Always good to have a backup.

I was gonna say... Billy could just point to his sig pick to answer this question... :lol:

Yeah, but Billy doesn't have 2 AD's. Don't you gig that the most these days, Billy?

I still have two OR120's technically...
Just one of them I haven't seen for over 20 years :lol:

My mate who had a rehearsal/recording studio on Wapping Wall wanted me to move down there. Our band of which he was playing bass for at the time used to live down there at weekends and we did a few gigs... the most memorable been at a Squat in Peckham's abandoned dole office!

We both used the OR's on them gigs but I never moved down and over the years we lost touch :(

Well, I had 3 rocker 30's once before. It's a long story, but yep, I had 3 at one time. 8)

back in the day i had several marshall 800's, and was piled high in fender twins.

i thought i had to have them. my arms are longer now because of it.

as micheal said of leon spinks, back then i was a whole lot dumber.

well, in a band context, would you just be better off with 2 cabinets and one amp, or 2 amps (that are the same) and 2 cabs? I mean would the 2 cabinet effect thicken up the guitar about the same as 2 separate amp rigs?

If I had 2 of the same, I'd run 1 cleaner than the other for some textures, and have a a/b/y switch.
