I don't agree with this, but what's new, LOL 
There's tons of shows where he only uses one. El Mocambo being one of them. You can see when he steps on it, and when it's not on, his tone is clear as a bell. There's also a lot of older shows where he uses nothing. This is before he got signed of course, and before the Tubescreamer was out, so that's makes sense, LOL.
It would be impossible for him to use a vintage 60s 808, since they came out in the late 70s.
I've seen him use two Tubescreamers on a couple of shows, so you're right to a point. It doesn't end the debate like you say, because he didn't ALWAYS use two of them.
SRV didn't use the tubescreamer as much as people think he did, IMO. I can hear when he turns it on, it's not transparent at all, so its really easy to hear whether or not he's using one. SRV played clean quite a bit, some people tend to forget that. What I mean by clean, is no pedals, because he was getting a tad bit of OD from his amps.
Once again, YMMV, IMHO, blah blah 
Here's a once pic with SRV using a TS10
And another with only one tubescreamer, click the link. The photo is copyrighted.

mmmm i defo agree on the not using 2 screamers together, but i reck he did use 1 quite a lot.
He didnt have the "overdrive" knob turned very high, he used it for volume , and also had tone up so it was quite trebly.
info comes from site below.

My thoughts exactly. I think it would be safe to say that he used atleast 1 TS 100% of the time.
I definitely agree about him using the TS as a boost, rather than an actual overdrive. He would have had a nasty sound if he would've added a bunch of OD from the pedal, he was getting enough from the amps, IMO.
I notice this if I start to add to much OD from my TS based pedal, it gets WAY to honky, from the midhump that the TS creates. Using it as a boost is the way go. |

Hey was SRV using Bassman combos near the end? |
He used an origional `59 Tweed Bassman on Family Style, which , from what I`ve read, was becoming a constant in the studio. Caint beat a tweed Bassman, cept maybe a low powered tweed twin!!
