So they needed a better amp right?

To be fair, they were limited to the technology of their time. People pushing boundaries made amps evolve.

sounds like they needed an amp with more treble
sounds like they need an amp with more mids
sounds like they need an amp with a built-in phaser.
also sounds like there's money to be made from an underserved market.

Or a cable without 60pf/ft capacitance.
I think a lot of times it's just having the buffer there to counteract the cable capacitance that makes the biggest difference. "Lifting the veil/blanket" type comments are definitely tied to high frequency roll off.

But they did make amps with another gain stage that had move assertive EQ , Soldando, Mesa, Bogner, Diezel… the list goes on and what did MFers do?…. They stuck a tube screamer in front of it… Its really boils down to undiagnosed mental illness… and yes I am aware this is the pot calling the kettle black.

Just bought an early 80’s Classic VT. Phaser works great.

I remember that cranking the Saturation on the lead channel sounded pretty lame by itself, but it could be coaxed into a half-decent "Sad Wings of Destiny" kind of sound with the right guitar and at ungodly volumes. Then adding an overdrive or distortion in front also gave pretty interesting results. plus I didn't have the channel switch, but I could mix the channels just by playing with the pre volumes. A TS9 and a Metal Muff in front gave us amazing black metal tones, and we recorded a few really filthy demos with it. The Black Widow spiders were completely rotten when I bought it, so I put V30s in it. Man I miss the times we didnt know shit about tone and gear...

Side jacks are better if you just have one pedal on the floor and not a pedalboard full of pedals

Anyone caught emulating (or even just listening to) SRV should be brutally made fun of until the shame makes them acquire better taste.

How to start a fight with white, white collar, suburban guitar players. Ask who has better tone, SRV or John Mayer.

Of course not. You need the whole pedalboard.

What if after hundreds of builds I drank the kool aid and believed that a good amp and guitar is all you need and tone is in the hands, especially bad tone
