I would suggest you build more trainwrecks. Smile Try the Rocket.
Mark,
I now realize you can't build just one . Maybe a 5e3 tweed deluxe, ODS and/or an 18-watt would be nice also. Or I could save money and buy a ready-made Alessandro, Cornford or Bruno - but where's the fun in that?

I have to say that the Eminence Delta Pro in a closed box is what works best for me...
Interesting choice. How did you decide on that one? I didn't see any sound samples for it on the Eminence site.
On another topic:
When I was debugging the TW liverpool I had a problem with oscillation that sounded like a trumpet or trombone. It was affected only by the presence control and it went away when I disconnected the feedback signal. You probably guessed already that it was caused by positive feedback instead of the intended negative feedback. I fixed it by swapping the phase of the final output to the output transformer (and re-connecting the feedback signal of course).
Very nice build Dave, especially for your first!!! The cabinet came out clean, good job. This is my first post here, been "lurking" for a bit and just wanted to give you some props. I only recently came across this site and immediately decided i was gonna build something like an express after seeing builds like this, as soon as my current project is done that is...

Welcome to ampgarage and keep us posted on if you decide to build an express.
Thanks Mark, it's funny, I made a will call order last night and stopped at Mcmaster Carr this morning to pick up some more garolite, I changed my current build's layout a bit, I like KF's power supply board and filter cap set-up so my current build will now be similar to that. I have 100 turrets on the way and enough garolite left over to start "my express"... This hobby is addicting...
