LOL. Just the way you typed that made me laugh!
Oh, and I just realized how often I look at rig pics because as soon as I scrolled down to the top rack case housing the CryBaby, I was like "Hey, isn't that John Pe- yeah, it is."
Cudbucket, your setup is very clean looking. Do you use the Legacy for Vai-type stuff or just for things the RKII can't do (of which there aren't many)? I remember reading a LONG time ago that the Legacy can't exactly get the Vai tone unless you cram a JEM and a million pedals in front of it.

Yeah. I recognized the rig right away. For me, it was recognizing the combination of all the gear and that big pedal board.

I also knew right away cuz of all the Boogie stuff and the TC 2290, but also because I can name every piece of gear in that rig.

Well, I haven't had any problems with my Roadster, but, oh well... I suggest trying out a Mark IV HEAD. The combos sound quite different and from what I've ascertained on the Boogie Board, the Mark IV combos are the most finicky, as in, they don't really sound close to the head version like the other amps do. Don't know why, but you might wanna give it a shot.
But then again, seeing as you liked the Roadster, by all means. It's awesome.
well the thing that also makes me like the roadster more than the mk4 is the 4 channels, so i can have a seering lead, nice heavy rhythm sound, a nice classic overdriven sound and a nice clean sound all at the press of a button (i dont really like stomp boxes, too messy for my liking) and the roadster just by itself meets all of my requirements (besides the delays i use).
but for now my Vox AD30vt and tonelabSE are doing me quite well for what i need to do... just not getting the resonse of a tube amp (which i really want, but am not overly worried about at the moment)

I love the neck on your Silo Special...there's some hours on that puppy. Serious mojo!
main amp is a Hughes and Kettner TriAmp MkII through an Earcandy Buzzbomb 2x12 loaded with an Eminence Wizard and an Eminence Red, White, and Blue (non-EBMM content):
I have a smaller 50W H&K Duotone 1x12 combo:
my pedalboard has a Korg tuner, an Ibanez flanger, a Boss OC-2 octaver, a Boss DD-2, and an MXR EVH phase 90 (the flanger, octaver and delay are straight from the 80s):
oh man, the drool factor is high here with this one

sixtyfour, I'm using Eminence Wizards in an Avatar 2x12 cab and it sounds great with my JSX head. I prefer it to the Celestion v30s in my other Avatar 2x12. My ears hear a richer mid-range.

Mesa Boogie Tremoverb here - perhaps the most versatile amp I've ever played through with clean/vintage/blues/modern channels, then the ability to start blending the voicing between them if you want to be truly inventive. Warm, full, biting, versatile, these amps live up to the hype and more.

Well, Eminence's own ad copy does it more justice than I could do. Basically what they say is true.
The rw&b has a Fendery American voice, kind of round sounding? It does the classic rock thing really well, and even though it's rated for 120 watts rms, it breaks up kinda early and evenly. It does a good SRV, Doob Bros, etc.
The Wizard has a more British voice (Redcoat Series). It's very loud/efficient, so great for more volume and headroom. Roughly it's voiced similar to a Cel. H30, but I like the Wizard lots more. Big, tight bottom, good but not dominant mids, and a nice high end.. not spiky. It sustains all day. Very generous sounding speaker, and I use it by itself at 8 ohms. Two of them together hasn't worked well, something weird happens. Others have noticed this too, and most will combine it with another speaker successfully. I prefer it by itself.
I used three Em. red fangs for awhile. Sounded great, nice harmonics (alnico), but the bottom disappeared in a band setting, too much compression. Even after they were broken in they just sounded tinny to me, at louder volumes. The move to the Wizard sure solved that!
