Got my old Kanewreck Liverpool back!!

[michael.e]

I have missed this amp as much as I still miss my X50. I got it back from Procos and she was in as perfect condition as it was when I sold it to him. Even the great tube compliment was still in there. GREAT guy to do biz with.

I have a H30/V30 mix in the 3 Monkeys cab.

Speaking of which, I will have a Sock Monkey in the fold, in about a week and a half or so as well

So good to have this stellar amp back.

 

[Doug's Tubes]

Mark has been buying tubes from us for years.......I had no idea that whole time he was building these gems up until 3 years ago! We have 2 of his Liverpools, a Rocket, and I'm not sure what the 4th one is,....it's in my kids rehearsal studio.

And Michael, I still have that Orange AD50 and JMI AC30 I got years ago from you...awesome amps!

 

[michael.e]

No kidding!! I have oft thought about that AD50! I wish that JMI did not have, for me, a bad buying experience. I would have loved to keep it.

Man, what am I saying...
I would have loved to keep the majority of what I have had!

These Kanewrecks are absolutely incredible.

Be well Doug!

That was a great amp Nigel, a lot of texture & harmonic magic.
Mark builds some great amps.

Thanks Michael - so is yours! I've had a Kane Pool and it was a sweet monster amp - just wonderful!

Thanks Dan for selling it to me!

I went on a Rocket quest started by Hogy. Hogy and I were chatting on the phone years back and he played his Rocket build. It was incredible, clean shimmering sounds with a slight chorusy texture.

I offered to buy it from him but he couldn't sell. So I went on an amp quest to find those type of tones. I've had a Kane Rocket - actually had Mark build me a standard one and a hi-gain Rocket. Great amps but that chorusy thing wasn't there. Everything else you would want was but not that slight shimmer I wanted.

I lucked on Dan's amp for sale and when I got it - WHAM!! That sound I'd spent probably $20k in amps to get - it was there! It's on my no sell list -I just love it. I've talked to Mark several times about it and Mark confirmed it's a standard Rocket. I guess it's just the components aligning to give it the particular magic I was seeking.

It's actually on loan to Tom Bartlett (best Les Paul type guitars IMO) who loves it - even more than his Allyn Meyers built Express! I know they are different amps but that speaks to Mark Kane's quality as the Meyers amps are renowned Trainwreck builds as well

Cheers

Right on Michael!

 

[blownirocz]

Kick ass Michael! I remember seeing your original demo of it and thinking that amp definitely belongs in your hands. Congrats brother!

 

[Billion81]

I have one of Mark's Rocket Reverb's and it does that chorus/phasing thing that I heard on one of Moss's Space Cadet..also a Rocket 'verb.

My Dumble builds from MK are silly too. I need to fire up the Rocket today..

I'll see if I have some pics. In the meantime..Here is a clip I did that was to be part of a series we were gonna do..Still trying to figure that out. Apologies for all the gibberish at the start.

 

[michael.e]

Hey Ali! I will be making a vid of this amp, with my Hanson soon!


That sounds killer Ted!!

 

[908SSP]

My Kanewreck Rocket X-wing...Terrific sounding amp.

 

[Timbre Wolf]

Alex - is that X-wing layout oriented the same as traditional Rockets? I notice it is opposite of Liverpool and Express.

Here's my Kanewreck Liverpool:

[markw1980]

Man, looks like a great setup! Is that a Hanson guitar? I have been intrigued by those.

 

[michael.e]

Great amps guys!

Mark,
Yes, that is a Hanson. Really great guitar beyond the money. I like that it has a slimmer waist than a traditional 335, which, to me, looks sexier. It feels different/more comfortable/less imposing on me than a 335 as well. Very happy with the guitar. It has already become my main gigging instrument.

 

[Red House]

Nice playing!

 

[michael.e]

Nice playing!

No doubt. 0-face rips.

 

[Revpolar]

That cab knocks my sock monkey off! What kind of covering is that - Fawn? did you have a head to go with it?

WOW, more pics please.
