For the record, Buddy sets his amps as follows….
Bright V 12, Normal V 12, Treble 12, Bass 1, Middle 1, Presence 12. I

It’s amazing he doesn’t blow the amp up everytime he plugs in.

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
