Rocket Yo Yo Yo! Mark Abbott Help?

[Beerman]

I've been in touch with Nik a little with regard to a Rocket Kit. He seems keen, no hesitation and stuff. I am a little concerned however, any advice? Any thing I should ask him about? Can you help me? I've built a couple of single-ended thingies and a 'Wreck will be a paradigm shift for me. Mark, are there any special concerns with AU mains? Thanks in advance for any help y'all can offer.

Dear Graham

Sorry to take so long to reply, the Rocket is basically an AC-30 with a Marshall/Trainwreck power supply.

I built an 15 watt version and it sounded great. I much preferred this amp to the standard Express or Liverpool amp when using a Strat. It had chime when clean and it sounded very big when distorted, I dare say I will have put it together and record it. I should point out that I liked it best when using an open back cab.

I don't think the 240vac mains poses any problems.

I hope that has provided some assistance.

Thanks Mark.

I appreciate that you took the time.

Cheers
