my case so far
Quarter-swan oak and birds eye maple veneer on the front panels and plate

ask Jim in lower listing, he may be selling

I have 2 small amps with this built in (5w and 10w),
it is reassuring, probably harder to do for bigger amps

AFAIK there is another issue which is that someone might plug a speaker in while the amp is on:
as the jack goes in does it momentarily short the ground and tip Probably depends on socket design.

in terms of sound they are much more different from each other than modern amps with a bright channel or switch.
The channels interact quite a lot, e.g. when using one of them, turning up the other volume control drastically changes the EQ curve.
On one channel, turning up the tone, the tone rolls off again after 3 oclock, whereas it works as normal on the other channel. these were early bugs in the fender design, which are enjoyed as such by most vintage gear lovers. You can fix these to more resemble modern amps, I found a few fixes when I searched to understand this. I've left mine as-is, why have all your amps work the same way?

see Topic: Volume controls are like toggle switches, to see how controls work

Choosing one of these 2 channels will vary with guitar, mood, day of week.
You can use both at once, but it adds some noise

I never heard of the DC15, does it switch one valve off for half power?
is this the Creme Brulee? I thought the Creme brulee had only one of the 2 DZ30 input channels, so a DC15 would be somewhere in between

I ordered one on June 6th, it is ready now, but I ordered 3 amps at once, so you might get it a little quicker

sounds like a 1960s Stereogram, some of the TWs are reminiscent of that style, like my grandparents had, there were loads in England.
Can you buy one and gut it, and hide the amps and speakers in it?

master volume should work better if you get VVR too

Most attenuators only work well for the first 2 clicks (-4dB and -8dB normally), the THD ones sound way better than the Marshall one (can re-add the bass and top)

For live, Probably best to use VVR+PPIMV a little, + THD hotplate on -4dB or -8dB

For studio, Iso cab it

I am getting a hardwood case made from figured wood.
Has anyone got any photos or advice for me?
thanks

hi
has anyone had a TW-looking case made for the TW express?

I am getting one made, and I'd value tips / measurements, etc

Can you get knobs with labels on them? would that look wrong?
Is birds eye maple good? is the control panel and front best done with veneer or with full thickness wood and then cutting a strip of it thinner for the control panel?

thanks
Tony

here's a really good calculator
http://www.dutycalculator.com/calculation/

but really, for the UK it comes to near enough to adding 20% to the cost incl delivery (you pay VAT + 2% or so duty)

The easiest solution is to use some tracking software, as used in the software industry
use this for free:
http://www.bugzilla.org/

you can configure it to send emails out etc

tbh though, I don't mind the personal touch if Nik can handle his workload

Cheers

Nik does do VVR if you ask

There are always people who will get bitchy, especially if they regard the price they paid for something built in the US as a badge showing how serious they are about music. AFAIK no-one has a better reputation than Nik.

Nik, Just keep doing it the way you know is the correct way....
I couldn't find any genuine-sounding negative reviews anywhere

Cheers
T

which amp are you referring to?
