Funny how he keeps saying he doesn't know much about the gear, but then starts going into details anyway 
.
Cool to see - of course wish list would be to have a brief sound check of each played - thanks for posting the link!

Are any of those custom mods of his going to see normal production like the Selma or Supertrem?

I hope - I'd love one of those Selma mods. Jeff allowed his Stars Stonerverb maybe Billy will as well...would be sad if all that R&D work and cool new mods were only for Billy and not able to be shared with community

lol, he is looking a little sloppy these days isn't he... not to mention i always thought his tone sounded like a DS-1 slamming any amp he could get his hands on. These modules can only improve his tone..

I think the "crappy" tone has been part of the magic behind the Smashing Pumpkins. I haven't given much past their box set any attention, I miss the fuzzy grunge songwriting days. Not real big on the electronica/experimental side of Mr. Corgan. They will still always be a top ten act for me in spite of that opinion. I do think that the impure tone was something that was thoughtfully approached, and well executed.

I can explain all these modules. It was my work in Billy?s studio in Chicago, May 2012.
All modules were A/B compared and tweaked there, until Billy was satisfied with their sound.
1. Selma - based on Billy?s Selmer Treble?n ?Bass amplifier, includes bright and normal channels, switchable volume boost
2. Mars - based on Billy?s SOUL amp (JCM 800 2203 with Chinese KT88)
3. BC 01 (Billy has "BC Marsh" written on his pedalboard switch for this module). Slightly modified 4th channel of Salvation Mods Mash All module. Later on interview Billy says it is 90?s High Gain Marshall sound, great for Melon Collie stuff.
4.) Module based on 1959 RR white Marshall amp.
5.) J-Watt based on Reeves Jimmy amp (Jimmy Page signature).
6.)Vamp, basd on Billy?s Vampower amp. Push Pull Gainpot switch engages Fuzz mode
7.)VH4 module - aka Salvation Benzin.
8.) Supa Trem69 - module based on Billys Marshall Super Tremolo. Includes Bright and normal channel and gain boost.

Were you able to incorporate the tremolo effect into the Supa Trem?
