I just bought a black Rickenbacker 330. I am going to pick it up today, but I'm going to ship it almost immediately to have vintage-style kluson tuners installed on it, like Johnny has. I hate the look of Schaller tuners! So I won't get to enjoy it for a while yet.
I haven't bought one, but I have heard a lot of good things about the JangleBox, and the Smiths are mentioned on their web page as one of the sounds it can get you towards. It's a very transparent compressor that approximates the huge compressors studios used on the byrds, beatles etc. Especially good on a 12 string, but would be great for smiths stuff because Johnny is often playing 2 notes at a time. Btw, Johnny is using a Diamond compressor on his newest pedal board.
You can find the JangleBox here.
