When i sold the G copy 59 burst, i got an amp in the deal and I'm so glad i did!

 

Its a Union Jack 50 W plexi head. Here is the website... http://www.unionjackamps.com/#/welcome

 

Derek is the owner/duilder. He is a commercial electrician by day...amp builder by night...LOL. I'm very excited and happy with this amp, it ozzes vintage tone. All hand wired and 100% American made!!!!

 

When i recieved the amp, the original owner had taken the chasis and pu tit in a custom cab that was smaller, but never put the UJ logo back on it :icon_scratch: . I just got my logo form Derek, and it totally sets it off...completes the package for this great amp!

 

Clips coming later....

very cool... it looks great.

 

I was wondering if it will have enough gain for you.. or will you need to use a pedal to get your favorite rock sounds.....

 

What speakers are in the cab?

Looks cool Brent! I like new amp day almost as well as new guitar day. With a name like "The Wreck" I assume it's a Trainwreck clone. If he gets it close then it has to be an absolute killer amp! Congrats!

Whats up with the British flag logo on the back! Is Derek a Brit, or is this made in the UK?

 

Never heard of Union Jack! Sounds kinda Confederate!!!!

British Flag = Union Jack. :icon_thumright: It's just a name.

 

BTW, Brently, that is one cool looking amp right there! Please try to hold on to it for a few months, eh? <hehe> Would love to give it a spin.

No way, baby. It's a way of life! ;)

Nice, Brent!! Looking forward to your clips, as always. BTW did you subliminally write "tit" in the original post?! Or am I just a pig for noticing it, and it was an honest spelling error? Enjoy the new amp.

doubt it's an Express (Master vol), but looks very nicely done. i like where it sez "Danger" B)

my guess is it's more JCM800 inspired. made in the Seattle/Tacoma area. http://www.unionjackamps.com/#/welcome

i actually misspoke myself...its inspired by the 2204 Marshall/trainwreck, i'm not exactly sure what that means either...im not very AMP savy :biggrin_mini:

Sweet!! Do you think it has enough POWER? :icon_biggrin:

Ok fellas...here we go!

 

 

Both of these clips were done with the H 150 P-90 and the Union Jack head through 1 4x12 cab...my playing is obviously the weakest link in the clips :icon_puke_l:

yeahman. the 2204 is a 50w Marshall JCM800. many consider it the last of the vintage circuits. i've got a Paul Cochrane (Heritage Amps) head based on it. the Trainwreck Express is Ken Fischer's 50w 2xEL34 monster.

Yes, an opinion held by those that have never played a JCM900. :diablo_mini:

i dug my R-55 a bunch, love old Marshalls/Fender tweeds. but i rarely used the Ch. 1 (marshally) of the Rivera. sounded more JCM800 to me, even if i pumped up the lows some.
