it's a Zach Wilson Overdrive, suppossed to be a creamy boutique high gain JCM800 type but turns out it sounds like a 1967 Univox fuzz with bad transisitors played though a Kustom pleated amp
Back in the 70s, I was in a garage band with a guy who had one of those Kustom amps. They looked kinda weirdly cool, but sounded like crap. I was playing through my Sunn, which was really LOUD. Had great reverb, too.

I had to look it up. Thanks for that information. I had no idea. Scroll down a bit and the amp history is there.

I went against them with Stalker Radar for 15 years........we took over the state contract they had in NY for over 20 years.

How much time in the day do we go "peruse" guitars? lol I live in that dream world where axes I could buy for a couple hundred bucks are now several thousand.

Yeah, PRS has consistently put out a great product to compete with Gibson and Fender. Taylor, too. Totally agree that the Silver Sky was a surprise. Looks gorgeous.
