Joe L	Re: Trainwreck clones --WHich Schematic? I agree with Peter. The Trainwreck's vib is dynamics. You can go from sparkly clean to full on roar by moving your guitar volume on a strat from 7 to 10. I also love the sound of the low parts count. It has a very crisp, immediate attack that comes out brutal when pushed hard because of the order the sections overdrive. Same as a Marshall but you don't have the CF stage compressing things before overdrive of the power stage starts. It's not my style of playing, but I would love to hear some great finger style texas blues through a tele into my 'Wreck. Doesn't David Grisom(sp) play stuff like that? ..Joe L
