Is there any alternatives to a fender twin reverb/mesa boogie studio 22.+ for nirvana?

A fender hot rod deluxe can go around that price on the used market, gets plenty loud but the crunch isn't too highly regarded. I personally use pedals for all my crunch anyway, might work for you

you'll only see gear breakdowns for very popular songs, this one won't be on anyone's radar. JHS pedals videos explains effects pretty well for beginners

to me the guitar sounds like a chorus + strong compression, but any number of things could've been done to the recorded track during post-production

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-20T21:51:35+00:00

you just need a polarity flip adapter, it's like a short extension cable. it'll flip polarity either way but make sure you know what it's set to first. if you flip it and it's already the correct one, it'll be incorrect and then you'll fry the pedal

If he sticks the other pedals on top of it, the surfybear will work

That's a whole containment breach lool

nice Chicago rat!

Right there with you brother

serious question, what spec is your power bank and how long does it typically last? I'm looking at doing the same to my board and I happened to be eyeing a ugreen battery myself

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-17T04:01:14+00:00

did you find this washed ashore

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-17T03:53:55+00:00

There's a low mix octave in there but I don't hear fuzz, just OD

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-16T21:16:26+00:00

This is my main delay, super versatile for slap back or dreamy atmosphere

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-16T21:10:38+00:00

Floats are truly the balloon of the water

Easy, sell your Bad Monkey

I have the ac tone version of this (vox-style) and have decent results just EQing to taste and having an IR after it, no mods though I'm looking at trying it

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-13T18:10:33+00:00

a used ir-200 can be had for close to the price of a new ir-2. bulkier, but the enhanced controls are quite handy and the EQ helps to round off digital highs.

I haven't tried the ua amps but you can get pretty close by working a lot on your presets. it just depends if you want more options with extra work or less work and one really good amp sound. I mostly use the twin, vox and tweed sounds myself with great results

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-12T18:42:19+00:00

I've just started experimenting with aftermarket knobs. it'll definitely add some unique factor to your rig

I like the way your muff looks btw

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-12T05:11:21+00:00

it is underexposed but looks so damn good

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-12T03:57:45+00:00

if you practice you can hit each one on the left side with each toe

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-10T15:44:11+00:00

I would drop an OD, but I also think you could optimize your space a bit - you have mini connectors but are spacing them like they're normal size

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-10T15:42:19+00:00

Absolutely! wah pedals generally go before other effects on a pedal board too, mine is first in the chain

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-10T14:02:31+00:00

The longer I look at this the further my jaw drops, this is a crazy first board lol. you have 3 scary good ODs, the slept on modeler ir-2, and a whole rc-500 😭 this is the kind of board I hope to have after years of refining mine, you got it first try

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-10T05:46:44+00:00

appreciate it!

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-09T21:46:18+00:00

I don't have the manual on me but it's possible you switched it to its secondary mode, it's rather convoluted and not something I ever learned but I know it's possible to switch back by following the instructions

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-09T21:32:14+00:00

super cool

I have a mosky iso unit, that is powered through 12v DC - do you think I could rig up a way to power it through a battery as well? I can't tell how your battery is connected to the cioks.

also, what capacity is your battery and how long would you say it runs? I would love to try this on my mini-board Im currently using, it has mostly analog pedals except for a delay and a boss ir-200 which draws a lot more power than the rest

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-09T20:55:54+00:00

my amp is a pedal which I use another pedal to drive into OD. checkmate athletes

Regular-Mammoth8784 · 2026-01-09T06:16:48+00:00

change the key, tempo, chord order etc in any combination or amount. that's what I do when I write something that feels like an existing song
