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, Vertex 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.
