Interesting post and I love mine. I'd be interetsed in some of the non-tube and non-speaket tweaking that has been done. My band members love the lead tone but have not given the amp great reviews for chording, they say its too aggressive. They are used to me playing either a marshall JTM 45, twead...

Thanks

Edit: opps wrong forum. Omar you can move this if you like.

So, when I was packing up for the night; I had my clone sitting out. Everyone asked what it was and I told them straight up, "It's based off a Trainwreck Expres...

Drz400, What type of cab and speakers did you use? What type of tubes? Did you use an attenuator? Gut shots? Did you use it in a band setting? Tried V30's in a 4x12 G12M's in a 4x12 1x12 with V 30 and 2 golds in an open back 2x12 tubes ... I tried a few powers, have some NOS preamps lying around, I...
