Re: Express Build Guide
For the record I don't like the Ken Amp being referd to as "Dana's Ken Amp" There was a lot of people who had a hand in building this amp, not just me. Yea I assembled it, but other people tested it, tube'd it, Voiced it, made recordings of it, supplied parts, built the cab, etc, etc. I would rather it be changed to The Ken Fisher Memorial Amp or Ken Fisher Tribute Amp in your documentation.
Re: Express Build Guide
Thanks a lot Ron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is GREAT!!!!
I've downloaded the file and the text is all wrong on my computer...just different letters that make no sense to me...the pictures are ok but...
Anybody has any tips as to why? and how to correct this??
Thanks!

Re: Express Build Guide
Dana-
No sweat, I really didn't even think about it when I labeled it as such. I understand (and appreciate) why you want it to reflect the group effort that it really was.
Allyn, thanks for the compliment.... This was my first from scratch build, and I know that I probably got quite a few things wrong. I'm all ears... I don't have a solid tube amp theory background, so my terms and procedures probably suffer accordingly... I look forward to your comments.
Tubetwang- I posted it as a PDF, so I don't know why you would have problems opening it up.... I assume that you have the latest Adobe reader??

Re: Express Build Guide
WOW, Awesome job Ron. I wish this had been available when I built my Express. It sure would have made it easier! Maybe I'll have to build another one so I can get it correct this time. Thanks for all the effort. By the way--- they could use you over at the Dumble dept.

Re: Express Build Guide
Howdy Ron, Without your thorough build guide to accompany Francesca's pics, I probably would have an assload of flubs before I finished my Express clone.
Great job regardless of the minor niggles. I thought your work on this was superb!
Yep, I just finished wiring everything but the input jack and the AC cord.
I've got the JJ tubes on order for "start up". I'm more than a little antsy to say the least.
Here's to the end of folks asking "where's, how, what's" with respect to Express building fundamentals. All except for the perpetually lazy ones
I suppose. They'll want your "books-on-tape" version.

Re: Express Build Guide
Declan- Excellent idea.. I will make it a foot note so that it shows on every page. Duh, why did I not think to do that... I've written enough proposals to know better
