My new band has a song called "The Ballad of Torlex (the Snakesking)", but "Torlex Power Box" is pretty great.

I'm thinking of making a 20w version of my amp head and if I do, I'll have to use snakesking torlex".

Does the Line 6 Helix have a Torlax preset?



Another dumb question, this time for Dr. Balls; can the Zaytone pedal run on any voltage higher than 9v? I see a lot of pedals these days that can run on 9 to 18 V for higher headroom, but I don’t know if that works on something like this, and I’ve heard that you don’t want higher headroom on a fuzz pedal anyway. Just asking because I have one outlet left on my power brick but it’s 18 V.

No, and I don't know why it doesn't.

What should be in that preset? Maybe the Sunn with like four RATs in front?

The Sssnakessking definitely eats Rats.

I think the amps most appropriate for snakeskin are either the Peavey Butcher, a Mesa triple rec or something by Dumble.

Not dumb at all. You can run it safely on 18V as well as 9V.

Sweet, thanks!

DS-1 into a Peavey Bandit or Fender M-80

Replacing the rat hair carpeting with snakeskin torlex would definitely make an M-80 sound better!

I'd guess the answer will wind up being "No..."

You want me to pm you with a heads up if something like this should happen again?

I've got my tracking info as of this AM - should be here Saturday.
