i dont think jim reads this but if he did he would be laughing...
he loves disinformation on his guitar rig...which is *always* changing
anyway. tikidude-how ya doin, man? jim uses *no* volume pedal in his setup.
the two outs were both to mixer-one pickup/channel exclusively distortion.
the stereo image comes out of the mixer to two seperate cabs...
he has really pared down his setup of late-even adding a volpot to guitar
which he aint never done-who knows whats next...:-)
