  1. I also have a Ampeg VT 22 that has the capability to sound like a Dual Showman as well as a bunch of other amps. That's the same as the V4 stack the Stones used live in the 70's. Hum that sorta makes sense. It's the combo version with 2 12's. 120 watts has blown the speakers 3 times. I really should replace them with something better but I don't play it that loud anymore.
  2. Well when I looked it up several sources said he used a 1959 Les Paul custom and a Dual Showman amp. The guitar was supposed to be the same one he used on the Ed Sullivan show. Of course I don't know for sure. Don't have a Dual Showman amp but I do have a Deluxe Reverb and a LP Custom. Of course those are two different sorts of things.
  3. Trying to figure out what amp used on satisfaction. I am pretty sure he used a LP custom for guitar. Seems like he may have used some kind of tweed deluxe modified to class a.
  4. Interesting looks like Gibson relaunched the Maestro effects recently. That one appears to be analog. Probably sounds a lot like the original.
  5. Yeah the satisfaction fuzz. I read the description on the EVH website. They sure made it sound like it was meant to cop the satisfaction sound which mine can do pretty faithfully. Not that I have tried to play it recently. I will have to give it a go when I have the time. It's not the same circuit as the one used on the original song though the intent was to recreate that sound. Robert Moog was probably up to the task.
  6. That probably sounds a lot like the Maestro pedal. I should get one and see how close it sounds. Don't really need any more stuff though.
  7. Other effects available at the time possibly. 1948 DeArmond Trem-Trol 1962 Maestro Fuzz Tone 1967 Vox Cry Baby Octave pedal Vibra Chorus 1968 Uni-Vibe 1969 Uni-Fuzz After that many different effects became available. Now there are so many there is no way to know about them all.
  8. At the time I bought that pedal it was pretty much the only effect they had in the shop. There really was not that many other effects available. I think most of the other effects available were hard to get unless you were a professional. Would have to check the timeline to be sure.
  9. I see a fair amount of people here like effects. I was looking at the Boss reissue thread and thought I would look up the first effect I bought. A Gibson Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1B. They have a bunch on Reverb priced form 800 to 1200 dollars😶 I still have the pedal. The one I have was apparently designed by Robert Moog. Who knew.
  10. Yeah at $40 a pop that's at least $800 to retube the preamp sections of my amps at least the ones I care about😶 No telling what they would charge for power tubes if they even plan to produce them🤔
  11. Well if they are going to do this they need a $20 or less per tube price range. The other tubes they make are expensive. They may only make the one high fi tube. Have not looked in a while.
  12. I grew up with those guys. Literally lived in Manhattan, Kansas from 68 to 73. I saw every version of them live dozens of times. Kerry's cousin went to school with me. I was surprised when I saw a Kansas album in the record store when I was in college. Thought someone else had stolen their name. Kerry showed me a few things on guitar. Got to sneak backstage a lot. Was even more surprised how big they got.
  13. Just install Linux most distros come with several compilers including Python others are easy to install and most are free open source.
  14. Al Coda I really hope that is supposed to be a joke?
