Here it is I have only really built the 18 watt tremolo`s from Ciara tone lay out adding my own tweaks to it along with the Marshall light single channel amp with good turn out. Still kinda a rookie.

The HT current rating of 150mA is more like an 18W PT, and won't be enough for a 36W. You need something like an AC30 PT for this, around 270mA... Hammond 290NX or Classic Tone 40-18050.

ok thank you !!! in my 18 watt builds I use the classic tone transformer. I new I should have went that instead of a cheaper USA transformer. Thank you so much!
