Handwired EL84 quad-driven 30w head based on Ken Fischer's Trainwreck Rocket.


Gorgeous

There's a Trainwreck mod for my Victoria apparently. Does that mean it's based on a Fender circuit?

Maybe it depends on what model it’s based on? The Trainwreck Rocket supposedly drew its’ inspiration from the AC30.

Trainwrecks came with 84s and 34s. There was, I think a 6L6 as well. Important thing is, no two amps are alike. Ken Fischer voiced each amp specifically for its owner. That's next level talent and skills right there.
