What do you use for practice/home playing?

Re: What do you use for practice/home playing?

If I need to be quiet, I use my Tech 21 trademark 60 or my Vox Valvetronix. For ultra low volume playing, I haven't played any tube amps (even 1-5 watters) that sound better than the Trademark 60. Killer amp. If I can make a bit more noise, I mostly play one of my 15-25 watt amps into an isolation cab (Two Rock Ruby, Boogie DC-2, Matchless Lightning, Budda Superdrive 18, DR Z Carmen Ghia, and a few others.) In between, sometimes I'll use the latter rig with a weber mass.

Re: What do you use for practice/home playing?

I'm not playing gigs anymore either (at least for now), so when I'm playing at home my basement is set up as a "jam" room and I run my Line 6 flexII plus and a marshal 15 watt dsl 201 in stereo. gives me a great powerful sound at very low volume and as you turn them both up it sounds even better! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] When I am playing upstairs in the office I always play clean thru a little crate GlX15. The distortion sounds like sh*t but clean it sounds really nice, built in effects as well if I want to goof around.

I dont play gigs right now either. If I am lazy, Line 6 Vetta combo or Vox Brian May Spaecial(sounds really good through a 4X12!). Otherwise, Engle Savage 120 through a Marshall 1960AV or a Trace Modded JCM800 50 watt head through a Marshall 1960BV.

Re: What do you use for practice/home playing?

I believe in practicing what you use ..

my main amp's tone inspires me to play ...therefore I play thru it all the time ..

and that's a Ubershall half stack or a Marshall rig with four 1960b cabs..

I practice with that set up all times during the night ...because I can get it down low enough to whisper over or blow a roof off any arena!!

so thes are my practice amps..

Can't wait to see pics of THAT!!! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

As for myself, Shannon Soloist ---> Morley Bad Horsie 2 Contour Wah ---> Boss GT-6 processor ---> Marshall G50RCD combo amp. I've never tried cranking it, but I don't think I'm ever going to get as loud as that since guitar is still just a hobby for me.

And then there's the super-simple setup of just me and my acoustic guitar... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: What do you use for practice/home playing?

I use the crappy Fender Champ 30 solid state combo plus my Zoom Hyper Lead. The pedal is pretty smooth.
I wish my neighbours were bastards. This way, I'd play LOUD!

Korg AX1500G into the clean channel of my Laney TF300. Works fine for low volume horsing around.

Re: What do you use for practice/home playing?

depends on the mood; either my main rig or my pod 2 thru computer and hifi amp. main rig is mesa quad + 50/50 thru 1*12 cab (should get myself another cab, that is for sure)

Re: What do you use for practice/home playing?

I'm not gigging right now either, so I thought I would sell my Single Recto head and 1x12 cab then use my Marshall Artist 4203 30 watt combo. Wrong! I tried using the Marshall for a while but after about a month, I fired up the Boogie and within 10 seconds I decided the Marshall is gone -lol. So I use the Boogie with a couple effects in front and a Korg AX1500G in the effects loop. If it's late at night, I can plug headphones into the Korg and keep rocking! An acoustic guitar is my other home practice option.

Re: What do you use for practice/home playing?

Depends what room I'm in or who else is over and playing...

I have 4 amp "setups" (Don't ask...)

1) Modified Univox U65G with Heavy Metal pedal

2) Fender Eighty-Five with BBE462 and Ibanez DM1000 delay

3) Marshall JCM2000 DSL201 with Heavy Metal pedal or Tube Screamer.

4) DigiTech RP300 through computer or PA amp.

Re: What do you use for practice/home playing?

I use a late 80s Crate G-60GT with the 1X12 cab. Xtreme processor pedal and Digitech Genisis 1. Here is a pic.

Re: What do you use for practice/home playing?

I use my boogie F50 (YES its damn loud-**** the neighbors!), a couple basic effects (chorus, wah and dist pedal) and I will play my SG standard most of the time THANKS SCOTT!! I still love it! Or my 2004 american deluxe strat. Those are currently my main axes.
