How does he hook up the matchless amps?
Billy chains them together. Into Input 1 on first amp > Output from Input 2 to second amp.
Does he normally play with both DD-3s on at once? I notice their settings are quite different. I’d love to hear which settings refer to which songs. I would assume the one set with much more delay is used for the Love songs as opposed to the Electric or newer songs.
One is for short surfy slap-back delays and the other is for longer delays.
Oh ok, Thanks
This rig is so amazing! One of the best I’ve seen! But maybe that’s just because it’s so similar to mine.
