Saturn V > 1976 Ram's Head > Lemon Drop > Tremolessence > Blackbird > Spring Chicken > Mayo > Launch Pad

Having insane amounts of fun with this setup. So pleased with the results right now; for now.
And yet the Tremolessence has me 'mirin other Dr. Scientist offerings...while my short list aint getting any shorter

How is that Saturn V, and what amp are you playing into? I have been really curious about it, but it is pricy and there are pretty much no clips of it.

It is <insert expletive-superlative> . Similar to a SHO only way more harmonic content, and with the 2 knob setup you can achieve +18dB of clean gain plus another 17 or so dB of dirty goodness on top of it. 4.7M ohm input is ideal for vintage single coils especially those on far east Fender clones. Stacking into other pedals gives the "more better" effect. It's always-on in my guitar rig.

This is the amp:


1967 Selmer TNB 50 MKII. EL34 powered dirty Brit tone, GZ34 rectified non-master for some squish when I want it. Launch Pad used to jump channels, always-on. Amp is already starting to breakup before a single pedal [even the Saturn] does its gain stage thing.

This Might be a Dumb Question, but why is it upside down?

[Andrew]

I've heard that people flip for reduce the amp from overheating or something like that. Functionally, though I don't know if that amp does that or not.

[rustywire]

^yup.
Heat rises. It prolongs component life to let the heat rise out into the case, rather than up into the amp chassis. Especially when you have it cookin with jumped channels and pricy old glass under the hood. The MK I was "rightside up" [chassis on the bottom] but for whatever reason Selmer flipped the MK II upside down like a combo amp. Easily remedied.

FWIW I've been told by numerous amp techs that most of their work comes from dealing with issues in combo amps. Seems legit. An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure...

[hbombgraphics]

very interesting, didn't realize it made that much of a difference but it does make sense

Big fan of the whooshies are you? FAYE'S HER.

Somebody likes modulation

[Tompski]

Modulation in moderation

[goroth]

No such thing as moderation in ILF-town.

MORE SWiRLIES!
