What the heck is it?!

I spy:
Furman
Tuner
Assuming preamp
Avalon
Savage Poweramp

Then old-school pedals!?

Outstanding setup!!!!! That's tone!

But I see stomp boxes...

Cool pics! Didn't know there were any out there. I would LOVE to know what's going on with that rig. I've literally been listening to that rothbury show for the last year straight trying to absorb the tricks Bob pulled out that day! He was on top of the mix for most of the show delivering some serious goods.

That tone is everything I want to achieve: TONS of clean sustain, plenty of bassy "weight" to the higher notes, sparkly high end, huge responsiveness, as the harder strums sound like the guitar is screaming, but without really having much, if any, distortion. Every note of every chord pops out.

I hear a little bit of a subtle slap delay kind of effect. Some sort of crazy envelope filter effect on parts of some songs.

Overall though I have no clue how he gets that kind of sound.

Is he using that Vox amp?

Help - i may be blind. Is this show on Archive?
