Bludotone Trainwreck style amp Holly Molly!

So I had this 68' Fender Bassman and wanted a Trainwreck style amp.
I talked things over with a friend of mine, Brandon, or some of you may know as Bludotone Amplification.

I was lucky enough to play on Scott Lerner's Bludo Drive and loved it.
I am more of a higher gain guy myself, and felt the Train Wreck would suit my style better.
I have known Brandon for several years and his amps have always impressed me, so I asked him to do his magic.

Just a few days ago I received my amp.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing tone, and gain and sustain for days. I love the way it creates feedback. But dang it Brandon, now I need a whole new rig setup.
After discussing tonal possibilities with Brandon, my setup got a huge face lift.
Yes I am running a hot plate, mic, efx, and so on, but its tone for days.
Yesterday I added an amp switcher and a 65' Twin for clean.
Ha ha, watch out EJ. LOL (tone, not chops of course)

I am picky when it comes to tone, but my new Bludotone puts a smile on my face from ear to ear everytime I turn in on!

For those that are having Bludotone make an amp for them, you will be amazed at the tone and craftsmanship. Consider yourself lucky.

Way to go Brandon, and thanks so much for "THE TONE"!

Gregory

still trying to get the time for clips.
I can tell you this, it sounds amazing live!
My band mates were amazed on how well it sounded.
Punched right through the mix.

I will try to shoot some video next Monday at band practice.
After spending hours with it I changed the preamp tube for lower gain tubes.
This way it rolls off better for cleans. (not sure what they are but Lord Valve had me try them) I then use a Fulltone fat boost for leads.
Its simply amazing.
I found it funny that I needed lower gain since I have owned, Diezel, Bogner, VHT, and so forth.

After trying out many cabs I also settled on a 2x12.
I tried Mesa, Marshall, Chilly Bird, Bogner, and so on.
I had a Genz Benz that I gutted changed the baffles and put in V30's.
Surprised me but sounded best with this amp.
Still using a THD Hotplate and mic the cab. Post efx for the most part.
AWESOME!!
