Re: Billy Gibbons amp
Wow.. man... that is cool! You have to play a cool looking hotrodded guitar through that? The look of amps doesn't really do anything for me... yours just changed all that. Nice one... now show us a guitar that goes with it and that will just take the cake.

Re: Billy Gibbons amp
You don't know Butnut! Custom, uber-pimped [fill in the blank: guitars, amps, bikes, cars, furniture...] is his specialty!!!
You can't really see his unique take on a Telecaster control plate on "Goldie" shown below. The switch is labelled "Holy" & "Crap"
The "Ratfink" guitar Butnut made is another all time favorite of mine.

Re: Billy Gibbons amp
Ive got the karma to be posession of Bro Butnuts Jimmy Vuaghan reliced body. It aint easy to relic Polyurethane, but he did a great job of it. Its reliced to a degree that the abhorent (to me, leastways) thick Poly finish is taperd down to resemble a Nitro Strat, and to let that nice Alder body breathe & reverberate.
Now i neeed a Nice beautiful Maple neck and I'm in business.!

Re: Billy Gibbons amp
hehe, just saw this pic of one of the Revs special gold tops...pinstriped! I have a sweet gold top LP...hmmmm:cool2: actually this design would be nutz on my black LP too!
Notice only 3 pot holes? I'm guessing one for the toggle (no hole also) and single vol/tone....my kinda mods...****, that's a sweet goldie.

Re: Billy Gibbons amp
Thanks. ****, this amp is LOUD! Did I say that....the drummer had to be the loudest in the world! **** stainless steel Octa-plus dub bass set, head splitting loud MF...I only had it to 2.5 and it was crazy loud. Always good to know I got a lot of reserve volume left, but yeah, this combo kicks ass...and then some.
Here's my lilypics page, I don't have much luck linking it for some reason, but take a look.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Gibbons would want to buy that thing from you now. NOT AT ALL.
Incredible job. I am very, very impressed.

Re: Billy Gibbons amp
haha, kool, I don't even know if my brother uses it...thanks again mrfjones and hoss. The Legend has another volume knob out back for a lead boost volume...how kool. I just ordered a killer switch from VoodooMan custom switches. The owner had 2 of these amps!

Re: Billy Gibbons amp
Thanks again dave....not only is this amp a pretty face, it kicks ass! The missing link of my sonic quest, I had the BEST tone ever at my last gig. I use the Reverend, the Legend and a Fender. I've used the Reverend and the Fender before, but with the Legend, the perfect mid crunch. Very Marshall like, a big clear crunch with just enough gain. Using 3 amps give me such a big range of tone, when all 3 are used, it's pure rock tone. I also feel the Duncan 59s in my LP are part of the great tone, I roll the volumes down a notch to help keep the gain from going OTT. Could also be I just switched all 3 amp cables to George Ls? I don't know, but I was really shocked how great everything sounded. My buddy who gave me the amp (guitarist in my other band) came to see us, called me later to tell me that I had really great tone....he was blown away. He's a total tone freak/gear nut with Marshall, Boogie, Mesa, Soldano...we talked at length about my tone and tried to dissect it, making sure I keep it for our band too:fing2:. Hauling 3 amps and an ext cab to gigs may not be easy, but my 'wall of tone' gives me what I want. It's still 4-12s,but won't break my back like a half stack. I'll take a pic at my next gig.
