I'm playing the Marshall SV20H and the pedals into a 1971 Marshall 1960A 4x12 Cabinet with G12M25 75Hz Pulsonic coned Greenbacks (T1221) using a 2013 Gibson SG Standard CS Aged with a 1979 DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge. The close mic is a 1960s Beyer M160 and the room mic is a 1960s Sennheiser MD21. MicPre is Neve 1073DPX (EQ bypassed)
