another new live rig....

[markD]

my band has a gig on Saturday at a festival. this is going to be my rig. I have spent the last month tweaking it rehearsals and so far it is KILLING it. here's a pic:



the rack is loaded with:

Furman power conditioner
Sabine tuner
Digitech S100
GCX switcher
Egnater tweaker 40

in the GCX loops:

1. MXR phase 90
2. MXR classic distortion
3. BOSS hyper-fuzz
4. Egnater channel switching
5. BOSS ’63 fender reverb
6. MXR smart gate
7. S100
8. MXR carbon copy

loops 1-5 hit the front of the amp, while 6-8 are in the amps loop. I am able to get every tone my band needs, all programmed!! It is really cool.

I control the GCX with a v.2 Ground Control. I was planning on upgrading to a GC pro, but so far I haven’t needed to. I have the GC set up in a 25x4 configuration, where I have 25 banks of 4 pre-sets and instant access to loops 1-6.

I have the GC on a LYT32 board. The LYT also has a tc polytune, MXR dyna comp, EHX big muff and a VOX wah.

The cab is just a standard Marshall 1936, nothing special but it cuts very well.

In all, this rig has given me more options while giving the singer more frequency range. I am pretty psyched to give it a run on Saturday!!!!

sweet. I'd love that. Although it would never fit in the car

You used to run a Studio Quad, didn't you? Did the S100 replace it? What are you using it for?

[markD]

I put the Quad in my studio. It serves better there. The S100 kinda sucks in comparison, but I only use it for chorus on 1 song and flanger for another. If I weren't saving for my summer road trip, I'd probably buy Ward's G-Major to replace it. I will eventually put the S100 back in the studio and replace it with a G-Major. Later on though.

And you're right....it does NOT fit in the car - except for the front seat I could get a half stack in the trunk of either of my cars, this thing....I already HATE transporting it, haha.

When and where are you playing? I'll be in Venice this weekend.

[Axegrinder87]

Nice looking rig. The Tweaker series are great amps. So many great tones in that little head.

[FloydRose4Prez]

Any of you guys live in SoCal and play gigs? I want my face melted with hot riffage. That sounds gay but you get my point.

[markD]

outlawten - it is kinda hokey, but we are playing the hernando county corn festival. we are laughing about it considering out last gig was with Kamelot, but it'll be fun - and that's what it is about. the festival is in Brooksville. we play 11:30 - 12:30 (during the peak BBQ eatin' time ). I've gotta head out the door for work, but i'll post the horrific flyer a little bit later.

sorry Floyd - we are in FL not CA. pretty damn far, even to get your "face melted with hot riffage"!!!

[outlawten5]

Nice rig! Would not want to haul that thing, though.

There is nothing better than a Cornhole tournament... especially if you are the cornholer and not the cornholee.

[Hellbat]

LOL! Cornhole Tournament! If BillZ reads this, he will be busting out the Cobra and driving there to triumph!

[markD]

Haha, yeah...it's a doofy gig for sure. I am already teasing lana about getting cornholed- especially since her name spelled backward is anal!!!
