I love my Big Shot.

Have you tried using it to play two amps simultaneously?

Yep, I use my other tube amps in stereo depending on the mood. Most of the time I stack the Deluxe on top of a 1 x 12 cab that I have hooked up to the Tweaker 15 head that sits on top of the Deluxe. Those two amps together are a good match. When I do the rig in stereo I add my Zoom G5, that thing has some good Rotary, Vibe and stereo effects and it can get some trippy sounds and it has a looper..

I have the Zoom G1X amp simulator and use it frequently. The flange, chorus, and tremolo aren't all that good but I have stand-alone pedals for the former two and built-in tremolo in all of my Fender amps for the latter. What's also cool about the Big Shot is, you can configure two independent signal chains and mix them. Example: one "dry" and the other with effects. Running two amps in such a scenario yields some intriguing stereo results.

You might consider a 70s Silverface at a price similar to what one of the aformentioned amps cost new. You'll also get every penny back for it, should you ever need to part with it. They are hand-wired and serviceable. Kind of a no-brainer, IMHO. :wink:

The SFDR market is high $$$, now. I know, just bought a nice one (1968). Tone-wise, I need to get over to my friend who has a DRRI (with Tone Tubby red alnico speaker) to compare.

SFPR are a better deal. I don't know what a PRRI sound like. But a SFPR sounds mighty good. Typical repair & upgrade parts (like caps, speakers, tubes) are readily available. I've redone plenty AA1164 and B1270 PR's. Very reliable tone machines, once fitted with new cap can and biased correctly. FWIW... :mrgreen:
