2 watt Express build pix (added clips too!)
Hey'all,
I finished AX84 4-4-0 which is a 2w version of express with 6SN7 output tube and 12AY7 PI. A few pix:

I got it in a local electronic supply store. It's very nice because each panel is removable separately. Doesn't look as good as wooden box but for what I need is just right

I like it.
I think it looks very utilitarian.
Do you know who makes it?

Hi!
Great build!! Are you able to do some soundclips? Very keen on hearing your amp.
That bias adjustement circuit is very ingenious! Liking it a lot!

Re: 2 watt Express build pix (added clips too!)
Finally got a chance to record few clips. All of them are recorded with my Ibanez RG2550 with hi output pickups (Dimarzio Crunch Lab and Liquifire), so these clips are crunchy. I'm yet to try it with my Strat for cleaner sounds. Amp is running into a 8.2ohm 9w resistor as a dummy load and Palmer PDI-09 speaker sim. Cool thing about that is that I can use time based FX and post EQ after the speaker sim. On one of the clips I'm using delay. Other than the Palmer, no EQ-ing is done. Noise level clip has the same riff played at various volume settings with a second or two before and after so you can get the picture of noise to signal ratio. Also, I left few secs of white noise at the beginning of part 2. IMO, it's pretty decent in that regard. Anyways, here are the links

Thanks a lot! Looking forward for those Strat/single coil clips!
Re: 2 watt Express build pix (added clips too!)
Here's another clip to show how responsive the amp is. Amp volume is set around 50% and is not changed, I only played with guitar pickup selector switch and volume knob. Still haven't tried it with the Strat, should clean up even better.
