Geartorial S1:E1 - From the Beginning - Trainwreck Amplifiers

[@scottdunn2178]

I knew Ken since 1988, his knowledge was unparalleled. He was such a cool dude, he taught me everything I know about amplifiers. I sure miss him.

[@MOBontv]

For sure was a genius! Missed very much by all. Thanks for chiming in and sharing your story about the master.

[@fairwayray]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing, Matt.

[@wiseassclips]

Nicely done Matt. I hope to make it back up to see you in NJ or hope you make the run back down to VA & NC.

[@stipeur]

Been waiting years for this, amazing playing Matt thank you

[@pyrojason]

Great Amps, Great history! The first amp- the original inspiration was a Liverpool named Ginger- made for Caspar McCloud from Atlantic Records. I wonder who has this today!? Cool videos man.

[@MOBontv]

thanks so much for watching! I wonder too. I've hear all about Caspar from the Fischer family. Hope to meet him one day

[@glmontgo]

I know Caspar very well. .I actually had "Ginger" at my home for a while.. It didn't look like much.. Then one day I plugged it in!! Wow.. Caspar sold it a couple of years ago.. I don't know to who.. I have a friend who owns "Melody" love those amps

[@MOBontv]

thanks for the info! Always glad o hear about Caspar. Super nice guy

[@RBolognese]

This is so kool Matt. Love that you're doing this . Giving everybody, especially me being a huge fan and friend a glimpse into how you get your tones. 🤘🏻rock on 👍🏻you da man .🎸

[@PastorCasparMcCloud]

Nice to see you playing a Trainwreck, blessings In His love Caspar McCloud

[@MOBontv]

Hey Caspar! Thanks so much for watching. Love your playing and bless you for helping to start the trainwreck saga! Ain't nothing like a wreck. Hope you are well and thanks for commenting. I was hoping we'd cross paths eventually. Do you still have your original liverpool?

[@vmat1000]

Great vid. Love the back story of yourself and Bernie. RIP to him and Ken. Viewed an Austin City Limits just tonite from '08 with Brad Paisley. Even pointed out to my wife (she's a fan), There's a Trainwreck next to the Vox. Hattie Mae? cosmic :)

[@MOBontv]

very cool! I met brad and he played through my wrecks. Had a nice chat about his and of course that it belonged to Bernie. Brad is super cool. Thanks for watching!

[@MrSandydillon]

Yeah you have a down-to-earth quality to you man

[@MOBontv]

thanks so much! this was my first stab at starting a series on my channel. Definitely gotten better. Thanks for watching

[@carlkrebs1]

hmmmm? like to hear a trainwreck express with an empress echo station , and a electro harmonix cock fight , plus a slash wah . extra would be a empress superdelay with a looper , and an empress heavy pedal . great video matt thank you for sharing !

[@carlkrebs1]

I really want a trainwreck amp and a marshall stack and dsl 100 watt head also....soon enough .

[@carlkrebs1]

the more I listen to you and kuykendall play that amp.....gotta have one !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MOBontv]

thanks man! I agree. Kenny wanted to build an amp that didn't. The amp should be able to do its job, not need help from a fuzz box. Glad you're liking my series, be sure to check out all the other episodes!

[@MOBontv]

My pleasure guys! Remember to stay tuned. There's 19 more episodes coming! mattoreeband.com

[@leohernandezcolonful]

What do you think of the Komet 60?

[@cyrus1357]

Aren’t those amps worth like 70k?

[@MOBontv]

Not 70. I've heard some going for 30-40. I guess what someones willing to pay for it. Me, I need it to go to work. Not really as a collectors piece. They are my favorite amps ever. Thanks for watching

[@thomascolley254]

Holy smokes,I hope that was enough name dropping and endless self promotion to last the other 19 episodes.Thanks for the barely 3 minutes of actual Train wreck demo.Smh

[@MOBontv]

This was my first video of the series. Definatly more talking than playing. There's a ton of playing in my other ones. Hope you check them out.

[@sqwuade]

😆

[@ultravirez]

@@MOBontv I liked hearing all the background story.

[@hardrockindaddy]

Better late than never ... great video, incredible playing, and beautiful chord progression on the clean rhythm pickup. Glad to be here Matt

[@MOBontv]

welcome! thanks for supporting and watching!

[@chrisbrayton3330]

It’s so hard to not make a disparaging comment, right now

[@MOBontv]

Not quite sure I understand what you mean but thanks for watching

[@carlkrebs1]

I have a heavily modified 2001 Gibson gothic studio with slash pickups and 50`s type wiring , and orange caps....you can borrow it if you want . I also have a ventura les paul copy in mint condition I put Seymour Duncan Saturday night specials in and page wiring set up .you can borrow em both....make em scream !

[@carlkrebs1]

add in one epiphone Sheraton pro with pearly gates pickups as well

[@christophermurphy7113]

The gear matters less than the player behind it.

[@MOBontv]

Christopher Murphy very true. Was just teaching a student yesterday explaining that if you work hard enough, eventually your technique and feel outweigh the gear. Thanks for watching!
