As you can see, I was very bored. I got the idea from http://www.guitargeek.com and I copied the amps and stuff, but put the jacks and wires in different places and that. This is a rig I'd always want, but I'v recently got into Orange amps too but guitargeek didn't have anyone who used Oranges , so... you know :P

I already have the pedals and one Twin.

Why two twins, and two vibros? You'll never need both on. Even at arena shows, you're always miking amps to mix them, just like local gigs.

And you'd want all four amps on at all times? NO A/B switch or something to swtich between them?

Interesting setup, powerful, and a bit more punchy with the 15" speakers. It reminds me of a much larger rig I once used, that consisted of 4 silverface twins, and 2 silverface Dual Showman Reverbs loaded with JBL D130's in the cabs.
The effects were all racked and split out to specific amps by way of Rane SM-26 line level mixers.
The guitar tone was awesome, but so was the task of moving that rig and setting it up.
Then, there's also the consideration of how those old vintage amps were getting beat up on the road like that.. I sold the Dual Showman's, and kept the Twins, and had custon built shock mount rack cases made to house two Twins in each case, one on top of the other, and the cases open like rack cases...front and back covers removed. They are still a bear to move, but they are well protected now.
My ultimate setup will be to aquire two Cyber-Twins, and mount them into a case like the ones the Silverface twins are in, split the line outs to the Silverface Twins and to a mixing desk direct via two ADA Microcabs.

...No open mics, and TONS of tube guitar amp tones!

Insanity can be fun too... 8)

When I say this is the rig I want, thats if I ever got to the point of playing gigs on the 'big stage'. For now, I just got a new Twin Reverb which I'm happy with for now. Saying that, I (obviously) still wouldn't say no to owning the amount of amps in the picture.

How does the Tubescreamer get along with the Fuzz face? I have a TS-808 and I'm thinking about adding the Fuzz face to my lineup.

One is an Overdrive, while the Other is the Fuzz pedal.

If you put the Fuzz pedal first, you'll get a lot more hair on the notes which then get boosted with the Overdrive.

If you switch them around, then you get stronger signal going into the Fuzz which then kind of sounds like your Fuzz pedal is on steroids

so bassically depending upon the guitar your gonna get an SRV sound cuz he used almost the same set up. which is cool. the tube screamer and fuzz face are really hairy together. lots of sustain tho. my rig is similar guitar-compressor-volume pedal-wah-tube screamer-anolog delay-boss dd20-peachfuzz fuzz pedal-tuner-twin reverb.

Good. They sound good when there both switched on at the same same too, because it sometimes gives the fuzz face a bit more of a 'voice'. The only thing what can happen sometimes is the volumn goes alot higher too what you have it set as.
If you are going to use a fuzz face now, make sure its first or second in the chain because it can clean up well when you roll the volumn back on your strat in them positions. (As you probably know, supposing you own one).
