Killer as per usual Jim! You are one monster player. You should be playing in a band.
 
Thanks so much everyone. As for fx it''s just the Hardwire DE7 on the modulation setting
 
As always great tone and chops . Your Smallbox just sounds better than all the other vids I've seen .
 
Great tone as always! Are you using the Barber to boost the amp with the Sat switch on? In that case how are you controlling the feedback and the noise? Any noise gate or something like this?

Yes brhe BDD is barely boosting the amp. The level is at noon and the gain is less than 9:00. So it's just bumping up the signal a hair. The SB really doesn't need a boost but at these lower volumes... it helps give it a bit of sustain.
 
I think the Sat Switch works really well for low volumes. But the amp really shines on volumes above 3 on BE channel with the sat switch off or above 5/6 with the Sat on. It is a great amp. Love it!
I would love to know your settings. Right now, I´m using:
Presence: 6
Bass: 7
Middle: 3,5/4
Treble: 5
Gain: 8/8,5

Damn still using that Barber direct drive after all these years. Your playing is always top notch Jim, there are very few guys I've heard on this forum that can hang :rock:

Gain maxed everything at noon
 
Badass!!! Sounds great man. The only thing better than that tone is the fact that you are a Steelers fan. :)

Love mine
 
I really liked that. Thanks for sharing the video, sounds great.
 
Thanks for listening. For a classic rock to 80s metal amp this thing is superb!

Have any of the dirt pedals or boosts got you close to what the sat switch does?
