I have worked for a year on consolidating everything to a real flexible small rack system. It goes Furman power>Mesa Triaxis>HushSuperC>[left side 1/2 space]pro Zoom9050-[rightside 1/2 space] Digital Music System mix>Jamman>RolandSDE1000 delay>RolandSRV2000Reverb>Mesa 50/50 In the back of the Rack a Alesis nanoverb is running off the Triaxis 24/7 Speakerd as Mesa Thieles with Vintage Clestions.
All this is cabled with George L's and then a George L 'snake of cables goes to a custom pedal board I made from 3/8" Alumin. plate. On the pedal board I built a 1/4" jack patch bay from a Radio shack project box. All the pedal board cables are connected to the box always. The 'snake' from the rack system then is color coded so I just quickly insert the 8 1/4" jacks into the correct color on the patchbay and now my pedal board is connected to my rack system. On the Pedal board I have a D.Music Ground control, a VoodLab pedal power, a Digitech FS300 for the Jamman, a Roger Mayer Crossroads to a/b betweeen the Zoom and the Triaxis and 3 Ernie Ball pedals. A Master Volume, and a Delay pedal to dial in wet delay as needed for the Triaxis [via Roland SDE] and a reverb pedal [Roland SRV] These are Ernie Ball Volume pedals that allow me to bring up wet mix live...[the Steve Morse method]. I Have played a frankenstien Ibanez for years and just took delivery of my Ernie Ball Morse model 2 days ago. It is a unbelieveable machine...the clarity and the harmonics are amazing......
Basically, my rack is based around two preamps - a Marshall JMP-1 and a Rocktron Piranha - run through a TC Electronics G-Major and a Mesa 20/20 power amp... I have a Mesa Wide Body and Recto 1x12" cabs, and a custom made 1x10" that I use some times...
I also have a vintage Fender Deluxe Reverb, a Mesa/Boogie Studio .22+ and a Tech 21 Trademark 10...
Might not be for everyone but it's a beauty. 1x12 2x10 in a 45 watt config. Pentode/Triode Special treats are the reverb, tremolo, vibrato. Hand built. Big 3D sound. Clear and harmonic. A great amp to run an overdrive pedal infront of. Don
Only really getting back into the guitar playing after years of working far too hard! Haven't even been in a band for 9 years Time to grow old disgracefully!
Amp:
Marshall AVT150. Got this last year and love it to death. A bargain at £350!!!
Electrics:
1989 Ibanez Jem 777VBK- wanted to be Steve Vai many eons ago!
1986 Washburn KC40V- my first electric and still go it. Never play it, just a bit of posterity.
Acoustic:
1987 Hohner Arbor LW400N- my very first guitar. Very cheap (£70) and I still like playing it.
Effects: None! Except the Chorus/Delay/Reverb option on the AVT- lovely
To come: A Luke. To replace the Jem. Saving very hard and almost there
It's the Maker's Mark of amps: not the fanciest or most complex of amps on the market, but it can be smooth, it can be harsh, and after a few swigs, it kicks your ass hard.
Hey guys, I am new here, and play Ernie Ball guitars exclusively. To answer this post, I play a Matchless Clubman 35 thru a Mesa Boogie 2/12 vertical Recto cab. Wierd combo, but it sounds.
Hey Dogman67! Welcome EB/MM guitars exclusively, huh? You should kick up another thread and tell us what your current axes are (inquiring minds wants to know )
