I love True Widow. So good. Does anyone know what kind of pick ups dude man uses in his guitar? They look to be Gibson Iommi pups.

Could be. I was really surprised how simple his gear set-up is.

"Dan: Yeah, the amps are a Fender Super Reverb and a Blues DeVille. I have an Echoplex for each amp and for overdrive I use the Blues Driver. That’s pretty much it. I split it after the Blues Driver and it runs to each amp. The Echo on each amp is different, and as for tone the Super Reverb carries more of the low-end.
MB: Do you change the settings for each song?
Dan: Not really, unless I think the tone would benefit from it. I don’t like to get down and change a bunch of stuff all the time. If it’s sounding good I’ll just let it roll."

All right, after all this research into their gear (and checking their vids on yootoob), I went and bought their first album. I'm sure that I will end up getting more of their stuff after I get through that one. Once again, ILF proves to be the awesomest of resources...

Interesting. I wonder if he ABYs or if it's in stereo all the time?
I'm definitely looking forward to experimenting with running my Vibrolux and Super Reverb together
when the ol' Super gets here.
