Re: Francesca vs Schemo

Ah, couldn't find the g/y after that, but makes sense. Last one (for a while); what's the white wire that, in the middle of DSC01122, goes from the junction of the 15k, 47k, and 10uf (not on any schematics) that then runs under the 1k 25w and (as far as I can tell) runs past the big cap block and un...

Re: Francesca vs Schemo

Ah, this is one of those things you would know if you are "in the know".

The pin 7 green/yellow wire goes under the perf board to where?

Re: Francesca vs Schemo

Got it on the first one. Thanks!

How about the two 100 ohmers to ground? On one power tube socket (but tied to the same points on the other pt), especially visible in DSC01165 and DSC01157?

Re: Really Noob question

Doc,

Thanks for the suggestion; have taken a very hard look at the AX84 stuff and am this** close to ordering a P1Xtreme kit. Mind you, I'm still looking at the Express schemos and dream of building one ;)

Francesca vs Schemo

I've been having a long look at the Francesca pics (whoever did them, THANKS!) and can't seem to match up the Kelly and/or A-series schematics around the power tubes. For instance, aren't there supposed to be a 1.5k and .02uf between the power tubes pin 5 and preamp pin 1 or 6, but in pics 1109 and ...

Really Noob question

How much time would it take and how difficult would it be for a newbie to build an Express? I've built stompboxes before as well as the usual guitar mod stuff and cap changes in amps. Never -built- an amp. I'd be looking at trying to get as much pre-built assemblies as possible (such as UR-12's perf...

Re: Hello - Newbie here .. Help with Francesca Parts Please

Have you had a chance to start on your express? Has your list worked out well?

BTW, what is a Two Rock kit? Were they selling off old stuff lying around?

All, is there any consensus on what iron (that is available today) to use for an Express?
