I suspect the problem is in the center of this picture. Did some major lead dressing yesterday . Very happy with the results . Oscillation is gone, amps sounds fantastic . All I would ask for is a little bit more bottom end on the OD Channel , Bass trim pot is maxed and treble trimpot is minimal .....

Here's my version of that simplified approach--the TNT or Two Nob Trainwreck. I've built one, and another forum member has, too. Great sounding amp. But then, how can you go wrong when Ken's work is your foundation? Hi Rich, I've decided to build this as a Christmas project , I have an Express Clon...
