Bill,
I put together a second, more portable pedalboard. I decided to give the Twin Tube another try. Gotta say, I'm loving this pedal. Having played around with it a lot more, I now know the type of OD/distortion tone it's capable of and what it's limitations are. Set the way it is, the rhythm channel comes unbelievably close to my Hiwatt's naturally overdriven tone. The lead channel is perfect for Black Crowes type stuff. Really glad I gave this baby a second (make that a third) chance. The Radial Trimode is awesome. Another tube-driven distortion pedal. The only change I'm making is to swap out the equalizer for my Keeley Katana. Every once in a awhile, the Trimode needs a tiny kick in the ass.
By the way, if anyone is looking for great modulation effects and has limited real estate on the board, I can't say enough about the new T.C. Electronics Nova Modulator. It's got phase, flange, chorus and tremolo all in a compact, relatively simple to use package. And at $249, quite a bargain for all you get.
