The Songwriter 30 was the last Trainwreck amplifier design that was built by the legendary Kenneth Fischer. Due to his failing health, Ken was only able to build two of these magnificent hand wired amplifiers. Komet Amplification has been awarded the license by Trainwreck to recreate the Songwriter 30 in exacting detail to the original. We are using “Bree”, one of the two original Trainwreck Songwriter amps that is on long term loan to Komet, as our reference amp. Every new Songwriter 30 is meticulously hand built and voiced, then it is play tested in comparison to “Bree” to be sure it sounds just as perfect. It's powered by a quartet of cathode biased EL84/6BQ5 output tubes. The pre amp incorporates two 12AX7 tubes. It's meticulously assembled and hand wired with only the best sounding and most reliable components.
