Hi glad i found the rabbit hole:) i'm extremely interested in the foot controlled b-bender setup. Are there any schematics on how to make one or a variation of one? I've been researching other b-bender options and for me this would be the most ideal instead of the b-blender or palm pedal types. I'm willing to invest in the foot setup. Thank you for any info. Great playing very inspiring.

Head to the bicycle shop?

Sounding great as always , what strings do you use ? You’ve always got a nice zing I don’t hear in everyone that plays old gretsches.

[@gasmoney51]

Thank you. I typically use XL115. 11-49. I like to get that zing too.

[@bandaidemechanic]

Sounds killer. Do you have the 10” or 12” Ivy League? And is it the stock legend speaker?

[@gasmoney51]

This amp is all stock with the 10” speaker. It’s lovely. Thanks
