Hi.Ive built half watt version. It sounds ok. By the way huge thanks for all of the information.
Whats the purpose of the diodes on the power tubes to ground? This Ive never seen on famous layouts and shemes.

See ‘output spike protection’, late on in The Trainwreck Pages.
When I tried it, I put their 0V returns via a dpst switch, so I could easily and repeatedly check for any tonal artefacts / effects. Even with my poor ears, an instant A-B comparison showed that with them switched in, the overdriven tone was smoother, lost a bit of bite.
That wasn’t my preference so out they went.

Re: Liverpool gut shot?
Is this a new TW built by the family? And what is that can opener cut at the rear of the chassis?
Most people stall out when fixing a mistake that they've made. Why?
Re: Liverpool gut shot?
Yes, that appears to be a JM wired amp. I believe what looks like a cut is a weld on chassis.

Re: Liverpool gut shot?
Interesting there's no bright switch on the new ones. I assumed a bright cap was hard wired, but I can't see one there.
Re: Liverpool gut shot?
There is a video by Matt O'Ree where he explains that Ken did not prefer the sound of the bright cap, but added them at his customer's behest. So it is my understanding that the JM reissues omit the bright cap.Littlewyan wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 11:40 pm Interesting there's no bright switch on the new ones.

The irregularities in the chassis at the top right of the picture appears to be the stamped name/identification writing.

Ah yeah I saw that. Did he not also say there was a mod that Ken was experimenting with?Colossal wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 12:53 pmThere is a video by Matt O'Ree where he explains that Ken did not prefer the sound of the bright cap, but added them at his customer's behest.

Wyan, I took the commentary to mean that Ken would put the bright cap in the amp if the customer requested it (and probably as new customers found out about it from existing customers), but his preference was that he liked the amp without the bright cap. I found that interesting.

Re: Liverpool gut shot?
I don't recall seeing a liverpool/express with out a bright switch on the front panel.
I may have read JM wasn't using bright switches to help keep the amps stable.
