maybe he has a good amp already? i would strongly suggest Caco's DLS clone or MarkV's Shredhead.
er, he mentioned twice that he plugs into a fender blues deluxe
*edit, three times na pala
cool, thurston moore and kevin shields...I think the former used Turbo Rats and Big Muffs, while Shields used a couple of Jackhammers and who knows what else (Shields is a sick mofo).
You mentioned you were going to stack? What's your other OD/Fuzz? That might give people a better idea for suggestions.
I like them Rats.
No idea who Nels Cline is btw.
