Hi Randy, I received my unit late Wednesday and it's gonna be a winner. I will know more after I gig with it this week-end the reverb and delay are awesome. The distortion will take me(at least) some time to set as it is input driven and a little movement in the volume pedal makes quite a difference in how it performs. I will have a much better idea of settings after playing at stage volume this week-end. I think you guys will love the unit and as you probably know Sage is a great guy to work with.

Thanks Billy, After you get it set, Share your settings with us, Randy G.

Sage was Great to Deal with also! .

Hi Randy, Sage had sent me a photo of Paul jr.'s settings and I started from there and tweaked a little for my guitar and amp settings. Still have some work to do to get it perfect, but you will love the unit. Sorry to take so long but had a busy week-end. Two twenty-five, nine fifty-four, seventy-four, fifteen if you need to contact me.

Paul uses a Little Walter tube amp. The echo delay and reverb should sound great with any amp but it will be interesting to get feedback on the distortion part of the with effect with a SS amp.

Len, I used a '67 Dual Showman head with two 8 ohm JBL's over week-end but I hesitate to give any settings because that is not the way I will set up permanetly. As soon as I finish a cabinet for my Evans Hyvrid 200(1966) I will run with two amps into one speaker each. The Evans with a tube pre-amp.

Hey billy:

I would love to hear that Duel Showman. The Evans and that Fender together shoud sound over the top.

My question refers to the guys that have a Nashville 400 or that type of amp. As you probably know, many threads have been titled "distorton divices" or "overdrive" or something like that. I have not found any distortion/overdrive device
that came close to par with a SS amp as the 400 series type amp with a 15" speaker.

Maybe it's because I play guitar also and have found some nice buzz boxes with my tube amps that makes me too fussy about distortion with steel.

Just food for thought?

Lenny
