Marshall 1959RR Live

[roodyrocker]

About a month ago I posted that I wanted to use my Marshall Randy Rhoads amp live. Well, last Friday night I did that successfully! I already posted this pic in the USA Charvel section but here it is again along with my recently Mike Learn graphic'd Charvel Pro Mod
The combo performed admirably with no noise, hum, or anything and no noise gates were used! I could get controlled feedback by turning towards the amp. Its a non-master volume amp so a THD Hot Plate was used to attenuate it and not blow everyone out of the room I used Zaolla guitar cables and George L's cables to wire the pedal board and loopers as well as Evidence Audio Siren cables for the speaker cab and attenuator. Everything was plugged into a Furman Power Factor Pro for clean power. The main pedal used upfront was a Fulltone OCD and sometimes a Retro-Sonic 808. Occassionally I used the Retro-Sonic Analog Delay and Chorus pedals as well as Dr. Scientist Radical Reverberator depending on the song. This setup Rocks! I do want to try an Alex's Attenuator instead of the THD Hot Plate next.

Cool report. What was the setlist? Originals or covers? What songs?

I think my bass player kind of gives it away, 80's hard rock hair bands of course We did Ozzy, Ratt, White Lion, Whitesnake, Tesla, Motley Crue, Steel Heart, Fastway, Journey, AC/DC, Cinderella, Bullet Boys, etc...
Songs like Crazy Train, Round and Round, Slide It In, Girls Girls Girls, Home Sweet Home, Stone In Love, Modern Day Cowboy, I'll Never Let You Go, Say What You Will, Wait, Turn Up The Radio, You Shook Me All Night Long, Somebody Save Me, Smooth Up In Ya, and many more. All covers from the good ol' days

Ah - you can never tell from the bass player. That's why they're bass players!

sounds like an awesome sounding rig. I think we should start a "feed your bass player" fund. That dude is SKINNY....

I recently bought a Zoom H4N. Once I read up on it and figure out how to use it I'll try to get some live clips

Looks awesome.

Can someone else really sing "I'll Never Let You Go" ?

Yep, our singer can do it. In fact he occassionally shows up at local karaoke nights and sings that one leaving people amazed and walks away

Very impressive, that song takes some friggin' pipes.

He's a righty who plays lefty sort of, go figure. He loves 80's hair band stuff as do the rest of us so it works out well. We have more gigs coming up in Jan and Feb
