no time to go back multi quoting, but besides dirt and delay... REVERB. i use it more than delay. it's pretty much always on for me.
congrats to pelliot on the artist. i'm pretty curious about those new reissues, they look really good and seem to be a step up from the other recently made artists.
as far as what dan was saying about the sound of the vintage ones compared to an LP, i think that's the pickups and not really the guitar. i really didn't get along with the stock pickups. even though people on the internet say they're great or whatever. the ones i had played before mine didn't have the stock pickups, so when i got mine, i was taken aback by how much less i liked it. i swapped the bridge for a duncan distortion and was immediately much happier.

Well i wanted to do the SVT mid control on the monolith. Somehow I wanted to add a good mid control onto a passive james EQ. However the SVT mid control needs 3 triode gain stages, and inductors. So its costly in terms of real estate, and inductors are more difficult to source. However, in a stroke of luck or what have you, Oli Foxen sent me a schematic of a Burman amp he wanted to have simulated after seeing the sort of analysis on did on amp EQs in the TB thread I made. So I simulated that and the mid control from that amp is an active mid boost control with no inductors and only needs 1 triode gain stage. I was able to put that into the schematic, and did not need any extra gain stages as I could use the gain stage to both act as the mid range control and drive the baxandall. In an added bonus it also decreases the amp gain as it is used up to be able to have the active mid range. So that design is nearly done and only uses 3 pre tubes.
Fog Machine well I finally found a way that I could have switchable gain from EA MV-120 level and then more on top of that if need be with a single switch. Overall does not disturb the root design. either.

Dude that's pretty sick!!!! Saving real estate and increasing clean gain on the amp is right up my alley!!! I take it the monoliths going to be your pedal amp while the fog machine is all amp dirt? Still thinking 200w each?
