i just recieved a sf 1975 twin rev i like it with my tele have not had a chance to try it with my mullen it has fender d120f on the speakers. do i need a foot switch to get the vibrato to work? are these speakers any good for steel the speaker frames are orange.too sick right now to hook it up with steel.

without a footswitch you can plug an rca phono
plug with its pin shorted to its ground, plug
it in in place of the footswitch and control
the vibrato from the front panel.

yes, or, without a footswitch, you can plug

| In a pinch, a small alligator clip will short it out too. |

| Those speakers kill for steel or guitar. Arguably none better. |

The RCA plug soldered together as Russ shows above is the more elegant and permanent solution. A small alligator clip squeezed open, with one jaw making contact with the hot lead inside the tremolo jack, and the other around the outside ground, will also do the trick. You may need to jiggle it around a bit to ensure proper contact. |

It's worth repeating.
the very famous "Charlie Pride Live at Panther Hall" LP has Loyd Green playing thru a Twin with 2x12 JBL's !
Many of us feel this may be the reference for tone . Well, Sho-Bud tone anyway...Just as the "Blade" may very well be the reference for Emmons tone.
Great amp, enjoy
