For now I only have one Ball to play with. This is my everyday equipment. My main squeeze is a Fender Frontman 25R. I use the Vox Pathfinder 15R when I'm in the mood for some extra twang.
The Pignose Hog 20 I use to playback whatever song I may be attempting to play along with for my YouTube page.
I don't use the Pignose 7-100 very much, it's just cool to look at. lol
The Van Halen record (their first) I'm in the process of recording and burning to CD.

(FYI, the stuff blocking the railing is there so my blind cat :( doesn't fall off of my loft.)


Here are a few (but not all) of my other amps.
My '69 Fender Bandmaster-Reverb amp head (I sold the speaker cabinet) on top of my '73 Super-Reverb, both of which I bought new and I used to play in various bands with, way back in the late '60's and '70's, before I retired from the band business in 1979................after failing miserably trying to play the solo of Toto's "Hold The Line". That made me realize I had better find a "regular" job. lol Whoever played the solo in that song had waaaaaaaaaaay more ability than me. :cool:

Sweet man. Real sorry I couldn't make it out. Shoot me a PM or email and let me know when the next one is and I'll make sure I make it out. What'd he say about your rig?

from a recent visit to Wilbert's in Cleveland:

had the opportunity to try an EZG-50 and a Galaxie from Dr Z (running into separate 210 and 410 cabs) :)

... course, the SRZ-65 also got some play time (think it's hiding behind me somewhere)

cheers always, eh

Though I'd post an updated pic.

2 x 100W Guytron heads. Dual preamps into an 18W output section, slaved and re-amped by a plexi-style 100W output section. Covers Vox, Marshall, Fender in a single amp.

Top one is one of the first 30 made and recently re-wired by Guy Hedrick. Best amp I've ever played, hands down (Tommy you were right on!). Bottom is the newer FV model.

Suhr Badger 18 head + matching cab:

Whole bunch of cabs not shown ;)

6 watts of in your face POWER!!

just kidding, but I like the little Champ Clone Head I built. The chassis is finished but as you can see the cab is not. It can use 6V6 or 6L6 finals. I'll skin her up this winter on a cold dark day.. for you cabinet makers out there, instead of dovetails I used hardwood dowels on this little head cabinet. I run the Sub1 into a Digitech RP250 (newer model) then into the head and out to a homemade 2X12 cab with Weber Sig and Celestion made Carvin GS12-75-8. It's plenty for the bedroom. I also have a 65 Deluxe Reverb, a 78 Princeton reverb and a 71 Champ at my disposal. I'll be building a Hoffman boarded blackface Princeton Reverb Combo this winter too.

New Rig.

Thought I'd try something different.

* Furman
* Fractal Audio Axe-FX Ultra
* Tech21 Power Engine 400 (2x200W)
* 2 x Custom built Thiele TL806 Cabs loaded with EVM12L Black Labels

I was as sceptical as hell when I first started looking into these, but I've gotta say this thing never fails to amaze me......

Just awesome.



The MM 410-HD, PSA1 and Mesa 20/20 amps are in storage until the new house is built.

....although I have an old H&K 75W combo I never actually use an amp for live use any more - with the volume of gigs we do I got sick of carting this thing all over the place three times in a weekend (lazy or what).

So - for live use I just use my trusty old GT-5 with two Ultra-G 4x12 simulators panned left and right into the desk....awesome petrucci like sound without carting any cabs!

I used to have a Pearce combo....awesome - I want one of those again but they're so rare!
