Hi Baltar...

you will like the Espression...

The Express is my favorite amp, Liverpool second with me Strat/Tele...

So much so, that i have sold all my pedals... :roll: tone is so good that i cannot mess with it...

I'm keeping the Express/Liverpool and 5F6-A for harp duties...

All other amps will be sold this week as well as a piano...

I'm gassing for a drum set and an Eastwood Stormbird...

My wife and 12 year old left for me alone on the last weekend...:twisted: and i played with the Skynyrd boys all of saturday. I was in heaven...just me, my strat and espression clone...

An Expression is heaven on earth!

Helo and servus everyone,

thanks for the kind reception.

doing the build is great fun. i'm still struggleing with my pt, which isn't
accurate, but i'm positive about that.

i delayed my tw build, due to my engl chassis was to small and the pt didn't
bring enough voltage.
i put a 5e3 circuit in that chassis which works fine so far. pics of my soldering
desaster are documented on dirks forum ...
