Did Lynch use a Trainwreck on "Lynch Mob"

[gnugear]

I've ALWAYS loved the lead tones on that album!

Just by coincidence I was looking at his website, and wouldn't you know it, it said George had a Trainwreck for some of his studio sessions.

I always thought it was a super sweet Marshall, but I've heard that he used a lot of his Soldano SLO. When I listen to the rhythm I can totally hear the Soldano ... but the leads have this incredible woody, liquid, dark sound to them. I finally put two and two together after listening to the clips on this site (geetarpickers). It sure sounds like a TW to me ... does anyone know?

Strange but I also was thinking the same thing when I first got that CD. Anyone else hear this?

Damn, two 50 watt plexi heads. I thought I had a better ear than that

Well, at least he owns a Trainwreck. I need to get me familiar with Lynch. I've never really been expopsed to his stuff (except for the clips on the Bogner site).

So who owns/uses 'Wrecks and on what albums?

I've always heard that Bryan Adams guitar player used one, but I'm not sure what albums or songs. I was thinking the Cuts Like A Knfe and Reckless albums have Trainwreck tones on them but I'm not 100% sure.

I recall some interview (GP?) where Keith Scott(?) talks about having some special amp that had a Hiwatt front end combined w/a Vox backend, or something to that effect. Maybe that's the one. I think he also talked about using Marshalls.

There's a picture of a TW on Lynch's site. It says it was used for the studio sessions, but not how much.

gnugear,

I can't find that page on the lynch website. Is it under the "gear" menu? thanks.

[gnugear]

Yeah, it's under the studio gear section. He lists what he used for each album, and for "Lynch Mob" there's a picture of a Wreck.

[erigm]

Thanks Gnugear ... I found it.

George Lynch used two 50 watt plexi Marshalls on that album , one on each side of the pan . The origional buzz was that it was one channel soldano and one plexi but no . It was after he stopeed working with the decatone soldano that the skinny came out . The inside is the circuit had the traditional split cathode .68/330 , and the .68 bypass cap on v2 with the 820 resistor . alot of gain . He used greenback 25's in basketweaves . One cab per head . This plus his usual arsenal . He liked to jack the front end with a clean boost like a ge-7 or tubescreamer (808) . Its a great tone but to be hones on a trainwreck scale its about a 7.5 in terms of tone . Of course a wreck being a 9.9 ( according to this american judge) .Georges technique and set up account more for his tone here than you can imagine .
