A timmy plus that circuit is such a classic.
How do you like that maxon analog delay? I loved the old ibanez ones in a similar enclosure

How does the Blackbird sound with the amp cranked up? I have heard those can be on the dark side. You're using a closed back cab I assume?

Open back. It's not a dark speaker contrary to some. It also has a sweet chime to it. When cranked. It compresses nicely. I even like this speaker with my Quickrod! I'll post some clips soon...

Unfortunately, no. I just don't have the time with the three bands I'm in...

The Maxon is one of my favorite sounding analog delays ever... I love that I can reach down and adjust on the fly...
Here is a clip I made with it...

Has it occurred to you that maybe some of the guys in your bands might want one of those amps too?

Damn that sounds good bro. I’m a fender dude at heart for anything clean…

You should put a power amp in jack on your Twin head so that you can plug in your FM9 also.

Well, speaking as someone who went from a '73 SF Twin Reverb to a '74 SF Princeton Reverb, for the sole purpose of tackling a good surf/60's tone, the PR does it a lot better IME. I did replace the crappy Oxford speaker with an Eminence Legend years a go, to give it a more balanced tone.

They just don’t sound the same. Yeah a twin is a “lot more amp” for less in the current market, but louder and cleaner isn’t necessarily what everyone wants.
It’s funny everyone hates the old oxfords, and I don’t like them either from the couple times I’ve actually encountered them, but I actually do like using York audio’s IR’s of the 12” ones with my Deluxe. IR’s don’t fart out and fall apart. Even the IR’s don’t play very well with a lot of OD/distortion though.

Exactly. The Twin was 'more' amp, but just not that character on lower volumes with the drippy reverb that I was looking for.
And the Oxfords indeed crapped out quickly with a drive pedal (OCD, TS9, Marshall Guv'nor), whereas the Eminence kept its cool.
Also tried the Copperhead, and looking back, I maybe should have sticked with that, since it leant itself even more for country/surf/rockabilly tones, but the Legend had a bit more lows and less spikey highs.
