Members Non-Digital Tom Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 I just got back from visiting the guy with one of the largest pedal collections on the East Coast - Tony Scrambler! People who have Analog Man's Guide To Vintage Effects are familar with the Tony Scrambler Collection, which is brilliantly documented in the book. Tons and tons of cool pedals, Plexi Marshalls, lots of cool guitars... Holy shiite! I totally hit overload... I'm still numb. We almost blew his windows out with his vintage Hiwatt DR103 and the Les Paul. Good times! Man, I thought I had a lot of stuff. I usually feel like a shameful gear glutton, but my collection seems much more modest now. Thanks Tony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the honor of playing his REAL 59 Les Paul through his 60s Plexi and man if Heaven had a sound..........that was it! Tony's a great guy and I look forward to hanging with him at NAMM this year ( we had a blast last year ) Did you guys go for egg creams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to play it for a couple of hours straight. I played it through about 8 different amps. And I brought him a '59 Gibson GA-40 Les Paul amp to match his '59 LP. BTW - No egg creams, pizza.

Members monkeyland Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 i got to play what i believe was a 59 paul through an original plexi myself earlier this year and it was indeed heaven. i say what i believe to be a real 59 because the owner wouldn't tell me what year it was...he just said that it was exceedingly rare and i may never get my hands on another one. it was however unreal and currently lives in south west florida. we had a hotplate and a beano boost going also through a mojotone openback 212 cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members analogmike Posted December 5, 2005 Members Share Posted December 5, 2005 Very cool!! Tony came to my shop and I showed him my Les Pauls and it was funny, he was afraid to touch them even though he has the real deal! I have to make it down there and try those amps but I think it will be VERY hard to put that guitar down. At least I can be happy that mine have more flame We'll see which one sounds best!
