your diagram "E" is not needed so I took it off the diagram all together.
2. Does it matter what Heater leasts to F1 and F2? On my new layout I have the Black Heater Lead going to F1 and the Orange Heater Lead going to F2.
3 I assume that I can use either red Plate lead or is there a specific one for each connection.
Thanks for your help.
Also wanted to let you know that I purchased an OT and a Choke from Classic Tone as well. I did a sound comparison and Classic Tone came out on top for me.

Re: Swapping a laydown PT for an upright
The diagram is correct and looks good!
To answer your questions in numerical order:
#1) "E" removed is correct.
#2) No, it does not matter.
#3) Yes, you can use use either red lead
I'm glad we could help and you prefer our transformers!
Thank You!
