I'm pretty sure that the Express is just Ken's version of Nik from Ceriatone's "Expression" amp. If you look closely, it seems that Ken almost cloned it exactly and popped it in a hardwood cabinet.

I'm not nearly as funny as I think I am.

Serious. It's funny enough for me to make this reply my first post.

Didn't Ken work for Ampeg during the SVT, V2 and V4 era? Maybe that had an influence?

Take a look at the Bassman AA864 schematic--see any similarities? Leave out the normal channel and tweak the bass channel and you're there. :)
