The Amp Garage

ps: thanks Geetarpicker for the tones that I cant get out of my head. This is all your fault..lol Deja Vu... :D good luck with the build, .... im sitting looking at a million little plastic bags with parts in em, still more to come not to mention the bits i have probably missed. Got a nice piece of...

awww come on .... more people other than Glen must gig their wrecks too, doesn't have to be an original, but of course Glens experiences would be very interesting to hear

A better understanding of its optimum capabilities may be a good reference point for would be wreck owners/builders who may never hear one properly before taking the plunge to build/buy So, leaving aside the more modern need to airbrake, and mic amps on stage, ..... what and where is the wrecks true...

One of the reasons the detuned cabs appealed to me, they are light enough to carry.

just checked measurements, got it wrong, a 1X12 is w22" X d16" X h30"

Ron, this is one area where i will be departing from the formula, so not sure if this will be helpful have you considered other cab options??? If funds are tight after the amp build and you want decent cab consider building a 2X12 detuned Cab. This is one of Kevin O'Connors ideas for cab building. H...

Thanks for all the input. My essential component list is a lot smaller than i had initially thought it might be.

Im in no rush though, my main aim is to do as much myself as possible. If it takes 6 months to gather and assemble parts.... then it will take 6 months.

Casey thanks for all those tips, theres a mine of info in and between those lines i have a very small selection of 12AX7, mainly mullard and brimar, a phillips or two and a few ive never heard of like "willow" which i hope will do the job, im planning EL34's but for my taste the mullards have gone t...

. I'm pretty sure Ken knew what parts he wanted to use,and how they would sound or effect the amp. and there in lies the reason for the question, us mere mortals ... well me anyway, may not have the skill and knowledge to know what to do when you have to make do, .... although i agree there is a lo...

someone should start a "why i build a trainwreck clone" thread and see how many times Glens name comes up...

hes the devil i tell ya .... or at least the Pied Piper

Thanks Ron, You are of course right with the cabinet and especially speakers if you dont have suitable ones, although the more i read the more i want to do myself... dont care if it takes 6 months, and while im no expert, the cabinet work will be done by me Im interested to hear one of these through...

speak of the devil..... looks like you just cost me the best part of $600 and probably more..... and who knows how long to build it with your fancy Les Paul and your Trainwreck :D seriously inspirational video, that touch responsiveness is exactly what ive been looking for in an amp, the sustain and...

Sorry if this has already been asked I am planning to get chassis, board and most components from Nik at Ceriatone to make it as much a one stop shop as possible, however, the following are the components I will be sourcing elsewhere as they appear to be ones not to be compromised on if you want to ...
