**Dave: **I use 2 x 215 boxes with a couple of Sunn 200watt heads. The pedal I use is a Morley JD 110, which is a boost pedal that a lot of old country guys use. I found a whole stack of them for sale, so I bought all of them so I’ll never have to worry about running out of them.

Mentioned in this August 1997 interview with John “Wedge” Wardlaw at 30:00.

Wardlaw: Do you still use the Morley box at all? I just know you recommended it to me, this isn’t necessarily in the interview, I’m just curious.

Montrose: Oh! Oh yeah, I still have that, the JD10?

Wardlaw: Yeah.

Montrose: Yeah, that’s a nice box.

Wardlaw: That was a good recommendation. I really like it.

Montrose: That’s a good little preamp, yeah, that works fine.
