suddenly my 2013-2016 band is back, and the Firemist Jazzblaster is pressed back into service. good timing, as she had a good once-over as pandemic times allowed me to catch up on my amateur guitar and amp tech work.
the band also affords atmospheric touches from the Wurly model 200A, which is super vibey with built-in tremolo.
both the Wurly and the Jazzy get their own Telefunken ECC82 preamp channel in the Echolette, with freshly serviced tape delay by yours truly. i've been after that unit for decades, and finally found a worthy example last month.
my trusty EH 16 delay for looping, a DBA Evil Filter and Ottobit for processing, and Moog Super Delay for more modulated spacey atmospherics. main amps are 3 Monkeys Grease Monkey and a 1959 Magnatone 260. and just when my mates think they've heard it all, i kick in the Leslie 18 rotating speaker (fed by a hand-wired AC-15) to take it super-wide.
all in service to a 22-minute film score, performed live at our place. sounding good, it's just about gigging time!

How are you liking the Echolette? Was it tough to get it going? I also scored one last month 
but I haven't fired it up yet. Its in great shape but needs a a power cable, new loop, and a fuse. Hoping it won't be a massive undertaking beyond those relatively simple fixes.
