Did you ask Ceriatone?   It would all depend on what you wanted them to do. Other than some different spec trannies I am not sure that I would want to mod a TW clone. Unless you know something that the rest of us don't..... ;D
What did you have in mind?

Mainly a PPIMV....

But I'm open to suggestions, too.  ;D


FYI:  I have ZERO building skilz.  I have an iron, and the last thing I used it for was cutting plastic!

Just wanting to see what my options are. 
Is an express heavy enough for Tool/R.A.T.M./A Perfect Circle/Pearl Jam/Primus....(NOT teh KRUSHING Br00()TALZ!!!!1!!)....or would another amp be more suited to this style of music? 

I know that RATM (Tom Morello) used a 2204...but I never felt "tone" was his strong suit. 

Can anyone point me to some clips that AREN'T some old guy noodling around? :o  I'm old too, but I try not to sound like it. 8)  Anything "modern" would be VERY helpful. :chairdance:


Was also academically wondering about having 2 master volumes.  One "pre" and one "post" Phase Inverter.  Is this possible?

And I can totally live without "Presence".




Academically:
Is there a 6V6 option?
Is there a KT## option?
Is there a 6L6 option?
DC powered heating filaments?

Other than Pearl Jam, I am not familiar with any of those bands. But I would still have to say that you are looking at the wrong amp.  A MV on a TW clone is kind of like installing a smog pump on a 1969 Camaro. I think you already identified the better amp for you. Either a 2203 or the 2204 would be fantastic. They are both available with a PPIMV. Just send Ceriatone an email, Nik will be able to help you much better than me.
Good Luck

you can pop in 6v6s if you rebias. kt88s are fine as long as they don't dray to much  current. should work.
