KWS has also been a fan of the Analogman switching system. I think it was an A/B + Tuner mute.

I found some of the old rigs I had found back when I was going to write for the site. Here's some of the pics I gathered from KWS's rigs over time.

I'm pretty sure he's still got some Twin Reverbs (Blackface probably) and in the picture you have right now I can see what looks like a Hot Rod Deluxe, Vibroverb,Twin, Bandmaster, and a ton more!!
