No guitars or cables?

Nice to see another RV owner on the EBMM forum!

Nope...that's it

Very nice! What's that guitar on the floor in the first pick? Is that a Thorn? How long have you had your RV100? I've got an RV50 on top of an Orange 4x12. Lots and Lots of bottom.

Thanks! The guitar on the floor is the love of my life- McNaught Vintage Singlecut. No set-neck guitar can even come close to the quality and tone of that guitar. I've had the Rockerverb 100 for about 8 months, and couldn't be happier with it. Big, fat, beefey hot-roded Marshall tone.

I'm currently running a Mesa/Boogie Rectoverb 50W head through a Trutone 2x12 cab that has Weber C1230s in it. It sounds great (fantastic clean channel) but the distortion sounds arent my thing. I just did a loooong shopping/research stint for amps and I've settled on a Carvin Legacy as its replacement. I enjoy playing the Legacy a lot more than the Boogie.

Cool. A buddy of mine has been playing a Yamaha T100 (the Soldano one) for a few years and has just decided to switch to the Legacy. He tried one out that another band had at a gig and he just fell in love with it. It would be nice if one could go to an actual store front to check one out, though!

If you ever want to unload that VHT power amp...I get first dibs...

Does anyone here use a bass amp+pedal to get more crunch out of their distorted guitar?

I've been considering trying this because I like a really crunchy thick tone and well I play bass so I can kill 2 birds with one stone. But I play on a practice amp so I dont really know

it took me a couple of tries before I landed on SWR. the real trick with using bass amps for guitars (that I have found) is picking the right amp for your guitar and the sound you're looking for. it sounds really obvious, but once you get into experimenting with bass amps it becomes clear that nearly all of the different brands sound REALLY different from one another. my solution was to pick the best clean tone of them all, then start experimenting with distortion pedals until I found the right one of those.... (in my case the right 6 in various combinations) you might want to try a 2 amp setup too (and as laughable as this sounds, give the Peavey Nashville series a try. I was surprised with the results from running a ProCo Rat and an analogman TS-9 into the front of my friend's....)

That probably won't ever happen, but If I do I will let you know. It is the best Poweramp I have EVER used. It is one of the first ones built in 1991. It was owned by Mick Mars and apparently Hardly ever used. It has the original Tubes in it. The photo does not do it Justice.... It is in MINT Condition. That combined with the 3+ Preamp sounds unbelieveable! I am just about to send the 3+ off to John Suhr in California so he can mod it for me. the guy I bought the VHT from also has an old Purple 2150 for sale, in case you are interested.....

I'm fortunate enough to live a 30 minute drive away from one of the four Carvin outlet stores in the USA. It's nice to be able to try NEW Carvin gear out as opposed to having to deal with less-than-well-cared-for used stuff and sniping on ebay for one and not even knowing if you'll like it or not.

Live I play a Steve Morse and a Luke through a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 50W. I use a EB vol pedal, TS9, wah, echo and chorus. I also use a Leslie guitar cabinet when space allows. For real small gigs I will use a Fender blues jr and for bigger gigs I have a mesa boogie tremoverb.

The sound through the marshall is, to my ears, the best so far, works real well with the single coils in the morse as long as you keep the gain down.

Here's my signal chain:

EBMM JP7's

Monster Cable > Bad Horsie 1 (2 sounds like crap), Lil' Alligator Volume (needed an active volume) Monster Cable > to head

Korg DTR2 (gotta be in tune )
TC Electronics G-Force
TC Electronics M-One
Rivera TBR1-SL rackmount/stereo/60w head
2 x Mesa Recto Traditional straight-front (slants sound funny) 4x12s with V30's.

DMC Ground Control (original one)
2 x EB mono volume pedals for CC

Power: Furman PL-PRO

4spc rack drawer for all my crap.

All in a 16 space shocked-mounted ATA case from Hybrid I've had since the late 80's. It probably has about 3000 gigs on it and is still going strong.

Only thing interesting to note is the custom 7 pin MIDI cable I had Horizon make to power my controller via pins 1 and 7.

Just curious but why do you use the G-Force & M-One?

Next year's rig purchase:

Ampeg SVT-4 PRO>Mesa Boogie 2x15 RoadReady Cab.

Simple and effective set-up!

 

[jeffrey]

Just curious but why do you use the G-Force & M-One?

I primarily use the G-Force for continuous control functions. When I get a lot of CC stuff set up on a single preset/patch, it won't let me add other things I want like say, a stereo reverb or compression. It can only do so much at one time.

That, and I really like the compressor and reverb's in the M-One. I think they sound quite a bit better than the G-Force honestly.

Mesa Boogie MarkIV Short Head
Recto 2x12 Horizontal
Marshall 4x12 Vintage (2 Celestions V30 and 2 Celestions G12H-30 Anniversary)

 

[Pundix]

A single Mesa Mk III simul-class 1x12 Combo (green stripe). Had it since 1990. Other than catching fire earlier this year its never let me down. I'm so pleased with it that I dont consider buying other amplifiers.

Boogie's do have a tendency I guess to get all hot and bothered occasioinally. Sometimes way too hot.

I use a GT6 to an acoustic amp brillient tone!
