This one is for J0K3RX, because nobody would post samples : a video of an experiment started by this very thread. Although I cannot say it is an AMT clone anymore. I started from the B1 schematic, but with 2SK117 JFETs. Because of too much gain I took out one FET stage. The tonestack is a scaled FMV - I tried some variations, but I don't like it. I made some experiments with the Hiwatt tonestack and the results are promising.
The cabsim is almost the same as here (last post on the page), the only differences being C1, C2 and C4. It's switched by a DPDT mini toggle.
It's working way better at 18V.
I am very please with the results as they are right now. Maybe there are too many treble-bleeds (on the guitar, on the chipamp volume control, and who know where else). The true-bypass idea was definitely not good without a PCB layout to match. And this is the sound of an chipamp into a Hi-Fi speaker, through a PC microphone, and then through YouTube. The real thing is much better. I am really impressed.
On the improvements list I have an input buffer (right now is true-bypass and it oscillates on higher settings of the TREBLE knob), some kind of input level adjustment (maybe a peak detector?) and a buffered Hiwatt tonestack. Maybe I'll keep two JFETs in it, though .

Guys, first sorry for my bad english.
I was checking the excellent posts and liked the Tube Cake, but found some components in different schemas es_gt and KMG. They are:
In the scheme of es_gt, R5 and R8 are 220R, 240R are in zzz.
In the scheme of es_gt, R18 and R19 are 0.25R, the zzz 0.24R.
In the scheme of KMG, resistor R20 is-8R and has the C8 and C9.
Could you explain the differences? I would like to build one for me to play at night in bedroom, but not sure which to follow.

in KMG schematic 8R resistor R20 is a 8ohm cab...
KMG schematic is working one, it's simulated with psspice software and it work...
I have make a layout in another post, you can check it.

all for one and one for all (Jok3rx)
Perfect! Great job!
Where do I find the layout of F1?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards!

Geez you guys really get shit done! Nice work on all accounts, just went through the entire thread.
Did anyone get their hands on the F1/Fender emulator yet? The preamps sounds great direct (on the videos) and all the extras (FX loop, cab sim, etc) are icing on the cake.

I will build this AMT S1 Legend Series, I have looked at the schematic, but there is no value on the capacitor C19, the first capacitor that is connected between Q1 - source and ground in the first stage?. I have tried to figure this out by looking at other schematics to comparing, but it would be good if somebody can tell me with value this cap C19 has, or if somebody can take a picture of the original circuit board and post that here?
Sorry y'all, pictures are a bit sloppy, will hunt out my tripod and take some better photos in better light tomorrow. I'll at least manually write out any component values and will start a proper thread for each too.
Here's what I've got so far if anyone wants a look:
