The Gladius Rocket is an evolution of Trainwreck's Rocket. The template for this amp is clearly a Boogie and VOX AC30. t has taken many years to unravel the myth of Ken Fischer's legendary original Trainwreck amps. Gladius was able to test original Trainwrecks extensively and today presented his version of a perfect AC30 without the well-known disadvantages.
The end result was a classically British Class–A–sounding amp with three ECC83s (12AX7s) in the preamp and four EL84s in the power stage.
As Ken has always written, the choice of enclosure and speakers used is very important to how a Trainwreck will respond, feel and sound! For this reason, Gladius offers the lightweight and fast resonating cabs (to get full and rich tones even at lower volumes) with a strong burn-in for all speakers.
These cabs are references on the market!
The 1x12" One Cab is intended for the studio and small stages and, with the Alnico speaker, brings exactly the mid-breath you want from a Trainwreck.
The 2x12" Blue Cab is intended for the 60's vintage tone, which is rough and mid breathy in attack hich perfectly harmonizes the character of the EL84 power amplifier and the sparkling mids of the Alnico magnet.
The 2x12" Ruby Cab is the milder and smoother version of the Blue cab
Gladius guarantees the full tone of all its cabs from just 0.1 watts! The Express is the original "tweaked" Plexi Super Lead 59 from Eddie Van Halen Ken Fisher tweaked for him in the early days! Too many people want Ken tweaking Plexis to Eddie's specs and sound but too less Plexi's were available.
