The Amp Garage

Hey, the Bud chassis is a AC-425 and the bottom plates are the BPA-1520. As far as I know the bottom plates are still available from different vendors. The chassis are tough to get though. I was lucky to buy several back when you could still find them. The AC-412 looks to be the correct length and w...

Looks good!

I'm still a fan of classic cherry, and if you are after something with more figure or flame, curly cherry.

Looking good!

I thought I'd take a few voltage readings of my 1989 Express that many here are familiar with via my CD and/or Youtube videos. This sort of data is nothing new here, but I thought folks might want to see what's up number wise with this particular original Ken Fischer built Express. I took voltage r...

Got it put together and fired up, now some time to wring it out! https://ampgarage.com/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=66974 https://ampgarage.com/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=66975 https://ampgarage.com/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=66976 https://ampgarage.com/forum/download/fil...

It looks like you're well on your way, congratulations. I'll be watching.

Got the chassis finished and test fit the faceplate and cabinet as well as bolting up the transformers. I should get started building soon, possibly tomorrow. I'm pretty stoked and looking forward getting the first one done. http://ampgarage.com/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=66931 http://ampg...

That is a high quality build, nice clean work. I'm looking forward to updates.

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate all of the work done here by many folks. It's a treasure trove of information and discussion.
I hope to get the faceplate and control panel together and then get started on putting the amp together.

I don't know of Prudence having an on board attenuator but could be wrong. I understand that amp belongs to John Mark who now builds for Trainwreck. I believe it was loaned to Matt for some videos.

Very interesting story behind the amp. It was not my favorite tone, although I don't think the single coils in the strat showed the extent of the amps potential. It sounded to me as though the amp may need some attention.

The boards in the linked thread should be .092 perfs on roughly .260 centers so are probably just what you are after. I have some of that board material and original clips so will probably do some building with the later used materials in the future. It is curious that KF didn't use turrets with thi...
