I am in the process of converting my rig from an Express 5:50 1 X 12 combo into an Express 5:50 plus head and 1 X 12 cab; my default cab choice is the 23" widebody Lonestar with the C90 speaker. Before I commit to this cab, I wonder if anyone running an Express 5:50 has ever found another...

I am thinking about acquiring a separate cab to play my Express 5:50 through, and could use some advice re the various options out there. Pros & cons associated with: 1 X 12 vs 2 X 12: Open back vs. closed back, vs. some hybrid of the two: Speaker choice(s): Anyone reading this with relevant...

Yep, I got the rattles, seem to resonate at select frequencies. Amp is on a stand. So I figure: 1. Time to replace the power tubes 2. Time to acquire a couple tube anti-rattle devices from Herbie's audio (on order) 3. Time to think seriously about acquiring a separate cab have I missed any...

Does anyone have any settings they like to get the 5:50 Express in the ballpark of a an overdriven Fender Bassman? Scott

Trying to dial in some overdriven sounds I like while running my 5:50 express in 50W mode has proven elusive. I should mention that I'm doing this in a 12 X 12 room, playing a strat. Cleans are awesome, but every hi-gain tone I've found so far seems brittle & harsh by comparison with what I...

Can anyone reading this recommend an overdrive or distortion pedal to use with the Express 5:50to get vintage high-gain Marshall-like tones (think early EVH or 1970's Zeppelin)? There are so many units out there that claim to capture those sounds, and I am not in a position to spend a lot of...
