The Tube Screamer To End All Tube Screamers
Does every possible thing I could want from an overdrive without too many controls. Designed with efficient pedal boards in mind. Fantastic
Preferred Settings + Usage:
-Toggle switch setting 3, level at 11:00, gain at 1:00, tone at noon. Use with a clean or lower gain amp.
-Toggle switch setting 2, level at noon, gain at 7:00, tone at 1:00. Run into high gain amp to boost and tighten.

Pure freaking evil
A do-it-all fuzz for the doom metal player in all of us! Based off of the Superfuzz circuit, the Necromancer adds a 3 band EQ, mid boost, bias control, and EQ bypass switches. Capable of going from Funeralopolis to Left Hand Path, this fuzz takes no prisoners, and is an ideal tool for sonic devastation.

A clean, powerful beast
I own one of the late 80's, Rivera-designed, "red knob" Dual Showman heads. The clean channel is absolutely incredible, with headroom for days. The drive channel, with it's push-pull EQ knobs, is very difficult to dial in, but can yield decent tones with a bit of patience and effort. I like to run the drive channel just on the edge of breakup, then use overdrive and fuzz to gain stage.
The features on this amp are very advanced for the time period, with selectable impedance, effects loop, damping switch, and XLR out for recording (all on an amp from the 80's!). This amp is highly recommended for the guitarist with a gigantic pedalboard that wants a stage ready showstopper.

Oozes swagger and tone
This amp is a gem! Super clean, but you can dial in enough preamp gain to make bluesy solos sing. Features a solid-state preamp section and a tube power section (powered by two EL34's), this amp is loud as all hell. Tone reminds me of a blackface Fender Bassman, and build quality is solid. This thing is a tank!
