Thunderbird Club

They just don't do a hell of a lot. :laugh: The 69-80 SVT midrange control is active and was probably the first amp with an active tone control although I don't know that for sure. Bassman's had an ultra low and an ultra high (separate channels) with no mid control. Dual Showman's had bass, mid, treble with a bright switch but they were basically guitar amps. Marshalls had bass, mid, treble, and presence but nothing had active controls that I know of

Didn't Acoustic 360 preamp also have an active tone control? Dunno which one came first 'though.
 
Phaser Tuesday, right? Darn that Willy. He's messing with the whole universe....if it even exists....

Love phasers. My current phaser is this Hardwire stereo phaser. 2-stage mode cops Squire's phased Thunderbird on "Safe (Canon Song) pretty well and when I get the new rehearsal space running I'll try the 10-stage with the Yamaha CP30 piano (used by Max Webster, The Cars and Field Music) for some Tony Banks/MXR Phase 100 vibe. Not that I can play it really....

I knew you would, that's the one I've been looking at, incidentally someone with as many basses and guitars as you own should probably invest in a good pair of shoes. :laugh: Oh I get it, you're toe tapping.
