Hey Guys,Just started my Liverpool build.If you look at the main TAG
layout the heater from V4 pin 4 goes to V3 pin 9 correct?It almost looked like the black wire hits Pin 8 on V3.Dont want to mess up at this early stage.rj sent me some really nice parts.This amp will be my 3rd TW style.Express and rocket are really nice sounding,My name is Michael and I am a Ampaholic.

Thanks Bro,Ill keep my progress posted with pics.Surfsup,Would you think a larmar master vol would be a good choice in the liverpool.I havent put any Mas Vol in these amps yet.I put the larmar in my Metro plexie 50.It sounds OK.Just wanted your opinion on that.Thanx Bro

I put the VVR in my Liverpool and I really like it but I am not trying to get cleans out of mine. You may have a little more felxibility with a master volume if you tweak it right. Otherwise, you will have gain and then more gain.

VVR is pretty easy in a LP because it is cathode biased, so you just drop B+ and everything balances out.

Never built a LP. Built the x10 clone which has a "similar" circuit but not the same. The mv there works great. Starting to think a vvr might not be necessary and might pull it out and just use the mv. Take a look at that schemo that colossal pdf'd.

Well I finely got this amp in a cab,Now its fun time!!!I did have a couple issues but mostly tubes and a bad solder or two.I did have a nice matching faceplate in red but it managed to blow up in drilling the final hole.So the old plexie glass and drumskin pulled me through.Anyway I wanted to follow through with the post and show off the end result.This was a leftover cab I made a long time ago so I put her to good use.Does anybody know if the trainwreck knobs come in red.I know the bigger ones do but I really like the smaller ones rj sent me.Thank you rj for putting the materials together and sending such a nice package to work with,Mikey

How about a gutshot Mikey!! How does she sound? How does it measure up to your other Wrecks? Nice job!!!

Well done brother.

MIke,
I'll try to call you tommorrow so I can talk you into talking me into building a Liverpoole.

It is kind of manditory to build all three isn't it?
See....I'm starting already!
