Identifying the gear

the orange, with that knob layout it could be a 70s or 90s OD80 or 120, or the custom shop 50.... or maybe even that lil 15 watt one they have out now (headbox looks small for a 50 watter)

looks like it says tremolux on the fender, but I am not sure.... I want one of those, underrated, but still rather rare for a blackface... it could also be the bandmaster with that control layout, had one of those, just a tighter and slightly louder tremolux circuit, for real

I think the black amp at the bottom looks like a Fuchs, but I'm unfamiliar with his model lineup apart from the big dumble clones

That Fuchs is Fuchs Blackjack 21, and the head is def Fender Tremolux, the text is identical, and bandmaster usually has the text which splits. No way that is a 15W Orange, Custom Shop 50 is my guess.

Which Maton is Nic Cester playing here?

I'll take your word for it on the fuchs, I know nothing about his amps... seen em, heard em, not my thing, moved on.

The Orange could be a lot of things, many pre-millennial orange models have the graphics for control labeling and that knob layout. Its probably not a new 15 watter as you say. Thinking back to when I played one I seem to recall the headbox was really small on that. This one just looks kinda small. Maybe it is a custom shop one, are those smaller headboxes than the 70s and 90s matamp models? I've never played one of the new handwired oranges, just old ones and a few of the new, un-matampy PCB models like the rockers and the AD series.

I guess it is 1 line of text, god bless you that you can see that clearly on such a tiny photo. again, looks like a small headbox, and the tremolux has its own extra small head shell so that cooberates your eagle vision, whereas I think my bandmaster had the same size headshell as a bassman of the same era.

This whole amp thing is not my pair of shoes (does this saying also exist in english?). Someone else needs to care of these Decemberists amps.

The shape looks a bit like these 808 models, doesn't it? But I'm not so sure about it.

in English the equivalent idiom would be "not my cup of tea", but I followed the Deutchland version just fine.... see, flattop acoustics are not my pair of shoes or cup of tea unless they're 60s or older, amps are way more interesting, expecially weirdies like vintage orange heads (trust me, while modern oranges are pretty stereotypical vox/tweeds on steroids the old ones/90s OD heads I mentioned and the custom shop head referenced by AWalrus are REALLY unique designs from input to speaker jack)

How about this pedalboard? Except Fulldrive 2, I see some Boss pedals, but can't identify.

Yellow Boss pedal on the top-right is the AC-3 Acoustic Simulator. Far left side, two white Boss pedals with red and green knobs. Those are LS-2 Line Selectors. Pedal just to the right of the LS-2's is the old paint version of the Seymour Duncan SFX-01 Pickup Booster. The text on it gives it away. See the Boss pedal on the top-left side? The one that says "DELAY"? That's a Boss DM-3. Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+ powers them all. No idea what that one on the top-right side is, though.

Please do not forget to submit the Planet Waves Screeching Halt that's on the soundhole. I know it seems small and uninteresting, but you guys have to understand that gives people like myself a good idea of who, how many, and sometimes why artists use certain gear. A large amount of artists submitted as using the Screeching Halt is good information I and many other can use.

Also, that's a Kyser Quick-Change Capo right there on the headstock.

If you insist, then I will do so. I'm unfamiliar with capo recognizing, as well as accessories. I found a photo of Mike Longworth's pedalboard, and so far, I have recognized everthing exept Boss tuner. (And the amp head.)

Is that the TU-2 or TU-3? And there is Kruse amp, but the text which reveals the model has been covered with something.

Looks more orange than red so I would say TU-2, but that's really hard to tell.

I think the Kruse is a modified plexi RI chassis in their headshell with a custom silver faceplate

I think Kruse is just a mod company like voodoo. This amp is a superlead with some component upgrades, internally jumpered channels and a switchable high gain circuit (the gain and level/trim knobs for the extra triodes are probably the new knobs added to the normal channel's high and low inputs and I suspect the bright channel low gain input is a footswitch jack for that extra gain. In the 70s and 80s everyone hot rodded superleads in similar ways much to the chagrin of collectors like myself... to this day I am always finding great JMPs hacked into 2203/2204 circuits or even more modern variations... Marshall pretty much based the single channel 800s on the most popular cascaded gain mod. The 1981 2204 I owned was built on a late JMP 4 input 50 watt lead PCB just like the 70s JMPs in the plexi headshell that I have seen, I suspect the 2203 and 2204 didn't even get a dedicated PCB until the change to horizontal board-mounted inputs around the time the split channels came out and marshall still offered their classic non-master amps with JCM cosmetics right up until then, though I haven't been inside enough 80s single channels to be sure)

argh, that was a lot of rambling, sorry

I would list the amp in the picture as a Kruse modified Marshall 1959SLP-RI

It's a TU-2. The TU-3's have more LED's.

Thanks for that! And, BTW, who can recognize the synth here? https://www.instagram.com/p/9J0jpijI0p/?taken-by=madidiaz

What are the pedals here?

pedal 2 is a strymon flint or el capistan, last edal is an xotic SL or compressor mini pdal, next to last is some kinda rat reissue

dude, is this guy's setup lame and unrockin'

Yellow Boss pedal on the top-right is the AC-3 Acoustic Simulator. Far left side, two white Boss pedals with red and green knobs. Those are LS-2 Line Selectors. Pedal just to the right of the LS-2's is the old paint version of the Seymour Duncan SFX-01 Pickup Booster. The text on it gives it away. See the Boss pedal on the top-left side? The one that says "DELAY"? That's a Boss DM-3. Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+ powers them all. No idea what that one on the top-right side is, though.

That is some kind of Radial box. RDI maybe?

Strymon El Capistan here, next to it there is Boss PS3 (not a PS2 because this one has darker blue colour), Turbo RAT there, maybe an EarthQuaker Aftermath im the left side, Arc Crimson King and Xotic SP compressor are the only ones I could find.

Yes, he includes the SP regularly, just like the El Capistan, I think. Why is it lame? To me, it seems like a decent setup- with extra punch needed. I think he uses EHX Soul Food on that.

it seems okay to you, but Iam a grown up with road experience ad I pronounce it to be lame. Work the amp or die. I will eat the lot of you for tone as well as soundman friendly volume.

lamelamelame

all of you regular forum posters can all get together as a team and I will still eat you viz-a-viz hand technique, amps, speakers and my sparing use of effects, you will run wimpering wishing you could rock and if you don't? well, its purely tone confusion which is a lot like gender confusion... only less cool
