Just picked up this new amp yesterday. Sounds fantastic and has proper mojo for a 33 year old amplier.

1979 Fender Vibro Champ Silverface

Nice! Your amp was made the same year I was born. I think the same goes for my Twin Reverb.

Here's what I keep around the house



Kustom Defender 5H, Basson 1x12 cab, Orange Crush 12, Vox Nighthawk 1x10 cab, Fender Champ clone in head format, 1967 Fender Deluxe Reverb. The pedals are a pair of fuzzboxes (Rat Clone and some Danelectro thing), EH Treble Booster and a modded Vox wah.

The Basson Cab is seriously the heaviest piece of gear I own. It weighs more than my Deluxe reverb, and almost as much (and I am not kidding) as my H&K 4x12. I'm putting it on casters soon.

I spent the bank holiday playing with some new sounds. It was fun.

A shot of my setup tonight at practice

Sold the EX-1. Gonna start saving for a loop pedal, RC-3 probably. Want to knock the Whammy off with a Pitchfactor also (or an Earthquaker Devices Magic Rainbow)

Current board. I just don't have room left at all. After the Gretsch this month, next month is going to be Pedaltrain Pro month. I'm going to sort this shit out.

I can say there are too pedals on there I would love to have Eric, the moog & the pog. Although as ppl say about my iPhone the white does look a little bit unmanly

Back to the big pedal board. TWO NEW ACQUISITIONS; Dunlop Crybaby and Guitar Tech Analog Delay. I am thoroughly enjoying both.

Getting the Gretsch bari a week today, hopefully.

I somehow missed this: well done, nice choice.

CHECK IT OUT! NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED!!1


Rejigged Casa Bonita setup: "Oooh, tedious".


The MBM Box Of Rock is now my Designated Base Clean-ish Sound and is left on all the time- it sounds SO much better than doing the same on the M9. It also lets me run the octavers directly into the distortion on my M9 which sounds waaaay fatter, since it's not being squashed by an overdrive beforehand now.

One M9 output goes directly to the guitar amp, the other output goes through a Behringer delay (100% wet, VERY short delay) and the MBM Saltbooster to act as a switchable volume cut to the bass amp. The delay thang thickens up the sound and also solves phasing issues, dead handy.

cool!

I call this setup BITCHTITS

Stepped up my game a little in my recording devices.... bought these off mates... £40 and a very cheap meal got me these.



They work a treat !!

Me Les Paul, Aria bass and a copy of Cobain Unseen lurking in the background there.

Nice one Noirie.... is it one of the newer Tokais or an older Japanese one ?

Hows it play ?

It's a 2001 Japanese made one. It plays alright. The nut wasn't glued in when I got it and it was buzzing all over the neck. Managed to tweak it a bit though.

Wanna get some chrome pickup covers and a toggle switch surround. Then it'll be perfect.

My cyclone and dirt boxes. I took out the humbucker and put the neck pickup in the bridge position, neck pickup out of my old POS guitar. First time wiring a pickup to a switch, so the middle position is out of phase, but I liked it, so it stays.
