I think it brings out the tone of the amp a lot better than what I had. It even sounds better with less gain.

Great work and nice playing. I have a ton of question to ask you....What caps did you choose, what trany, what kind of pots.... I think that when I return from my holidays in "Peloponneso-Grecia" I'll order the kit to Nik. Thanks a lot.

Dude, you keep that Express sounding awesome! I'm curious about what G12Hs you're referring to regarding that other thread. I've been thinking about grabbing some of the new Creambacks and have been considering the Ms, but you are making it tough for me to choose! :)

I put one of the new H75 creambacks in a 1x12 Rockster variant combo i built a few months back, and i'm loving it! Seems to be a very well-rounded speaker. Sounds fat and crisp clean, and sings well with the overdriven mid-range tones from the KT66s behind the TW preamp.

FWIW, i'm more than pleased with the new H creamback!

Killer! Sounds very thick.

So far my express with 6v6 in it is VERY partial to G12H30. But most of my amps are. It seems after using JBL, Altec, Eminence, Peavey, and an array of others over the last few decades, I always come back to 2 choices - the G12H30, or the blackbacks.

So....what is this pickup?

Be sure your tinfoil hat has a good low impedance ground.
