In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird , and they take Prozac to make it normal.

Toneslut trannies are pretty much the standard by which others are compared.I have used them in two Express amps and I used their PT in a Rocket. Excellent stuff.

Those trannies on craigs list would be good for building a Dumble SSS using Fender twin four tranny set but not for a Trainwreck. Use tonesluts Heyboer or get a set of Pacifics from Allynmey or set of Edcor from rjguitars.

Thanks Mark,

I've got a good start on an Express build with Edcor trannies that will be the first use of these trannies in that amp (as far as I know). There are a hand full of Rocket builds out there using Edcor trannies with favorable results but the Express & Edcor combination is still an unknown. I'll post up the results and allow myself to be the guinea pig for field testing them.
