[jeremy]

80s/90s Trainwreck amps are the absolute sh*t!

great question -I think I've heard maybe 3 in my life that I can recall specifically.

2 sounded like extremely tuned and voiced hot bassman style circuit amps like a vintage Marshall, and the other was a super bright chimey affair.

1 was at a studio in Nashville in 2000ish
1 was at a booth at NAMM in 1996 (Chimey one)
1 was at a guitar show maybe 15 years ago.

I've never seen one used for a live show that I can remember.

I doubt you will find anyone who does not like them. Ken was an absolute wizard.

I love Peavey. Both of my bass setups use Peavey amps. But my days of grabbing another amp are pretty much done. If I need low watt portable I have a Microcube or my Picovalve. If I need loud I have my Randall or Spidervalve.

In 20 years of doing sound, I have only come across a few amps that were of the OMG, rare, or next level classification. I have NOT yet seen a Trainwreck on my stage, but have seen a few Komet's ( more or less the official TW clone amp company ). Perhaps the rarest and most exciting to have seen was a full wall of 60-70's era Sunn Tube amps actually used by an amazing Doom Metal band! I have had 1 and only 1 real dumble come across my stage and the guitarist that owned it was worth it too!. There has been a sprinkling of rarer Marshalls and other exotic brands, but of the thousands of bands I have worked with, there has only been a small handful that had the OMG amps we all lust over.

To be honest, what I wanted 10 years ago is nothing like what I want today. So while I can say I would be happy with a few of those amps today, I know that my tastes will change. They seem to every 10 years or so.
