I can’t imagine playing through horns like that. They’re piercing.

They look like a truck or boat horn.

Lots of ear-pain potential there! Looks like an ancient tape-delay on the right cab...

I’d keep the Echoplex and dump the rest. I remember gibson sending out a flexi disc demoing it when it first came out.

My old Seattle band opened for him the in late 80s. At that time he was playing in The Dinosaurs along with people from various other famous Bay Area hippie bands. Good times.

And in truth, I'm currently working up a slde bass rig that'll use some pretty similar concepts. What is old is new...or sumthin'.
