it does but what channels would they be switching? in his ampeg did he even have multiple channels? i heard he rented them? he also had a fender harvard but that defiantly only had one channel.

Can't answer that one, that's just what it kind of looks like, I know I read somewhere that Randy also had a Peavey Backstage (I think), but that looks more like a channel switcher for a Fender. At any rate that is such a cool shot of Randy,does anyone know what year that picture was taken?

I wonder where that earlier version of Randy's pedalboard ended up? What year was that picture taken?

Thanks!
I find it always a bit odd that his wah was connected at the end. (instead of first in signal chain)
I don't own a wah myself but it can be interesting to try it out.
