If I had to guess I’d say that’s def the amp!! In a much more used state these days though. But that’s a good thing right?! Any idea what name that amp is? The re boxed one is still a mystery.

In my spot at the show I had no idea if there was really a TW on stage, but it certainly sounded like it to me.

Hey there, I don’t normally have much to add to the brilliant guys on this forum, but I was at a show last night to see my favorite guitar player and he had not one, but 2 original Trainwrecks on stage with him.
