Like the old saying goes, "google is your friend. But just replace "google" with "youtube". :D seriously, there are a tom of TW videos and they will give you a much better idea of what they sound like than any words will.

Significantly higher gain than Marshalls, and much more mid focused, so a completely different animal really.

Take a listen to Glen Kuykendall's YouTube videos and you'll get the idea.

The Trainwreck amps have a nice punch and distortion, but clean up amazingly well when you roll back your volume. Once you get the hang of it, it gives you a lot more flexibility than a channel switching amp because you can get all the in-between sounds with just you playing dynamics and your volume control... and sustain forever with the right speaker cabinets.
