The Amp Garage

Hey Guys, As the original owner of this site, it's sad to see this issue still continue. I tried to contact Allynmey hoping to see if I could take back the site and resolve the issue but never heard anything back. That's been a couple of months back. There are a lot of great people on this forum who...

Making things a little tougher is that Omar's original database password was forgotten by him and is making it more difficult to upgrade to the newer version. I'm working with Omar and a PHP engineer to try to get the site updated in the near future. :oops: I feel really bad about this but I dug ar...

You're the guy to finish that guitar for sure!! I'm with you, a single cut junior is just what I want.

Here's what a local guy does with them, you buy the kit and he finishes them for you. Looks like this...

Looks nice. Who's did the finish?

Headstock angle is 14 instead of 17 degrees. The headstock is made from a single piece of mahogany and doesn't have the Gibson 'wings'. On the Precision 59 model, I'm guessing the carve is not vintage accurate. Maybe some other things but thats all I know.

Re: Bulldog Go to the My Les Paul Forum and search for Bulldog. Lots of problems - neck fitting issues, neck angle, tops splitting, quality issues, etc. I have a Bulldog that a friend and I put together. In the end the guitar ended up being better then any Historic I've played but we had a number of...

Maxima Audio?

Very well done video.

Actually it's "Maximo Audio" named after my oldest son. I wanted to name him Maximo but my wife thought it sounded like a mob guy's name so his full name is Maxwell.

A local player who has been using my amps just released a video with his new band and you can see my amp if you pause it at 0:44.

Cool song!

Can't believe it's been 8 years! Time flies when you're having fun! :D Thanks everyone for the kind words. When I started this forum, I simply wanted to have a community for amp builders to share ideas specifically about Trainwrecks. But it has certainly grown into something better then I could have...

Actually, Allyn did most of the work. I whimped out early.

Nice work Allyn!

Wow, that's awesome. What does it sound like? Did it actually replicate his tone? No, I wouldn't say it replicates his tone. It gives the clean channel a more usable, Fender-ish sound, but it's still pretty different from any Fender I've played. The mod, with its scooped mids, just gives the SLO a ...

Yes, it's definately true. The SRV SLO was in Mike's shop when I worked there in 1992. It had a switch on the back that only worked on the clean channel. I have the same mod on my SLO but mine can be activated on both channels. I prefer the SLO with the SRV mod activated.

Guys,
I removed some inappropriate posts. Let's keep things civil around here so I don't have to continue to delete posts or lock threads.

Thanks,
Omar

Tony,
This software appears to be commercial software. I deleted the attachment.

that disclaimer looks like it covers you as the "forum" ..... but not me as the post'ee..... True, but I also think the line about tube amps containing high voltages that can be lethal is also a deterrent (or at least it should be to any sensible person). Maybe a member here is a lawyer and can hel...

Hi guys, If you look in the Trainwreak and Dumble Discussion forums, the Welcome message includes the following disclaimer/warning: Disclaimer/Warning: Tube amps contain high voltages that can cause serious bodily harm. Observe all electrical safety procedures when working on tube amps. The opinions...
