Milkman Sound Creamer 20w (with Fane Ascension A60 Speaker) | Humbucker Tones
The Milkman Sound Creamer 20W and Fane Ascension A60 rig returns — this time with the Giordano Guitars Tributo Korina Special and its Sunbear '58 Reserve PAFs. Welcome back to Edge of Breakup.
The Giordano Guitars Tributo Korina Special — Sunbear '58 Reserve SB-PAF Humbuckers, Emerson Custom Treble Bleeds — pairs with the Milkman Sound Creamer 20W into a Fane Ascension A60 1x12" speaker. The JAM Pedals Rattler LTD and Effectrode Tube Vibe both feature.
The Sunbear '58 Reserve (now '58 Archive) SB-PAF set is Stuart Robson's tribute to guitarist Bob Wootton's original 1958 Burst — Bridge Alnico II (~8.1K), Neck Alnico III (~7.4K). Rich mids, airy highs, rounded lows that respond dynamically to playing feel, with all the bloom, width, and upper-mid complexity of a genuinely great late-1950s PAF set. Explored across clean tones from 00:47 through all three positions, showing exactly how the Creamer responds to touch and pick attack before any drive enters the chain.
The JAM Pedals Rattler LTD is built around an extremely rare NOS LM308AH can-version chip — the same chip family that powers JAM's tribute to the classic ProCo RAT circuit, here in point-to-point wiring housed in a leather-covered enclosure. Carbon-comp resistors and tropical fish capacitors for authentic vintage distortion character with modern clarity. Symmetrical clipping gives a smoother, less grinding voice than the standard Rattler, with a toggle switch that activates a lower-gain stage for a more open, less compressed, harmonically rich overdrive character. Explored into the clean Creamer from 04:03, with volume knob cleanup from 07:15, and slamming a cranked Creamer from 18:40.
The Milkman Creamer 20W's tremolo circuit gets its own dedicated section from 11:55 — harmonically rich, deep, with a genuinely wide useful speed range that sets it apart from a typical amp tremolo. The Effectrode Tube Vibe joins from 16:36, stacking with the Rattler LTD from 20:36 for a rich, swirling texture into the cranked Creamer.
