Re: Australians building trainwreck clones???
Hi,
I have been absorbing a fair bit of the discussions on this forum for a while. I ordered some transformers and some relatively difficult to find parts (impedance selector, pots and switches) from RJ of this forum. It was a painless exercise and I would highly recommend you do the same.
I will most likely purchase the chassis from Nick at Ceriatone. I will make the boards from some blank fibreglass boards available from a nice guy here in Adelaide. (He also sells on Ebay AU). The rest of the parts are probably coming from WES components.
Let me know if I can help any further.
cheers
Chris

Hi Geoff,
An Express with Heyboers.
The only other amp I have built is an 18Watt Marshall type.
It will be fun I am sure!
