Its either the presence or treble has to come down a bit with everything else on 10 before the amp is stable. This is the out come on the 4 Expresses I've built.
Of course Id never play with those settings just curious if its doable.
Grid stoppers add a bit of noise into the circuit so I don't use them .
EDIT - Full stable full tilt even with the hottest pickups I got (Classic 57 +) . Must have had the computer near the amp or something.

I’ve heard the Express doesn’t get louder after 5, just more angry and compressed. True?
All that compression has a perceived loudness. Maybe ill pull out the DB meter to test but it will still be attenuated!
Amp is fully stable everything on 10 as edited in my first post. .
And it actually sounds pretty good this way just forget the clean to mean on the guitar vol though with that much gain .
