Obscure Trainwreck derived circuits?

Post by Mark »

I was looking for the Z Wreck circuit and couldn't find it. I saw mention of the Rockster Reverb and Norms Rocket variations, however, I can't say I've been able to find all these circuits.

EDIT: I found some circuits that were in the Files section.

Normster's Reverb Rocket. Look down the page, Mark Fowler has the circuits and layout.

I guess this qualifies as a TW variant - the Talon amp was designed by Gothik Amps, a sub-group of the AX84 forum, about 10 years ago.

The preamp is pretty much straight TW.

The rest is kinda wierd but nice - the sound is very Wreckish but also kinda smoother.

(I hate describing tone :x )

I posted about this little one-off build I did back in 2009, where I gutted a Pro Jr that was EOL and concocted a custom circuit for it. I never drew up a schematic, but wouldn't be too hard to replicate. It's basically a Liverpool/Express preamp (more Liverpool value wise), 5E3/AA 964 concertina PI, and cathode biased 6V6s. Power supply is Liverpool/Express. Used 6SL7s instead of 12AX7s, with DC filaments for those only. Also has a Lite IIb style tone control. Turned out to be a beastly little thing. If anyone is interested I can attempt to create the schematic for the one decent photo I have of the guts and by memory.

Here is the only clip I have of it as it went directly to the client a few days after this. Said client still uses it for recording and certain gigs.

I have not experimented with these circuits but thought someday I will.

The AES PT-31 is still available https://www.tubesandmore.com/search/node/pt-31
