Pete's budget Rack

[Twisteramps]

I forgot how good an MP1 sounds with a BBE. Next up might be some sort of budget one rack space fx unit... we'll see. I had a spattering of rack gear, started putting it together, thought it might be fun to assemble it.

i like them mosvalves, looks rock.

[Boxcar Willie 84]

a MosValve power amp, just like Jerry Cantrell!

[Twisteramps]

Believe it or not, the mosvalve sounds good and you can find them under $200. And most importantly, they are LIGHT! I had a Peavey 120/120 that was a freakin' boat anchor!

JGCable was cool enough to send me a rack that had a few minor dents in it - I may build a 6V6 low wattage tube power amp for it. I don't know of any commerically available ones, all the low wattage ones are EL84s and are 20 watts. I'm thinking more like 6 or 12.

My late friend Clyde's rack mostly consisted of a Korg rack tuner, a Digitech GSP2101, and a Mosvalve 962 into a Peavey 412 run stereo. It sounded pretty fine and he always got compliments. He had 3 or 4 of those Mosvalves, and loved them.

GSP2101 is a solid peice of equipment. I sent mine in for repair after using it for 7 years. Too bad they couldnt fit it in a single rack space.

MP1s rule!

Aaah, MosValve! Good choice my friend. Aren't they great?

[Monster Joe]

Cool rack system. No clutter, only tone!

Nice Pete. My rack is super budget. 4 space unit with a 2120 and Peavey 50/50 amp. Don't use it much, but it's there....

sweet! i sold my Mosvalve...maybe im crazy but it wasnt loud enough to play with a drummer...at least the drummer i was playing with. i had to have my 5150 on 3 to hang with him (16 years old and beat the holy hell out of the drums all the time! amazing for 16 though...)

got a Peavey Classic 120 in Nashville waiting on me though, that should be fun to play aorund with!

Kenny Hickey style.

If I had a Rack setup, that would be a fine one bro All good stuff there and affordable. Jack.

Used an MP-1 with a BBE for years until I ran across an old Green faced Furman PQ-3 and used it with the MP-1. Best combo I've ever heard!
I'm going to have to check out one of those Mosvalve power amps, they're about a dime a dozen around here.
