AK47's "Tone Library" Monster Rack

[srommes]

That Radial JD7 is badass, but for the life of me, I cannot understand why they didn't make it so you can control the outputs with relays, midi etc., instead of having to do it manually on the front panel? That would be very inconvenient in a live situation.

[Jacksons Shred]

What the fuck!

[jgcable]

I was gonna say the word overkill.. and I would hate to transport it but since you mentioned its your home rig.. its KILLER.

[Robert Burns]

Ok...when i pray at my bedside every night...i ask..."Lord?, Can i have
AK47's gear? If not, can i have the $425,000.00 that it cost"? :-))



And to think i was actually happy with a GT-10, Gmajor, Mp-1 (only 1!)
and a VHT amp... I guess i could sell my grocery store maybe?
Your the King of Racks!
(more impressive, is that you know how to hook it all up! It would take
me 3 years..! Wait a minute... i dont see 2 Decimaters?? How on earth do
you keep it quiet?

Each rack has DBX 4 channel compressors.

Believe it or not the most expensive single thing were the rackATA case units since I had them put in the custom features I wanted like adjustable rails and plexi doors.
Everything you see was bought second hand off Ebay or Craigslist, the Bogner Fish did not cost me too much since the person who sold it to me really liked my SRV strat.

I am currently hunting for 4x12 cabs and specifically three amp heads to add to the "tone library"
1. Diezel VH4
2. Diezel VH4 Blueface
3. Mesa MkII C+, the one with all the options.

Cabs I am looking for currently:
Wizard 90s era cab
Another Diezel 4x12 cab
Mesa Recto cab standard size
Any Marshall 4x12 cabs

On the bass side I will be adding a PA power amp then I will find a pro level mixing board but that comes later...

Once again those are not 3 MP1s they are:

ADA Mq-1
MP1
MB1

How long did it take you to accumulate all of that?

[roodyrocker]

So now that we have your distortion channel figured out, where are the pix of the clean channel rack? That looks awesome and you have just about every flavor covered there, all nice and well known pre-amps. Love the custom racks too. Are those the ones you said were on display at NAMM in an earlier post? or perhaps they were at another guitar show? I seem to recall reading that some time back.
Anyway, I highly approve of this setup For live gigs, well thats what the wheels/casters are for, right?

Some of the stuff I had for years but some of the other stuff I got recently and I got some great deals because of the economy being bad.

I paid 1500 for all three of those bass power amps. The dual recto I scored for 800 a few months ago.

The Strategy, Triaxis, MP1, MQ1, MB1, JMP-1 I have had for many years...

Those rack cases are badass.

So of all them pre's, if you could keep just one what would it be?

[Jayster]

Very nice setup!

If some cataclysm happened and I lost everything.

I would grab a Mesa Strategy and a Triaxis. Bogner Fish is cool but expensive and hard to find and not as vesatile as the Triaxis but you can get some awesome tones out of the Fish. I have not owned the Fish long enough to really find out all it can do.

FYI the Roland Head is for the clean channel.

Makita drills own all...

Yes these are the first two prototypes or pre-production rack units. You can get them now as options through A&S cases. One was at NAMM this year.

Wheels and casters are for moving it around the house but I have to move this thing to get professionally wired since I suck at it and its going to be a pain in the ass.

We demand some video's of you playing thru this rig when you get it
finished! I gotta hear this island of tone!

[mrrs]

Very impressive....tones never ending.

absolutely! The essence of awesome tone, distilled through a handicam mic, compressed to hell by YouTube & projected out through my cheapo computer speakers. It'll be awesome!!!
