Keep in mind the Bauhaus one is taking advantage of the effects loop and expanded tonal range just a tad, so it'll be harder to get that sound with a stock Lunchbox. Ken is the man. It's not too high gain so it runs delays up front okay, but you won't get that kinda snap back effect, and if you want to use the gain on board for medium gain with high output pickups or a clean boost/OD obviously the effects loop comes in handy again. It's okay for solo/lead kinda delays which normally don't work well up front. The delay would come in handy as a bit of a boost up front too.

Anyone else think it sounds a lot like a Bassman crossed with a JC120? It almost exactly somes it up for me. Some of the tones are a bit more Fender Twin though, and it gets kinda plexier when you boost it.

Didn't get a chance to record any Devis with it. Tried out the Soda Meiser at a friend's and it didn't work out too well with his guitar for some reason espeically with any dirt on the amp(later found it was low on battery) but took it home and it worked awesome. You need to roll the tone knob back a bit with fuzzes to get the right sound though is the only thing, the SM is fairly dark but the amp is quite bright.

The Nrodstrands are really nice.
Very old school while having better dynamics and articulation if that makes sense.

In a perfect world, I’d be able to get a set wound the same direction, non-hum canceling, cause I like that, but they are great pickups as they are.
