Holy crap ya'll have been posting like rabbits.
D, the two drummer thing is most likely a pipe dream and was inspired by having our outgoing drummer (zak) and incoming drummer (Jason) both playing Teotwaki at the same time and killing it. they are very different stylistically and zak plays a roland v-drums kit and jason is on a fibes. So the sound of two completely different kits combined with z's more technical playing and j's more simplistic pounding approach was really cool. Zaks on the way out though and I doubt we'll find another guy like him. When we started with him I was really not to into the v-drum idea. Having played with him for a while though its won me over. There are some limitations but the ability to change sets on the fly and absolute volume control and perfect tuning makes up for it. I'm suprised more drummers don't at least incorporate it into their sets ala Niel Pert style. A good pa is a must though so that's probably a limiting factor. If we could get a guy to be an auxiliary percussionist that's be cool, using different drums than a regular kit. Of course I'm not remotely a drummer and can't say how appealing that would or wouldn't be.
Killer to hear you are moving forward on the AB. I def want one and I bet tony will too. dudes a fuzz addict for sure and he loved your sound.
Kevin, So glad you have ingrown hair!
wait, that sounds weird.....
Nick, one more questions about slaves, several of my amps have rca jack slave outs, but none have an in. these could just go to the normal inputs? or does it need to go to the power amp only? I was thinking if i could slave one of the earths to the other that would let me run 4 amps at once and have just that tiny bit more headroom and power. Right now the black one is going back on the bench but i think it just needs the sockets cleaned and retensioned as the noise it was making was intermittent and fixed by wiggling the tubes a bit.
Also, I cant wait to hear the demos for the 150 watt builds you have going. Gear fund is still way short of asking you to put something together for me but its steadily improving. Getting hooked on 12 strings with trems has really cut down on GAS issues for me. It's not that I dont want stuff, there is just a very limited amount of gear available. Down the road I might need to hit you up for something that can hang with the soundtronics head I resuscitated. the reliability and using one head to do the job of two is starting to look more and more appealing.

I've had to tried a few different models and nothing ever spoke to me as OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!! I guess I'm more in to wooly chug with some grit on it, RAT's had a thin fizzy quality that just didn't jive with me.
