Z Wreck

[Blackburn]

Thanks for a great report. I saw your earlier question (pasted below) which I thought was spot on. Did you have a chance to ask him that? How does he ensure consistent customer experience with such a challenging circuit?

Loved my Z-Wreck which I recently had to sell due to pressing needs.

What I find interesting about the Z Wreck is that builds of other TW amps (even the top builders) have issues. There is a lot of attention and tweaking that happens before an amp is stable and shipped. But with a production amp, I dont think they get that attention. Yet we dont hear about mass issues with these amps.

Why is that?

Expresses and Liverpools are the Trainwreck circuits that are notorious for stability problems. The Z-Wreck is based on the Rocket, which has far less gain and is much less prone to stability problems.

I agree. I think the Rocket is pretty easy to get right the first time. There's just so little gain that it doesn't want to talk back like the others.
