30VAC Wiring?

Ok, so i'm building a Neovibe and i've secured all my parts.
I want to put the transformer inside, so I got a minature mains trannie with 15-0-15 secondaries.
I just wanted to check that I could wire 15-0 and get 15VAC to run into the Neovibe rectifier.
Also, can I use the remaining 0-15v line for a second rectified power output (9v for example)?

Is it one secondary with three leads? Or two secondaries with four leads?

Do you have a link or part number for the exact part you have?

It is a single secondary with three leads, hence 15-0-15.

Yes.

No.

If *both* units can share a COMMON GROUND, then you can run the raw 17V-20V DC from the Neo's C25 onto a 9V regulator and get 9V DC up to 100mA or so.

If you can't share a ground because of polarity or ground-loop issues, then you will need another secondary (a different or second transformer).

Yeah, I thought that might be an issue. I'll just go with the simple option this time I think!
