Vertex T Drive

The T Drive is a sonic recreation of the legendary Trainwreck™ Express amplifier. Rooted in the tradition of British amps from the 60’s & 70’s, Trainwrecks™ are famous for their fast pick response and exceptional dynamics that range from chimey «Vox» style cleans, to a soaring «Plexi» overdrive. To most accurately recreate the harmonic complexity of the Trainwreck™ amps in a stompbox, we took painstaking measures to find a «real deal» Trainwreck™ Express to compare for sonic accuracy. Additionally, longtime Trainwreck™ owners were consulted for guidance, providing us with recordings and feedback on A/B comparisons between their Trainwreck™ amplifiers and our T Drive Prototype. Our quest to create the the most accurate «Wreck-in-a-box» has resulted in the T Drive: a pedal with dynamics, harmonic complexity, and «voice-like» overtones reminiscent of the amp it was inspired by.
