I know I have a few more waiting for me just can't remember at the moment. I live in Canada, but have been sending pedals to a friend in Buffalo (easier as no one wants to ship to Canada) I pick most of them up this week.
 
I'll be using a 2013 fender American deluxe jazz, Ernie ball stingray hh, and a 2001 fender hot rod p with lindy Fralin 5% overwound.

I also plan an using my Eden wt800 with a 410 xst cab. and the Ashdown ABM evoii 500 410 combo
 
How about throwin in the Hardwire cm-2 tube overdrive? Lots of good reviews, would be cool to see how it stacks in this context.


I think you have this one don't you duke? I just threw it back on my board to substitute for the VMT while I'm waiting on the outlaw. It's no VMT but it'll do for a could weeks. Now that I've actually played through a tube, not an amp, but the blue tube, I really have to hand it to the CM2, they got it pretty dang close to the real thing IMO. Great pedal for very cheap used.

I keep hearing about this submarine pedal ever since I joined TB. Why is it a game changer? I'm pleading ignorance on this one. Now I'm gonna want one haha
 
I'm in Cleveland on business, there is a CM2 here. I'll grab it for sure,

also, there a 3 submarines, the original, the original with sub switch and the zeibek designer which is the original with all kinds of goodies added.

I can pick up a submarine, have a line on one now. But the zeibek designer is very rare and someone on this board has one and I want it.;) tried buying, trading, bribing and getting it cloned. No luck yet.
