fxdx99? that was my first HD !

Lollar Imperials ..

I try to keep my pedal board to a minimum . With some of the new multi effects boxes that makes it easy . My Keeley Dark Side and a tuner cover a huge amount of territory with minimal footprint ( Dist/ Phase/ Univibe/ Flange/ Rotary / Delay ) , add a good preamp/DI and it makes packing for a gig a snap.

I use a Mesa Rosette 2x10 for the guitars as it has 2 seperate channels with DI out , a great workhorse that will handle bass , but it works better for Bass with a dedicated bass pre amp/di into the board.

here's the guitar deluxe version ..

As I'm pushing 68 and do regular open mikes sound, I got tired of lugging around Bass gear, then after a bit of research and tips from other players on the Alembic forum I snagged this lil gem. I was skeptical as I usually run a Mesa /Boogie 800w head and 2X15 . I was WAY pleased as was one of the other performers who played through .. ."all the sound from that little analog box? " YES ! The cab sims are great and being able to dial in the resonance is very useful. The good news is they make a guitar version ( and deluxe version ) that rock as well.

Only with my bass amp ....

now it has a burly big brother in the 50W Blue Sierra . Basically a handwired 50w plexi that's been well tweeked.

I have the red bases in my PRS Blue Sierra and am quite pleased

small amps rock , congrats!

Thanks folks , had a local artist play through it and the smile would put a chesire cat to shame .. She loved the H535 through it. Yes Bolero , The Dark Side fuzz on the right side ( Flat/Full/Scoop toggle) on the other side it has Flange/Rotary Delay and Phaze / Univibe. The DG30 loves the overdrive pedals , the Blue Sierra has so much gain they are completley wasted. The rotary switch goes from one effect to the other for the dual sounds, in the middle you get a bit of both ... a very cool pedal . Stacked univibes ( with the Hooke ) is just cool 4 days there's a button up top if you run both effects you can chose fuzz pre or post

If you keep the Master low and dime the volume you get outrageous thick fuzz , bring the master up a bit and it gets ferocious. For the Curious the pedal board : Xotic Sweet Sauce booster->Fender MTG Tube Distortion (old school) -> Keely Dark Side->Boss Auto-Wah -Keeley Hooke Reverb-: TC Stereo Chorus/Trem/Flanger -> split path 1 DG 30 / path 2 Trex Quint octave pedal set with 50% 1 octave down, 25% 5th to Blue SierraVery fun to stack the gains of the first 3 stages as the Dark side has a wicked fuzz I have set to full range (vs scoop /flat) .. Santana in a box at bedroom volumesIt also has phase/univibe/flange/leslie/delay that are quiet fun , the Hooke has Univibe/reverb and Trem /verb settings .. stacking the univibes is wild! Kick in the quint ( which I typically use for fiddle to add "reediness) and it sounds SO wicked.

All set up in stereo with my DG 30 , perfect imaging ..sonic bliss

The Blue Sierra is a close back , it just arrived ...VERY clean Texas blackface Super Reverb tone if you plug straight in . Much more sparly than the DG30 , as Grissom doesn't like bright amps as he's a bridge pickup guy

Doug Sewell is obsessed with tone and has the freedom to chase it

tres jolie

Doug Sewell's amps are thick and delicious

Waves Audio has a SW plug n for it ...

I've enjoyed my DG30 custom so much I was looking for another of Doug Sewell's masterpieces . The Blue Sierra was one of the initial models from PRS Custom Amp Dept . This is the model Derek Trucks plays . 50w hand wired EL 34 ( can run 6L6's) with a 2x12 that has seperate jacks (custom) so you can run it as a single 12 /share the cab with another amp or run both .. Just love the Paisley ...

Celestion Vintage 30 Power-Handling: 120 Watts 8 ohms The back is ported and has grill screens . The cat on the chair is Doug Sewel the amp designer

After 30 years with Mesa/Boogie when it came time for a new amp I looked seriously at the Mark V :35 with a wooden cab. I decided to keep an open mind and just received my new PRS DG 30 Custom amp and 2x 12 cab . It is a hand wired 3 x 12AX7 / 1 12AT7 (reverb) 4 EL84M/7189 single channel designed with David Grissom and Doug Sewel . By far the sweetest amp I've ever played , imagine the love child of a Fender Twin and Vox AC30

I've used my Budda Bud-Wah for years without a glitch .

thanks , the boys love them .

gorgeous!!!!

My grandsons love my H535 so much I built them clones in their favorite colors , for their birthdays (6 and 11)
