Wow, well spotted! I wonder if he’s running the vocal mix through it?

I was thinking of the seventeen seconds session:

The Wampler is still there, but there is either a foot switch or some sort of multi-fx in front of it.

Wow very cool.
And thanks for those Facebook links I don’t do social media so I’ve not seen any of them.

Beautiful stuff, LOVE that pointy semi hollow one from the dec2021 post.
It’s sad he doesn’t play any of this stuff live.

It’s not like he needs the money from a schecter endorsement 😟

Smith had the upper pointy horn of Dubreuille's guitar modified round 2003 or 2004 (cut, rounded, filled in the some ways and re-bound). His guitar doesn't look anymore as the one Dubreuille made it originally and hence not like the one he made again for a fan.

Thank you, must be an earlier version, v1? The current version has a different knob layout.

Yes it is. Unfortunately hard to find, but unnecessarily awfully noisy.
