It's gonna be a fun tone night!!! My tried and true Budda Superdrive 30 Series I head. I've had her for about 10 years now. She's one of the original Budda amps - all hand wired. Pre-PCB. One of my favorite amps. A mix of Vox and Marshall in the Rhythm side, and the best Plexi on steriods tone on the drive side. Simple controls and TONS of tone!

The Satellite is new to me this week! I'm gonna put her though her paces tonight! Neutron model. 18w amp. Two 12AX7s, 2xEL84s, and a 5Y3 rectifier - but, she can handle others such as a GZ34, 5V4, etc. She's a little screamer. If you hanen't heard of them - www.satelliteamps.com. I first learned about them when I was Social Distortion about 5 years back. Johnny Wickersham (Ness' right hand man) plays them. Stellar tone. Highly recommended! 80 LP Custom Silverburst - my very first LP. I've owned her for 21 years. My Dad bought if for me when I was 15 (cool Dad, huh?). Customized Tele is also shown!
