Yo! Out of curiosity, do any of you lovely nerds happen to know any more blurb on the backstory of this thing?

Long dash silver screw shizzle doesn't fit in with anything else he was using live at the time, but it's apparently from the 1991 Peel Sessions!?

I thought his was supposed to be his DS-1? Bog standard, run of the mill, no silver screw.

But there's def a DS-1 or 2 in this pic

Not a silver screw, is this the DS2 with the Sansamp? Is that a Superfuz too?

Lots of other pics with different gear though, like the Sansamp and DOD Gungebox around In utero -- what's the big EHX box ? Polychorus?

Yeah, man. That's the 2020 auction one that sold for $9'000. That was apparently from a gig circa 25th September 1991.

This other one just sold for $75'000 :smashed: Apparently used on 3rd September 1991 John Peel Sessions. I just find the silver screw long dash a bit odd. And double odd how the backstory is vague, as fuck. :hmm:

The Frogs sticker is 100% Kurt though. I sent the pics to Jimmy Flemion who was super excited to see it.
