New Amp up and running
Well after a long weekend of work, my new Rock Island Express is up and running. Tried to make it like my Maui Express. I think it worked.
Sounds very close to my ears. Have to swap some tubes to tweak it yet.
And no real problems on startup. This is becoming fun now. Love these amps. Hey Miles I think lots of coffee was indeed a key part of the sound formula, also added some iced tea to this build.

that wiring job is awesome, i would put a pic of it on top of the cab as to see inside, a shame to cover it up.
Cheers Craig.
