How loud is the Express?

Post by leadfootdriver »

I read on another forum that dude man wants to bring the volume down on his Komet 60.

How loud do you need to play an Express to get a good distorted tone for lead playing?

The Komet 60 and Express have to be dialed up to get good distortion that is why we use an airbrake or some other limiting device.

:!: Looks like there might be an attenuator in my future then...

The Z/TW Air Brake is pricey! Is it the real deal? 'Lots of others to choose from.

It's one of the official licensed TW airbrakes.

KF made one in a Bud Chassis
Alexandro made a gold one
Komet made one
as well as others.
