Mook	Re: Wreckspress Ken told me he's know about various Express knockoffs for years (Apollo, Cally, Bruno, etc.). He said out of all of them, the Bruno is the closest, but also proceeded to say that NONE were as good as a REAL Express. He told me over the phone how each maker (Cally, Bruno, etc) got ahold of his designs and tried to copy them. He even said he's been inside a number of these amps to see why they sound so bad. Ken might not have any legal rights to his own design, but he doesn't have to worry about them, cause they can't build it correctly. My Bruno Underground 45 DESTROYS my Callaham. And my own homemade "Expresso" doesn't sound like either..... Mook PS - As far as the Nedsel Komet, I AM aware there has been collaboration on this project for sometime, but from what I know, it's nothing like an Express circuit. If I remember correctly, the maker, Holger Notzel, said the Komet had some Hiwatt sounds to it.

Ken told me he's know about various Express
knockoffs for years (Apollo, Cally, Bruno,
etc.). He said out of all of them, the Bruno
is the closest, but also proceeded to say
that NONE were as good as a REAL Express.

He told me over the phone how each maker
(Cally, Bruno, etc) got ahold of his designs
and tried to copy them. He even said he's
been inside a number of these amps to see
why they sound *so bad*.

Ken might not have any legal rights to his
*own* design, but he doesn't have to worry
about them, cause they can't build it
correctly.
