Other than a Morley Wah and a Proco Rat, what else are you running.

That's actually a volume pedal. But, I have the 80's rat, a pharaoh fuzz, Ibanez AD9 delay, radial bigshot a/b/y, and a korg pitchblack tuner. Used to have a way more pedals, paired down to the essentials.

I compliment you on your ability to maintain your pedalboard at a reasonable size.

I think this might be my next project, replace my board with something smaller and edit down to the essentials (and then keep the bigger board to keep other pedals accessible for noodling around / home recording).

More pedals means more possible things to go wrong...I like my shit simple.

Heh. Mine is not a totally dissimilar rig from yours, Taylor. Your Evil Twin and my Sunn T50C are very close cousins, circuit-wise. Mine is also powering two of the six 12s. It's set relatively clean, with a fuzz (FZ-2) in front of it. The Model T gets no dirt pedal and powers the top four speakers.

And like yours, the pedalboard is mostly just tuner/volume/ABY, but with a flanger and a fuzz. Oh, and a Freeze for when I want infinite singing feedback.



poop.

That's a little sexier looking than mine. Did the T50C used to be a combo that you chopped? I got my emperor from my buddy that lives by you, and he had Petras from Atlas cabs go through it, rewire it to 8 ohms  for me and install another internal brace for better response. It sounds tasty. Doesn't quite push the volume I want with the traynor, but with the twin on top of it, it sounds awesome.

Oh, and I added a moer shimverb to my board yesterday. It's so little, barely takes up any room.

Yeah, t'was a combo before I got my filthy mitts (and circular saw) on it. Honestly, I care more about opening up its functionality than resale.

And I suppose I'll have to go get a little Shimverb now, so that we'll still have same-sies.

Let's never change. I'll have to chop up my twin and get another cab now though.

Nice. Those red knobs are the first incarnation of the "evil" Fenders. Tay-tay's is the Pro Tube Evil.

I wonder what makes them so eeeevil? That they weren't just a '65 Twin?
poop.

The only thing I remember about those was they weren't so good with the clean "Fender" tone like the old ones but were good for metal tones unlike the old ones.  I think Fender was trying to capture a market share of the metal genre.

Honestly, the cleans are phenomenal. Also loves pedals. The gain is really big and saturated at higher levels, but cleans up and is articulate at lower levels. Can get some straight up bolt Thrower/old morbid Angel shit right off the amp. I use a Caitlinbread SCOD to slam all my amps. Best pedal I've ever owned.

I love Catalinbread stuff.  But as far as that amp, if you put old and new side by side there'd be a big difference.  If no then they're more versatile than I'd thought previously.

They aren't as sparkly, but you can still get a great clean tone out of it. Traditional Fender nerds didn't like them because they are stupid.

I bet the combo of a closed 4x12 and an open 2x12 sounds great.

That's close to what I run on my big rig: Mesa V-Twin > Mesa 5//50 split into a '68 SUNN closed back loaded with original SUNN Transducer speakers (rebranded JBLs) & a 4x12/Avatar 2x12 semi-open back loaded with Hellatones.

Sounds huge.

Figured I'd try and revive this old beast.  Was finally able to dust off and bust out my little friends.

Sadly the Framus SG isn't mine. Downscaled my pedalboard a while ago, might need a boost though. :)
