Max, You can clearly see the slope resistor and that the midcap is the same length as the bass cap. This indicates .05uf. No way that the midcap is a .01, it is too long. I do have pics of a .02uf midcap amp btw. The .02 is shorter too. Scott, thanks a lot, I understand. And because the treble cap ...

Mike,you can calculate this here:

you drop the gain about -10dB
by removing this cap

I simply deleted the bypass cap of the second stage cathode resistor,that did it for me, now I can turn the volume to 11... That would certainly do it. Was a change in tone/feel of the amp noticeable ? I wonder how a 5751 or even a 12AY7 in V1 would work in an Express. It seems to me that this amp ...

with my build,I deleted the cathode bypass cap of the second
stage,less hiss ,less gain,smoother sound,you can turn the volume to
ten!

marcos,in another thread you mentioned a transition
model without the cap across the bass pot(in Rock mode)
I´ve tried that in my build

Much more Bass if you want it

Very, nice and clean build! Cannot possibly be your first DIY amp? No,I´ve build a few. I´m running an Amp Repair/Service Shop so there are lots or restauration jobs of vintage amps,but it´s a lot of fun to build one from scratch. This one took me 6 weeks to finish, and best of all,it worked right ...

This is where I bought the cab, highly recommended if you´re located in Germany or nearby! http://www.tube-town.net/ttstore/product_info.php/info/p3427_TTC-Combo-112-Dumble-Style.html Great looking build 8) Did you mount the aluminum bars surrounding the front plate yourself or was it done at tubet...

thank you for those nice comments. the back panel pots are OD master and Treble bleed, chassis mount is done with cage nuts , Burman was a small british company from the 70s it´s probably a relabeled Goodmans. I´ve tried Altec,EV and Celestion 65 and liked the Burman best,the Altec was too bright wh...

There was also an interview with David Lindley It was filmed at Davids house I think. He (I think together with Jac...
