Four Worlds. Twenty Tones.

Neck Vol 6 Tone 7 Subtle chorus + delay from the Mesa = 3D depth without touching the dry sound.

Neck or Pos 4 Vol 7–9 (ride it) Tone 7 AC+ is just a buffer here. The warm tape echo drifts from the Mesa behind you. Henderson's minimal philosophy.

Neck Vol 10 Tone 7 Badger Boost + AC+ B = two gain stages pushing the already-on-edge amp. Henderson's mids at 7 on the amp + mid push on AC+ = that vocal, talking lead quality. Barely any delay from the Mesa — just room.

Neck Vol 10 Tone 7 The SD-9 at the Landau/Henderson setting pushing the Badger Boost. Liquid Vibe underneath from the Badger's speaker. Crystal delay floating from the Mesa. Two-amp depth.

Neck Vol 10 Tone 6 Maximum gain stack. The Pattern delay from the Mesa turns your lead lines into rhythmic cells that multiply and interlock. Play staccato fusion lines. Tribal Tech energy at bedroom volume.

Pos 4 or Neck Vol 7 Tone 8 Fingers The chorus wraps your dry tone from the Badger. The crystal delay appears from the Mesa beside you. This is what Landau's wet/dry rig actually sounds like — you're running his exact approach now.

Neck Vol 7–8 Tone 7 The AC+ Boost switch adds +3dB low-mid emphasis. Warm tape echo from the Mesa adds dimension. Pure amp + boost + fingers. The James Taylor gig.

Neck or Bridge Vol 7–8 (ride for cleanup) Tone 7 Raw SD-9 through a clean amp. The Mesa adds just enough warm tape echo. Roll guitar vol to 5 for clean, push to 10 for full crunch. The Baked Potato live tone.

Neck Vol 10 Tone 7 The Vibe swirls from the Badger while the delay echoes float from the Mesa. Spatial separation makes the lead sit in its own dimension. This is what two amps were invented for.

Anywhere Vol 10 Tone 6 Rotary speaker swirling from the Badger. Two offset delays at different times from the Mesa. Maximum spatial depth. Maximum gain density. This is the wall of sound.

Neck Vol 6 Tone 6 Fingers The swell delay appears from the Mesa like ghosts materialising from silence. Each chord blooms in from nowhere. Vibe adds liquid movement from the Badger. Play arpeggios slowly. Let the space do the work.

Bridge or Pos 2 Vol 8 Tone 6 The Badger's breaking up, the AC+ B is adding punch, the Vibe is throbbing with headroom pulled back for grit. Warm tape echo from the Mesa adds room. Dig in for crunch, back off for clean.

Neck Vol 10 Tone 6 Three gain stages (SD-9 + AC+ + Badger Boost) into a breaking-up amp. Gritty Vibe from the Badger. Your notes come back at you backwards from the Mesa. Fillmore East energy. Sustain for days.

Neck Vol 7 (ride to 10) Tone 5 The infinitely rising Barber Pole phaser from the Badger + octave-up shimmer cascading from the Mesa. Your guitar ascends into space from two directions at once. Play sustained notes. Let the effects build the architecture. Hendrix at Woodstock meets 21st century processing.

Anywhere Vol 7–10 (ride for feedback) Tone 5 Four gain stages. Broken, vinyl-crackled delay from the Mesa. Infinitely rising phaser from the Badger. The Lo-Fi telephone filter degrades the delay repeats into something ancient and alien. This is the sound of setting fire to a guitar in 2026.

Neck Vol 5 Tone 6 Fingers Mesa reverb at 5–6. Everything bypassed except the Timeline. Your dry note from the Badger. Its echoes, slowly decaying, washed in the Mesa's tube reverb, from across the room. The space between the amps IS the effect. Play one chord. Wait. Play another. Listen to the room fill and empty.

Neck Vol 6 Tone 5 Slow arpeggios The formant filter gives your notes vowel shapes from the Badger — AH... OO... AH... OO... The swell delay from the Mesa brings each note in from silence, already speaking. The Mesa's reverb wraps it in space. This doesn't sound like a guitar anymore. It sounds like something alive.

Pos 4 Vol 6 Tone 7 Single chords, let them ring Your clean chord from the Badger, close and immediate. Its octave-up shimmer repeats cascading upward into infinity from the Mesa, across the room, dissolving into crystalline wash. The two amps create a sound that's both intimate and infinite. Hold the Timeline's A or B footswitch for infinite repeats, play a chord, release, listen.

Neck Vol 5 Tone 5 Single notes, slow Everything falls. The Barber Pole phaser creates the illusion of infinite descent from the Badger. The dBucket delay from the Mesa degrades each repeat — darker, warmer, more distant, as if the echoes are falling away from you into the past. Dark filter + grit + modulation on the dBucket makes each repeat less defined than the last. The Mesa reverb at 5–6 wraps the degrading echoes in warm tube ambience. This is the most beautiful tone on this page.

Neck Vol 5–6 Tone 5 Single notes, long sustain, let them die The -25 cents interval on Ice is the secret. Each repeat is slightly flat — not enough to hear as wrong, but enough to create a slow, disorienting pitch drift as the repeats stack and degrade. The formant filter from the Badger gives each note a vocal quality — EE... AH... — while the detuning Ice delay from the Mesa makes the echoes sound like they're falling into a gravity well. Long slice + max smear + long time = each repeat lasts over a second and dissolves into the next. Mesa reverb at 6. This is the most esoteric, ephemeral, and beautiful tone in this collection. Play one note. Close your eyes. Listen to two amps paint entropy in real time.
