Mmmm, I like! I think you could give my 100w 4x12 Mesa Trem-o-Verb a run for its money. =)

Lately I've been expirimenting with putting the delay *before* the distortion.... I have a multifx ( Boss GT-3 ) that i've been playing around with, and I've found some interesting textures by putting a modulation effect, delay, and reverb (in that order more or less) before my overdrive/distortion.

Anyways, the only thing that I might do different is put the chorus before the Blues driver, but it does depend on how they interact, sometimes with those old DOD pedals driving them with distortion really makes them do crazy stuff.

I've been embracing a real simple approach to guitar lately, after years of running multiple pedals and pedal boards together... i'm back to using one multifx and sometimes a wah. I've also recently been playing around with two amps at once. It's a pain to try and make that happen, but it sounds amazing when you can make two amps switch at the same time.

I'm sorry Paul, but I know just about nothing about amps,or electric guitars, I play classical, I owned a giant amp with my strad years ago, but it wasn't my thing, classical came natural to me electric didn't, and besides I lived in an apartment at the time and had complaints because of the noise so I sold it....so I never really got into electric guitar. I have a very old Gibson from the late thirty's, or early forty's, it was the big body one with the F holes, it was originally and acoustic, but my father ruined it by making holes in it to electrify it, he used to played the Jazz clubs in Philly...... I've never even played it !!!!! So when it comes to electric guitars and amps, I have no clue, sorry. But my cousin Seymour Duncan is a master at this kind of stuff, why not try his web site and where it says contact me, ask him these things, he's really a genius when it comes to pickups and amps. He grew up in New Jersey but established his huge business in California !!!!!!!! I don't even know if this will go through, like I told you I had a violation for sending someone to google for the expertise of breeding parakeets, and no, I'm not kidding !!!!!!!!!!

wow seems like you have a bunch of different overdrive pedals. go to www.bosspedals.com they have some help
