Fender Twin, reissue -- I've heard a lot of discussion about the reissue, a lot of mixed reviews. So I ended up playing on a 73', a 76' and some other models, and you know what. They were all sonicallly similar. In fact, the reissue actually has better reverb, trem, and can be pushed a little harder than older models. I'm pleased with the Fender Twin, its a serious amp, and if you have the right overdrive, you can contend with metal nerds
Now for the guitar, its a customized Fender Stratocaster built in 2005. I refretted it with jumbo frets, slightly larger and a little more raised. Installed Sperzel tuners, and hey, if you don't know what these are-- figure it out and go buy some because they are the best tuners on earth, and if you dispute this then you're a dork. Oh, and Strap locks, they might be Dunlop, I forget. Its a hard tail, which means theres no springs or floating bridge, it just goes straight into the body, no trem bar (wah big deal), but because of this (and because of the Sperzel tuners), it holds tuning exceptionally well. The pickups are Seymour Duncan, neck to bridge is SSL-5, SSL-3, (and in the picture) a Little 59' that has been replaced with a Li'l Screamin' Demon.

Truly a unique Stratocaster, this thing fuckin' rips.
Now for the pedal game...

Fulltone Clyde Delux Wah Pedal
-Throw away whatever you bought at Guitar Center and go find one of these, 10/10 wah pedal.
Seymour Duncan SFX-3 Twin Tube Classic Preamplifier
-This thing is out of control, it has two channels and sounds absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this as a distortion pedal.
Boss RC-20 Loopstation
-Fun to mess around on, hard to use in a practical manner with an actual band, unless you're a metronome.
MXR Phase 90
-Very subtle phase pedal when kept at 0, seldom put this thing past 2-3, at that point it starts to get really obnoxious.
To be honest, I'm not really big into pedals.
Hope you all enjoyed checking out my gear, if you don't know about any of this stuff its worth looking into. The price range isn't at all crazy and for what its worth, it sounds great.
- Pedaltrain Pro - this thing is pretty cool, its very light and wasn't that over priced which is what you want for gear I guess, haha.
- Electro-Voice N/D767a - A lot of people have different opinions of microphones, I chose this one because it responds well to my voice, although, it is a very bright microphone.
- ZVex Fuzz Factory - Go YouTube it, its legit.
- Boss NS2 - It's a noisegate.
- Peavey whateverwhocares - I sing out of this thing as a practice amp.
