How do 6V6's and/or an "American" (as opposed to "British") voiced speaker in a 1x12 cab change the tone and feel of an Express (Ceriatone in this case)?

I just picked up a Ceriatone Express. Is there anything that needs to be done to the circuit or can I jsut drop the YJ's right in as I have on other amps?

Have you attempted to find a schematic for it?

Not yet. I will work on that.

I was thinking of using the octal preamp tubes if I could find a single-ended amp schematic that uses them.

I need to venture out into buildign an amp, not just lurking and seeing all of the cool things you guys are able to put together! I have this old radio chassis. Any ideas on what I can do with it? Maybe a hot-rodded champ? [img:640:480]http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r69/liquidayno/Epiphonetubesc...

--a Mesa 1x12 plus 4x8 open back. It's a weird cab, open back, but it sounds great! Lots of punch and clarity.

I have tried to find a Mesa 4812 cab for years!

That's bullshit that Ebay removes those.

Like it or not, that is eBay policy. Their site, their right.

Couldn't help but think how awesome it would be to do something similar with the sub-miniatures...

2-watt TW/Dumble?

I'm sure JM can build an Express/Liverpool and the bashing has been quite mild on my part. Just waiting for the Express/Liverpool to come and hear some clips. Yeah, maybe I should have said skeptical instead of bashing. Some of it healthy skepticism until we hear some clips and get more info! [/quo...

I still find it funny that JM had to start with the Rocket first because as he found out its the easiest one to CLONE. I don't think this is accurate. Didn't he start out by completing the Rocket that is now at Lark Street, and then building several more Rockets after having his hands on the one Ke...

I also read that Dr. Z is considering making the Z-Wreck a production model. I imagine it would have a pretty good price point too!

Sounds like there are other models coming; Express, Liverpool, and Trem-Rocket all will be available. Maybe he could be convinced to build a Dirty Little Monster.

I have thought about these new Trainwrecks and I think I like the idea. I will point out that they are being called Trainwreck REISSUES. I think that is an important distinction. I also don't think that $4,000 is a bad price for an official Trainwreck reissue, as there are boutique builders that cha...

I still have heard how much Lark Street wants for the 1/2 built by Ken amp. Anyone know?

I found the answer to my questions on the Trainwreck website: http://www.trainwreck.com/?page_id=5 New Trainwrecks??? Introducing the Trainwreck Authorized Reissues. The new builder for Trainwreck Circuits is, like Ken, someone who prefers to remain out of the public spotlight. In respect for his pr...

Since it is not on theier website, and it is a long drive from Seattle, can someone detail more of what this is? It sounds like a "mostly" finished Rocket built by Ken. Lark St. bought it in unfinished form and then who finished and voiced it? How much do they want for it? Anyone near Lark St. that ...
