I'm a bit confused about the input wiring on this amp. Photos of the actual amp appear to show two identical inputs that reduce the input by more than 50%:
The schematic shows something a bit different (I think!):
If I use new Cliff Jacks for the inputs, can I simply copy the wiring shown in the photo?
Thanks!

Re: Vox AC-10 SRT circuit questions
I'm intrigued by this amp too and have been reading your posts about the trem and reverb...
Maybe I'm crazy for thinking this but if you strip out the tremolo and reverb the circuit seems to be heavily influenced by a 5E3 deluxe.
Regarding the input jacks it looks to me like the amp matches the way someone drew in the 1 meg resistor on the schematic.
Unless I'm mistaken the unused jack will short the 68k resistor to ground which puts it in parallel with the 1M for a total of ~64K
That forms a voltage divider with the 68K on the other jack which attenuates the signal by ~6.28 dB

Re: Vox AC-10 SRT circuit questions
Thanks for the comments. I decided to implement a Fender-style Hi / Low input scheme to give it a bit more flexibility.
