Well after a long weekend of work, my new Rock Island Express is up and running. Tried to make it like my Maui Express. I think it worked.
Sounds very close to my ears. Have to swap some tubes to tweak it yet.
And no real problems on startup. This is becoming fun now. Love these amps. Hey Miles I think lots of coffee was indeed a key part of the sound formula, also added some iced tea to this build.

That thing's too damn clean it'll never work!!
In theory, theory is the same as practice. In practice it's different.

Just as thumpy maybe better. This one has coffee and tea on the circuit.
Don't tell everyone my secret.

Yes sir, I have purchased from him a few times, from what I hear the guy he gets it from is retiring.
I still have a few other connections for nice cherry.
