Re: Fullsize express with attenuator vs lower wattage variant
I have a 4-4-0 and like it very much. However, several folks have mentioned they prefer the pentode sound vs. the triode sound. One of these days, I'm going to build a 6Y6 Express. Got the parts years ago from RJ; just have had the desire to get some other stuff made first. Jonnyreece - I also got ...

Re: new pacific transformer budget series called "red"
Hi Vince. I used that Hammond 6.6k OT for my Liverpool build. Sounds great to me. I have a Pacific 6.6k OT I got From RJ in my Express a few years ago but, the Express never got played because of the volume, so I scrapped it. I used that OT in KT66 Rocket reverb build. Sounds fine to me I built an a...

Re: 2024 Monkeymatic Liverpool (nontraditional)
Hey Aaron, I just built my Liverpool for the second time. I used the 68k instead of the 150k per Miles suggestion. Mine has the high gain hiss but No extra noise. I also can crank the amp to 2 than after that it’s way too loud. I guess these amps are like the express as a lot of the volume comes on ...

Re: Building a mini Super Lead with 4 x EF80
Here is a great example, which I built from the schematic provided by Randalp3000
I love the amp and play it all the time. He or me didn’t use ef80 we used 6aq5 s which are like a 6v6 but with 7 pins

Re: 2xEL84 Rocket
Hey Ryan: Glad you are going with the full Rocket. I love mine and there is a fullness to the sound over my 15 watt amps. (although I built Sluckeys AC15 with reverb and its one of my favourite amps). I have that Heyboer OT in my Rocket but I got if off RJ and it wasn't as costly back a few years ag...

Re: Rocket build
I just looked at you PT specs At the Pacific websites and this PT does not have a 5volt tap. You would have to use SS rectification. Rocket amps have a tube rectifier. Your OT has a 7.5k primary. Rockets typically use a 4k primary I imagine your transformer set is more suited to a Liverpool. I guess...

Re: Vibroverb 64 issue
I would start with installing a new preamp tube in v1 and moving on if the trouble stays. You can also strum hard and see if any tube shows fireworks or no heater light. These are good non intrusive first steps.

Re: New 12w Liverpool build
thanks for the info. I looked on Mouser and saw the vector boards there, I didn't think these were still made.
I have an Edcor PT with 270 0 270, so I'll use that.
again nice build

Re: New 12w Liverpool build
Wow nice job! I like your boards, where did they come from? Your cabinets are very nice too. I built a 6f6 Express, it’s amazing how loud these smaller tubes sound in these circuits I have 2 sets of these 6bm8 tubes, I think I should copy you but build a small Rocket. I have the iron as well. What s...
