My friend Anthony Coscia designed this little combo cabinet for my The Amp pedals - called the Milk Crate

you can find them at his website:

all the time! I have a 3 Leaf Audio Proton which sounds awesome. Slow swells sound like a synthesizer filter sweep and if you pick fast you can get some nice disco action going

Tucker is correct - I use my Amp 100 for pedal steel almost exclusively. My rig is pretty simple:

Emmons S12
Pop Top Boost into a Goodrich L120 passive VP

Hey Jeff - I have a keyless Williams S12 Extended E9 I would like to sell. The steel has a Telonics Pickup and a wood neck - very fun instrument to play!

I am selling one of my Williams steels because it's way too nice to be sitting around unused. This steel has a fairly typical Emmons copedant with a 0 pedal (dropping low E down to open C#) There is a ...

if it were me I would replace that entire plywood cabinet with the dado baffle and frame with a brand new one made from solid Pine.

they definitely made it their own - theres a button on the side which turns it into a Univibe!

Hey Steven - it depends on which model amplifier you have, but in general I find a good starting point to be "all knobs at noon" and from there you can make minor adjustments.

Yeah they seem to be the same as MOD, maybe they spec them a bit differently or adjust the springs manually and slap their new sticker on.

No idea if he still uses them but they were OEM in the Milkman amps.

yes I do! Standard OEM in every tube amplifier I build

The Proton by Three Leaf Audio is the best I have used and closest in sound to my original Mutron pedals

it tracks steel very well

Yes I still do the dual channel amps on request.

After years and years of building amps for players that do double duty I have some thoughts but the main take away is that I think its better to f ...

if the headphone output sees something it doesn't like, it'll draw too much current and put the amp into protection. Use the "pedal out" when using The Amp as a pedal - the headphone amp is ...
