I'm not sure it gets any better than this:

Note the insane sensitivity to pick attack...and how much would this rig cost?

Maybe $70k, maybe more. If there's a sweeter set-up, please post the clip!

LOL! Good luck finding one :)

I've had the good fortune to play through a Trainwreck; it's hard to put into words just how good
these amps are; tone heaven is the best I can think of. Most headroom of any amp I've ever heard, it
moves the air unlike any other.

Only problem is, after playing one (yes, I think this is one of those rarest of amps that you
actually play) you go home and your gear sounds like shit. Yup, that good, and like many here, my
gear ain't rubbish.

Plus, they're one of the prettiest amps ever made....

I almost always react to these examples with indifference at best, but
this really is one of the nicest set of sounds I have heard from a
guitar and amp combo. The dynamic response he demonstrates, starting
at about 2:45... that is really superb.

Thanks for sharing.

For $70k, the damn thing better be able to fetch a beer. And I *swear*,
a guy I knew in the early '90s was able to get close to that with
a silverface Bassman, Marshall cab, '70s LP and a Guv'nor.

Ah yesss.... I had both a DP-2 and a DP-4+. I wish I had kept one or
both. I kick myself for selling those.

I did a recording project when I had first gotten one of them (I
forget which), and recorded several tracks for one song, direct
through the unit. Sounded so good. No one knew I hadn't used an amp.
