Default what makes that amp different?

technical correction

howard Roberts Fusion. It also comes in flavors. I played a few. They are like shrunken gibson birdlands. They have a warm acoustic tone and a comfortable neck.
The Gibson signature Guitar. We can only hope. You might want to read Martin Celmins biography on the debacle in Germanywhen they arranged a Gibson sponsored tribute concert for him to showcase the Les Paul and peter did not have one and was not interested in playing one. They wanted to make one then (1995?) but he blew them off. He said he would colabarate with gibson after he died....
So Gibson instead made a Jimmy Page Les Paul with a special B B King switch that puts the humbucher out of phase....hmmmm I wonder where they got that idea? If you want the official Peter Green Guitar you would have to settle for Jimmy Page and write peters name on it.

In "Strange Brew" a recent book about the british blues boom, iit says that Hamer guitar technicians actually looked at peter's guitar which was then in the hands of Gary Moore. Gary brought it in after he broke the neck of it in a car crash. They reafirmed what you said about the way peter put the pickup back together. It does have such a wonderful sound , doesn't it.

what is the setup on the thre of a kind amplifier?
