I guess james valentine uses matchless amps as well judging by the footswitch he has on the board.
 
woah those are really expensive stuffs lol.

Yeah but there are always lots of cheaper alternatives that sound similar.

Dudelove: yeap saw that too, was just adding to your post. After I posted I wondered if he just used the matchless footswitch for the /13 amp haha.
 
Haha any recommendations for cheaper alternatives?

Hmm, not too sure about the amps. He probably uses a few judging by the amp switchers/ footswitches on his board for clean/ crunch or whatever. You can buy a nice clean amp that you like and add pedals to simulate the amps. I'm not that familiar with his sound tho, I just like his gear heh.

His board might be huge but its actually not that complicated if you take away all the buffers, line/ amp switchers/ pedal powers/ footswitches. After taking a closer look at his board it seems that most of his stuff can be bought for $200 or less 2nd hand. You could swap the fulldrive for a tubescreamer, the DL-4 for a nova repeater/ dd-20, zvex super duper for a vexter sho? and a vox wah would cost below $100.

I don't really know cheaper alternatives for the micro POG, OCD, octafuzz and boss volume pedal haha.
