Express PS board layout measurements?
Hi all, I finished cutting the outer dimensions of my turret boards for my express build and I’m ready to drill for turrets. I searched extensively and was able to find a good pre amp component layout measurement schemo, but none for the power supply board component layout. Is there any measurement ...

Re: Silent Trainwreck!
The hiss involved with high gain tube guitar amplifiers is something you can try and minimize. But it is a battle you can't do much to totally win. See: http://www.aikenamps.com/index.php/resistor-types-does-it-matter And I highly recommend Merlin Blencowe's guitar preamp book which has a whole sec...

Re: Favourite speakers and cabs for Trainwreck amps.
I rarely need to put a HPF on my Express into a 4x12. These amps have quite a bit of low end filtering built into the circuit. That said I often put a HPF on my Fender amps. These amps run larger coupling caps and often need a little bit of HPF treatment. It’s also might be that the open back speak...

Re: First post, first amp build - Ceriatone Expression?
The first Wreck I built was a Ceriatone. I'm a big supporter of these kits because of their affordable price. Realistically though you can build your own Wreck with all the good/authentic parts (Mallory PVC caps, Paific reissue transformers, Spargue Atom caps) in the USA for the cost of the Ceriato...

Re: Favourite speakers and cabs for Trainwreck amps.
Hi, is there anyone out here who’s ever tried using passive high pass speaker filtering in their 4-12 cab with the express? Or measured how far down the express amp reaches in HZ output? I’m a studio rat and during a mix we are constantly filtering off unwanted lows on guitar tracks, bass tracks, ki...

Re: Trainwreck express transformers and pre-build advice
of the amp are here in this thread. It's as much a piece of art as an amp: http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25077&hilit=tw+karen Super neat/tidy build with a lot of good ideas. You can see the bus positioned away from the pots, and so not depending on the pots for a good ground. Also,...

Re: Trainwreck express transformers and pre-build advice
I have two sets of Mallory's from Rooster - why not go with the originals and he's a good guy to deal with. Use quality components. My only experience is with the Pacific transformers and no complaints there. Some folks really seem to like Mercury Magnetics, as well as the Classic Tones which you m...

Re: Favourite speakers and cabs for Trainwreck amps.
Great thread! Forgive me if it’s been covered anywhere else, but how do the new greenback celestions compare to the scumbacks? I’ve been lurking around here for years and I’m finally collecting info and materials for an express, can’t wait!

Re: Silicone conducting?
As far as my silicone comment, I had problems with some of my console channel strips that was isolated to what was believed to be a bad batch of diodes, and later found out to be bad silicone(whatever that means ultimately I don’t know), but the rather advanced tech who figured it out instantaneous...

Re: Silicone conducting?
Nope silicone can't be the problem, silicone is electrically non conductive. ~Phil Well, it seems u have it in for me already judging by ur rather condescending reponses to my only two posts! but contrary to ur assertion, I know as a fact that silicone can cause crackling issue in diodes as I had t...
