Express build started.

[jeff12]

Well I guess I was wrong, there is a problem and I have not found a good answer to it yet. After a few hours of playing the Express and switching to the Liverpool I can't tell which one I like better. Both amps sound great, just different.

[jeff12]

Ok, I had to do it. The Austin Express was fun, but it is not mine. Sooooooo I had to make one for myself. This one is the Maui Express. she is all mine. Have not powered her up yet, but I can't wait...
Will have to use back of token on the amp.

Sorry Mark,
Not sure what happened, just started going and could not stop.
I'll try and slow up a bit, "Oh Crap the handle is stuck" what now?????? If it makes you feel any better you should see what I look like after a couple of weeks of work and late nights building amps. SCARRRRRRY

Jeff, great looking amps, and I really like the token badging idea very cool.

I'm with you on which one to play more, it's a battle between express and Liverpool. Both great just a bit different. Now the rocket is a different beast all together.

Faceplate for Maui Express and another amp. Also picture of front with unfinished faceplate. Still have not powered it up yet. Need more hours in a day. Maybe tomorrow????

[jeff12]

The Maui Express is running..... Powered her up tonight and she sounds great. Had a loose B+ wire to v1,but once that was fixed she works fine. Using a pair of Vintage Groove Tubes EL34's, and Mullard, Telefunken, and Sylvania pre amp tubes. Now I just need to pry my hands off the guitar and finish the cabinet.

[Reeltarded]

Slow down. You make everyone but Mark look bad.

[M Fowler]

Yeah it's almost 10am and I haven't had my morning coffee yet

Mark

[Reeltarded]

Oh no.. you built three before your feet hit the floor.

Probably. heh

[jeff12]

Well yea, Less likely to get shocked with your feet off the concrete floor.
I figured that was the normal way to build, you guys don't do it that way?

[Reeltarded]

lol when I discovered the buzz went away when I leaped into the air I put shoes on.

[jeff12]

Maui Express is finished... Slowed up a little for Mark.
She sounds Really good to my ears, quieter than my Liverpool style builds.
That I did not expect with all I had read about Express style amps.
Here are pictures of the amp all done.

WOW - a quiet Express!
Lots of us are striving for what you got right out the box.
Unless your Liverpools are realy noisy...
Well Done Jeff!
