"When the guitar volume is on 10, this is
the meanest amp I own; feedback swells
into higher harmonics above the note, the
low end doesn't mush out, thick mids yet
clear top end.
When the guitar volume is rolled off,
it becomes one of the sweetest and
jangliest amps I've got."

This is the final version of the Blues Express
amp. The zener limiting circuit was removed
and a modified cross-line MV was installed
in its place. The bias/grid load resistors were
returned to their original value of 220k.
The 2nd stage supply was rewired to B+5
instead of B+4 and the 0.22uF/630v poly cap
from B+5 to ground was drawn in.

The Blues Express Plus adds a "Fat" switch to allow
for more Marshall-ish sounds by using a switchable
.0068uF coupling cap after the second stage. In
the other modes this cap is run in series through a
.0016uF cap which results in a net capacitance
of 1295pF. A center-off DPDT switch was used
to toggle the grid load of the 3rd stage from 56k
to 82k in the two "blues" modes, while dropping
to 45k to cut the gain a bit in the "Fat" mode.
Conjunctive
Filter Switch
The switchable conjunctive filter was used to smooth
out the response of the amp, making the 250pF caps
across the 2nd and 3rd plate resistors unnecessary.
With the .022uF and .033uF caps in series the net
capacitance is .0132uF.
The Smooth switch is a local feedback loop between
the plate and grid of the 2nd stage. The traditional
value of 22M allows for a compressed sound while
the alternate value of 44M has a more subtle effect.

Blues Express Plus
Version A9h
The Blues Express Plus is a radical reworking of the
Blues Express chassis along the lines of more
traditional Trainwreck designs. The conjunctive filter
is the key to getting a smooth response from this
preamp with the output section using the stock Electar
Tube 30 OT; without the conjunctive filter the sound
would be extremely brittle and harsh.

The 3 position Bright Switch is an important control
as it allows for chimey and clear sounds at lower
settings of the volume control. Because of the series
linkage the low capacitance setting works out to 129pF.
I like to turn up all of the controls to 10 (going through
a Marshall Power Brake when necessary) and then
fiddle with the controls on the guitar to get clean,
crunchy or downright distorted tones.

B+5
The Blues Express Plus is a radical reworking of the
Blues Express chassis along the lines of more
traditional Trainwreck designs. The conjunctive filter
is the key to getting a smooth response from this
output section (which doesn't use NFB). Without
the conjunctive filter the sound would be extremely
brittle and harsh. In this revision a split load is used
on the 2nd stage and a switch was added to lower
the PI input capacitance.

Notes on WRECKXPR.PDF
Version Number: Notes
A0: This is supposed to be pretty close to a real Express. Certain rumors were added in
like the parallel coupling caps between the 2nd and 3rd stage
A1 and A1a: These came from someone who has seen the inside of a real Express... and lived
to tell about it. I suspect that A1a is more accurate than A1
A1b: Similar to A1a, but I drew in a possible RC network bypassing the tone stack that was
reportedly seen on at least one Express.
A2: This is probably based on Callaham clone and not a real Wreck. The 50pF treble cap, 1M
treble cap and .001uF/56k cap/resistor after the 2nd stage all contribute to a brighter,
less gainy sound than is produced by a real Express. (It was this schematic that was
originally distributed as the Trainwrecked Expresso.)
A3: This schematic is based on a DIY clone.
A4: This schematic is based on a different DIY clone.
A5h: This is the final version of the original lower gain Blues Express amp (which was
based on the Callaham schematic in version A2). Chimey like a Vox or BF Fender at lower
gain settings, but when cranked up it was more like the Vox.
A6: This was reportedly based on one of Allesandro's amps.
A7: This was a clone built by Voodoo Amps.
A8a: This was an early rebuild of the Blues Express after I added a conjunctive filter to
version A5h.
A9h: This is the final version of the Blues Express Plus. Note that the 47k grid stopper
on the 1st stage and the 100k grid stopper on the 2nd stage have been eliminated, and
except for the various mode switches is closer to version A2 than the earlier incarnations
of the Blues Express/Plus.
