Great vid! Love the Tumnus. I have one in my gain stage board. Since I got the Mesa Boogie Flux Drive I’ve switched it use. I use to use it as my 3rd gain stage. Now I use the Flux as 3rd and have been keeping the Tumnus gain at 0%. It really works beautifully as a 1st gain stage where it’s giving first break up off a clean tone. I was using a Spark for that purpose but I’m gonna put my Spark to the end to Boost now and use my TS mini as 2nd stage drive so new lineup is Tumnus > TS Mini > Flux Drive > Boost

Update. I tried many different configurations with my drives and decided the way I originally arranged it worked best. So no changes

@Rich Corey ur right. There’s just something tho that makes me feel like I’d be cheating by buying a double humbucker Tele for my first Tele lol

@Doug DeLuca I wear many hats 😂 yeah for worship I don’t think I could go wrong with any of them. Which makes it so hard to decide

I’ve never used the Green Martian or a Super OD. I have a Tubewcreamer Mini. My understanding it’s the same as the TS9. I use it for very slight distortion and to stack with either a Tumnus or Flux Drive. Thanks for the shootout!

@Shawn Kirkham George Harrison I think is my “spirit animal” so to speak. I had a super strange supernatural experience in 2001 right before his death that involved his death. I never thought of him as an inspiration per se. But bc of that experience I now feel somewhat attached to him. To make a super long crazy story super short. I saw an event surrounding his death unfold about a week before it happened. And no I don’t consider myself a psychic that can see the future

@Daniel Goncalo it wasn’t until later that I found Sister Bennett inspiring. It had more to do with her teaching kids to play guitar. I found myself later on in life teaching young kids at church how to play guitar. I didn’t think I had much of an impact but I have kids and parents telling me how much that meant to them and their kids. I’m not sure if she felt the same way I do. But it’s an amazing feeling knowing that at least a couple of those kids will probably lean to the musical talents in the future. I know when I was having a tough time growing up that immersing myself into guitar was very healing. It was almost my super power that other kids didn’t have. So now I super appreciate what she did in my life and see where her small footprint in my life ended up being super impactful
