I do shop with rj just didn't recognize that board to be his. I will send him an email for a Express board set when I get closer to starting on an Express.

I used rjs Edcor PT tranny for my Rocket build and that is one nice amp.

I just ordered a set of boards from him along with a chassis and misc. to go with a set of Pacific transformers I got from Allyn for my express build, here is a pic he sent me...

Just a quick follow up, I just got my chassis/boards from RJ today, very very nice job... Just a couple of the nice features include welded corners, imprinted labels on the face and back of the amp (Impedance and speaker labels, 'V' 'T' 'M' 'B' 'P', etc...) welded-in nut-serts for attaching the amp to the head cab, and flushed screw heads where they may come in contact with the transformers. Very happy with the chassis and boards, thanks RJ!

Looks good and I bet you are having lots of fun with that outfit.

Now that you have had the amp fired up for some extended periods have you noticed any changes in tone or overall function of your amp?

I could be an idoit here but I think mine sound better every time I get a chance to play them and that has been a long time, they are still packed away, maybe next week.

Does that ghosting happens with every guitar and different speaker cabs as well?

Yes, and from what Glen K said in another post even his original and very accurate clones have some ghosting. Did you read that post?
