Great photos, Harry! That looks like it would be a fun event to attend.
Might as well add a shot of mine (an '83 Distillate) while I'm here!
I love the range of tones that it gets. Obviously, it can do that clear-and-present JE-ish sound, but it can also get nice warm, round R&B/classic-rock type tones (especially thru my Orange), and some pretty wild stuff too.
I recorded a tune recently that features some of these other sounds:
The distorted melody motif is the Distillate -> EHX English Muff'n -> Moog MF-104 delay -> Alembic F2-B. The bassline was recorded straight into the preamp, both pickups on, Q-boost, with the filter rolled off.
