The DSL amps have always been killer and take boosts extremely well. No a shock at all to me that uses those. He has no need for internet cred 🙂.

They sound good, sure.
But they’re also cheap and easy to replace, which is another good thing about them.

Most pros who use them have a nice collection of amps at home, that they’d never consider taking out on the road. For good reason.
 
Wierd, I have a DSL 2000 and an old school Rat pedal and use pretty much the same way although the mids, treble, and presence are a little higher. Use the Rat the same way- the filter control shapes the sound a lot.

That is my money pit: a heavily modified (‘ruined’ by purists’ standards) 1973. LS9, T-56, DSE. Living my best life today and expecting to be flat broke in my old age re-living memories!

Awesome! Screw the purists. All that 2nd gen F bodies are good for is modifying. Enjoy it!

Wasn't an SLO, it was a Soldano Super Lead 60, a Japanese precursor to the Hot Rod series, and there was a Boss Turbo OD before the amp.

My man, always with the details.. TBH, those Hot Rod amps sound killer to my ears. I like them as much as the SLO's. Seem tighter. Less sag. So did he use the turbo OD in the same way as the rat? Is there a filter on that pedal? If memory serves me correctly, JCM800 and Turbo OD is the sound of Dio's Lock up the Wolves. Killer tones on that one too.

Now the Waiting for the Punchline album also has a kick ass tone. I think that was Fender Vibrolux and pedal?? People don't like to say " tone in the fingers" but come on people. 4 diff setups on those albums yet all tasty Nuno tone.

Vibroverb, 15” speaker, not sure about the Rat on that one, it’s possible.

The Boss Turbo OD settings are in a diagram from the engineer/producer of the album (actually his assistant drew it) Bob St John over at Gearsluts (or whatever it’s called now since sluts in no longer PC).
 
Reissue Rat any good for this? I figure it is mainly for the filter anyway if you have an amp that gains up ? Makes sense how he used the Laney Pro tubes for a bit now too.. that thing was flubby and fizzy but if you darken the settings and then use the filter, it would get right in the zone. His ADA settings are very dark and dull... but when you hit it with the RAT. BOOM! tone city.

Vibroverb reissue into a 4x12 and a microphonic preamp tube.

My favorite Nuno tone by far. The tones on Cynical and Hip Today are perfect. He should have stuck with that.

Wasn’t a reissue, it was a real ‘64 his tech Mike Keegan found somewhere and brought to him. He went on tour with a pair of reissues and no 4x12 cabs so idk if they used one in the studio either.

Yea I think you’re correct and I’m wrong here. I know the reissue came out right about the time/era of that album. I bought one of the RIs and not the same, but definitely needed an attenuator. Ouch.
