The Express is a Liverpool but loaded with EL34 and leaned on to Eddie Van Halen’s Plexi Super Lead 59 Ken Fisher tweaked for him in the early days!


God is in the detail - similar to Fisher and Dumble, Gladius develops its products. Uncompromising in sound, feel and organic. Bring components alive!


I had the opportunity to hear a lot of the original Trainwreck in the Ultra Sound recording studios in NY in the mid-90s. I will never forget that because the Trainwreck amps have been my favorites ever since.


The Express has the latest technology for lossless power reduction on board. A Varic and a post phase inverter Master volume developed by Ken Fisher. A 3-way bright switch was added to let the amp sing with the most harmonious Gain ever.


As Ken has always written, the choice of cabinet and the speakers used is very important to the response, feel  and tone of a Trainwreck! Thats why Gladius offer the light weight and quick resonate cabs (to get full and rich tones in lower volumes) with a strongly burn in for all speakers.


When you start getting complex harmonics, that’s what you need to make an amp sound complex. The more stable an amp becomes, the less complex it is." - Ken Fischer
