I'll take Wronski's rig too... but the problem is, it would take me about a month to figure out how to wire it and what all the little gizmos and gadgets do.

maybe i should rephrase my comment, i would love to play through dave's rig

You're exactly right about the setup in the picture. But, there is yet another reverb besides the two fender reverb units, the reverb in the Slacktone Amp. It's almost identical to a stand alone. It has a different tone, so after I dial in the black '65 tank, I add a little bit of the Slacktone Amp reverb that has a little more upper mids. The brown '62 reverb witht echoplex to the Bassman adds a lot of depth, and space. The box on my strap alows me to drive two {or more} inputs without out getting muddy sounding.

.........................................................................................................

it looks like this (pedalboard might be wirde a bit different, but this is what it looks like. I bet the colorsound is wired true bypass, and the keeley box is there to get the boss's buffer circuit out of the signal path, I think I read somewhere that DW uses some kind of guitarstrap-attached pre-amp to drive the long cables) :

jag => into Keely true bypass looper used as A/B box one goin'in to the tuner (dead end), the other into a colorsound tremolo (continues) => A/B splitter, one side into tank - Slacktone amp, the other side into echoplex => tank => bassman.

the only effects that need dialing in are two tanks, the echoplex and a two knob tremolo. the only buttons to hit are tuner path/mainpath, tromolo on off and echoplex on off.

btw, I know it's only about number of posts, but I find it amusingly annoying or annoyingly amusing to read Dave's post and seeing in the upper left corner

!962 Fender Bandmaster, Cream Tolex, maroon grill.

!965 Reverb unit.

!965 Mosrite Mark I, Pearl White or 1966 Fender Jaguar, Inca Silver.

'62 blonde Fender Showman w/single 15" JBL tone ring cab, '63 Blonde Fender Reverb, early '60s Fender Jazzmaster in custom-color daphne blue, '59 Fender Strat for backup & tonal variety, Echoplex, Ibanez TS-808 overdrive pedal.

Sigh.

1970's ampeg vt-22
fender vibro-king combo
fender reverb unit.

mosrite mark i style
tex-mex stratocaster
25.5'' scale custom jazzmaster with different pickups.

and a few echo pedals and an overdrive.

not traditional by any means. but i love the vibro king and the ampeg vt22 is a super loud and clean amp with wonderful on board reverb.

i'd split the signal with the reverb unit on the ampeg for really deep/wet verb, and the reverb unit style verb on the VK set for a more subtle shimmer. the VK would be for the overdrive tones.

heres is my stuff:
fender "30" amp with 2x 10" speakers, a strat with a steelblock and stringsavers, and sone stompers like an ibanez analog delay, my boss tremolo and the mxr distortion+. i could see a better pait of speakers in the fender, buut i would not know exactly wich ones.
that fender 30 amp is pretty perfect and i got it really cheap from a countryband. just needed a new set of tubes and serious cleaning and a repair of the spring.
if everything got stolen, i would have to meditate a long, long time.....
and then buy 2x roland cube 60 hooked together. and get tye-dyed front panels for them. and an old deluxe reverb or two.....
i gotta stop.

if it's surf sound you're after, get a pair of weber cali's. if it fits, better yet, swap the baffle board and get one 12" cali in there.

it's cheaper then you might think: import tax on speakers is only 3% (Im pretty sure that's EU regulation so it will be the same for you but if not, Ill be happy to help out), shipping should be between 50 and 75 dollars. do the math. the dollar is at an all time low at the moment.
