Cool trainwreck stories

[Plexified]

Hey gang , I just found this site , its a cool start for sure . I grew up in New Jersey and had all my gear serviced in the 80's by Ken and know most of the guys in the NY/NJ music scene for a long time . I just wanted to comment on how cool Ken Fischer is and how talented he is . It still remains very underrated as to this day . Yes we admire his personal works of art , however , everything he worked on was approached in this way . I always teased ken about the Demon Tweak as I called it . Because no mater what piece of gear we brought in to have serviced , repaired or whatever , it was always serviced BEYOND your expectations . He would bring out the best in all he touched . It was a wild thing to witness . Its like an artist that has an extreme range and watching them get locked in and create with virtually nothing to start with is startling . I never bought a wreck , quite simply because all the gear he serviced for us sounded as good . He tuned everything into this zone . It acounts for a schematic almost not being able to be created for each model . You can get in the ball park as you have seemed to do with the desire to build a wreck , but its YOU that gets it to where it needs to be . It will get to where you want it when your tuning ability meets your talent and you forget about changing any parts and just lean your head back and PLAY . Your ears , your body , your soul will feel it , you will know . In these amps its with the fewest parts possible for the circuits and the placement of the parts IN a 3D Plane will be the difference between THE TONE and you trying to fix the layout . Think about a good Marshall you've heard , now the best , stock of course . Those parts variances were chance . Kens actions are deliberate and calculated to pinpoint intention when designing or tuning . In his world it ALL matters to get the tone . As a builder he liked nothing more than to hear his good friends PLAY . Insiration for him was Kenny Dubman , Dave Dipietro , Bob Speck , Paul DeCeasar , David Scott , Snake Szabo , Dave Pulinski , Joe Taylor on and on ALL Local musicians with KILLER and I mean KILLER talent . Cheers

Agreed - sounds like KF has 'golden ears' and a great work ethic. No wonder his own amps worked out so well
