Title: Expression vs. Liverpull
Post by: oggimyson on December 23, 2007, 02:48:52 AM
Hey,
I don't have a Ceritone clone but one, Express clone, made by Mike Whitney. What I like about this amp is of course the tone but also the fact that it cuts through playing live in a noisy club. I have Matchless DC-30 and JTM 45 clones and these are great starting out a gig but when the place fills up and gets goin' ,  the band starts turnin' up and these amps get buried. Not the TW! So I'm wonderin' if anyone has heard both the Expression and the Liverpull. Do they match up volume wise (talkin' 'bout the Expression with EL34's). Those sound clips are amazing! I would go for one if it has the same ability to cut through all the racket in a noisy joint.
Thanks, Jim.

I love my liverpull.
It smokes!
Sided by side you may hear a difference, but the Liverpull is very "Expressionlike" to coin a phrase.
They both have that Trainwreck sound for sure.
I chose the Liverpull cause it has a little more flexibility then the Expression.
It growls like an Expression, but it can also be cleaned up, where there option is not so available with the Expression.

I think aot of guys go to the Expression for the el34's. I like el34s but i very much like el84s as well.
The volume certainly is not lacking in the Liverpull. But, the expression is more of a monster if thats what you need.
