Re: Express into 60w
I know a couple of the guys (Allyn & M Fowler) built 80w versions of the Express :shock: Not something you hear everyday "my Express isn't loud enough" Unless you're playing Che Stadium without a P.A. I'd be more concerned with an airbrake. A buddy set up for ban practice & unfortunately pointed 2 4...

Re: David Root
Awful news. David was an innovator and a genuine good person.
He was TAG personified and I will miss him.
Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Re: RI 1959 SL100 'handwired repro' - odd socket pin numbering
Never seen that before. Very nice amp nonetheless.
There used to be a long waiting list when Marshall started offering "hand wired in the U.K." amps again.
Go figure...

Re: Tone switch for Dumble Style Overdrive to smooth out..
And that's called Great Service.
One of the few amp builders who stand behind their products.
Much respect Andy.

Re: Cabinet Finish
A tip I got from our missing brother Tom (Structo) is Tru Oil.
Easy to apply, short drying time - 4 to 6 hours & you can get some stunning results with multiple layers.
Don't use this if you have OCD tendencies...

Re: Preferred Filter Cap Brands?
I'd just re-iterate that F&T make me feel the most confident. I do look at the data/spec sheets. Then I measure every cap for tolerance & esr. Another handy trick is to use thermal imaging during burn in. Surprising what can show up. Little Flir camera plugged into my iphone. :wink: In the end you p...

Re: Preferred Filter Cap Brands?
Yup - F&T for axials & Nichicon for radials.
I've made quite a few amps with other brands (even Chinese) & never had a problem.
But that niggly doubt in the back of my mind persists. F&T & forget about it.

Re: Conversations with Ken....
Thanks so much for sharing. There's some new (to me) info there.
Asides from the genius, it's the caring / giving nature of Ken that is evident in the recollections of those who were lucky enough to know him.

Sage advice from Martin. The Express circuit is on the edge of stability as is.

Thanks or sharing.
380 B+ - works wonders for Marshalls using el34s.
Most of the Express info indicates 400v or so.

I remember seeing it. May have been Glen K - geetarpicker - that posted it.
I thought I had saved a copy, but a hard drive crash reminded me that it's always a good idea to back up regularly.
