My new express (Kathie) is working

Post by KGW »

Hi all. After much investigation, my fisrt express (Kathie) is up and running. As it turns out, I had 2 matched pairs of EL34s - each one with a bad tube. I took the good tube from each pair and plugged them in. Voila!

So, it turns out that I had it right the first time.

Thank you rhinson for helping me degub the amp. I went to a single bias for testing. I'll get some 50K trim pots to give me more range (however, the 20K pots worked fine).

It is starting to warm up here, so I'll get going on the cabinet. I'll post pix and sounds when I get the cabinet done.

BTW, it sounds like the Express clips that I have heard. I LOVE the harmonic feedback.

Here is my original post: https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.php?t=2090
