This is my “Eric got really into New Wave” rig. At the heart of it is a 76 Vibrolux Reverb with Weber 10F150Ts. Aside from the gorgeous cleans I’m using the big board I posted in the exact configuration in that thread. I use the Radial AB to switch channels. Normal is where I run my boosts and gain. Vibrato is for cleans and ambience. The G&L looks like something Devo would have used and the Gretsch is my Billy Duffy influence. It sounds amazing.
