brentrocks Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 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 . I just got my logo form Derek, and it totally sets it off...completes the package for this great amp! Clips coming later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 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?

golferwave Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HRB853370 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 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!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets it close then it has to be an absolute killer amp! Congrats! doubt it's an Express (Master vol), but looks very nicely done. i like where it sez "Danger" my guess is it's more JCM800 inspired. made in the Seattle/Tacoma area. http://www.unionjackamps.com/#/welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentrocks Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Ok fellas...here we go!

rjsanders Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 How does it compare to the Rivera? 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.
