Re: Ken Fischer Express/Liverpool mods
I'm also corn fused about the para caps. I think I see where but I'm not saying because I don't want to be stupid.
(and my opinion R7 should be 33k-56k and 68k is end of the line because man, that's just too insane)

Re: Ken Fischer Express/Liverpool mods
Sorry I misread. Its only two 2nf caps connected to the 150k at the second gainstage

Re: Ken Fischer Express/Liverpool mods
Yes, that second 2n2 fattens up the low end significantly. May be too much for some or just right for others; season to taste. Apparently, Ken was (fond?) of mixing dielectrics there, hence the Mallory PVC 2n2 polyester in parallel with a 2n2 ceramic cap. The 150k to ground grid leak can and should be adjusted by ear. Martin used a trimmer there on his modified layout Express. Reeltarded notes that 33-68k is a great place to be with his Liverpool.
Re: Ken Fischer Express/Liverpool mods
I like 2n2 with 150k and 3u3 cathode caps on v1 for tight bass

Re: Ken Fischer Express/Liverpool mods
Something I never asked you, Roe. What guitars are you playing through your monsters?

Re: Ken Fischer Express/Liverpool mods
Who makes the replica that you use?
Do you use old Gretsch guitars or new ones?

Re: Ken Fischer Express/Liverpool mods
Wow, that white penguin is super-rare. I only have a Malcolm Young Gretsch with tvclassics. Its good but the neck is a little difficult.
I have quite a few of the high end tokais, the permium series, that are hard to find (LS320 etc). And I have 1974 Burny FB120 firebird V replica and a nice es175 (made by the obscure Shiro factory). For fenders style guitars I prefer partscasters (and the EJ strat). I also keep a hamer singlecut korina special and PRS DGT.

I love love the 70s Ibanez stuff. I bought an Artwood Twin last year to tie up the money. Hard to untie the money now. :/ oops

Re: Ken Fischer Express/Liverpool mods
yes, the old ibanez stuff is excellent. I tried several 70s es175s by ibanez that were almost identical to my shiro es175. The early burny stuff is also very good. I have sold all my gibsons and keept a PRS, Fender, Collings and Gretsch (and an Epiphone!)
