TW Express (Semi-clone) Build - "FrankenWreck"

Post by MikeSafreed »

Folks, I just completed the build of a TW Express (not an exact physical clone, but a pretty good electronic replica). I have a lot of photos of the build as it progressed, and I started writing some narrative about the build process and why I selected the components that I used. If you'd like to see the photos and the narrative, let me know and I'll post the stuff in the files section. Just let me know... BTW, the amp sound killer!

Thanks!

FranenWreck Link - Pictures & Document Now Available

Post by MikeSafreed »

Folks, here is the link to pictures and a document that show and describe my effort at building what is a near-clone of a TW Express. The document will explain why I did what I did, and the pictures will aide that discussion. Your comments are welcome and would be greatly appreciated. Also, I will post some sound clips later using the same link...

Thanks!

PS - All of the amps I build are named "Franken********" with the last part of the name giving a clue as to the original design, and the Franken denoting that there is probably something different in the new amp versus the original design. It's a company trademark for me - "Franken".
