pretty straightforward really -
Luxxtone El Machete 22 > Vovox sonorus > Gower custom modded Marshall 1959SLP > Bogner cabs(Uberkab and a H30's x G12-80's cab)
in the loop > Whirlwind Perfect 10 graphic into a Diamond Memory Lane Jr. >
hell, since we have a couple more days -
the Luxxtone is #19 and Jerry's first he did with an ebony board. So it's ebony, alder body, kinda thin neck, german floyd, big ol' brass block with a adjustable stopper to block the floyd, Motor City Angel Dust -





the Gower Marshall is a Merren transformered 4 gain stage hand wired deal with two masters and a full clean channel -

These equipments used to belong to three super cool bros that have passed away. RIP. The half stack has been in my group of friends since around 1980. Another buddy modded the head around 1983. It was the best sounding head in town but was crudely assembled. It took a shit in 1998. I learned how to build amps to keep it alive. I have hundreds of hours into the rebuild / tweaking. I tried to do all black wiring but ran out of black wire at the time and had to use some red. Plan to revisit.
An old drummer friend came to visit and when he saw it he said "The Witness!". It played a key role in the development of several cool bands throughout the years.
-DIY '76 100 Watt Marshall 1959 JMP Super Lead with GE 6550's
-Matching Marshall 4 x 12 with Celestion G12-30H Blackbacks

We used to always plug straight in. No gadgets allowed.
