Post by: gwEm on January 10, 2010, 08:41:48 PM: I have a 1976 Mashall JMP50 Master Volume that I modded to JCM800 master volume specs with two Mesa Boogie Theile cabs for recording

For pissing about I use a Marshall Lead 12 practise combo I've lightly modded.

Live I take a SansAmp British character pedal.

Post by: _tom_ on January 10, 2010, 09:32:03 PM: This is the nicest pic I have of my amp/cab. Laney GH50L, Tube-Town British 2x12 with G12H30s in it :) Had the amp just over 3 years now and still loving it. Theres been times where I considered changing it but so glad I didn't as it always delivers!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/tomr61/strat.jpg)

Don't have that guitar any more though.

The preamp valves desperately need changing in the amp as they're still the original TADs, got any suggestions? Was gonna get Ei Elites but cant seem to find em anywhere in the uk any more.

Ei are cool (I have some NOS of theirs) but can be fizzy and toppy. They have high output though and are quite reliable.

Unless you wanna spend a bit in experimenting around a lot, I would go with the safe bet and get what is in there now.

(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Browsif/Guitars/AmpWall.jpg)

I no longer have the Marshall practice amp as I donated it to someone that was starting out playing and didn't have an amp, and I've added a Roland Micro Cube RX for my own home messing about :D

My rack (Marshall Pre and Power amp, TC Electronics G-Major and Samon Power Conditioner) isn't in the pic but as I'm now sellign it all, I didn't see much point getting new pics with it shown :lol:

Live I take a SansAmp British character pedal.

How is that working out for you? Are they convincing enough? Better/worse than GT2? I'm using multi fx modellers at the moment but might go the analog stomp modeller way. I'm getting a Tech 21 Power Engine 60 soon too.

It works out well. I think it sounds more convincing than the GT2, but obviously you can only get a Marshall tone out of the character. Sansamps always sound a bit Sansamp-y, but I happen to like this.

The outboard Reverb is not usually needed , but there just in case. I also have an I.S.P Decimator if required. It is usually just the pictured guitar, amp - and yellow duster . :)

Post by: Simon D on January 12, 2010, 07:44:21 PM: Here's mine - Mesa Boogie Express 5:50 head with Mesa 2x12 Roadster cab. Effects are pretty minimal - just an Xotic BB Preamp, Ducan TwinTube Mayhem distortion and a Dunlop Zakk Wylde wah.

Post by: Dmoney on January 13, 2010, 12:59:45 PM: how is that N.O.S cab?

They have some cab i'd like to try that has a partition so its like having two 2x12 cabs stuck together into one 4x12.

Title: Re: What Rig/ Amp are you using?
Post by: fr33man1 on January 13, 2010, 05:37:59 PM: the nos cab is warm, wide and very full sounding. Its also sounding pretty same wherever you step around your stack not like cheap cabs that sound awesome in front of them and just weak when you go some footsteps ahead. Also it works good with V30 but you can have it loaded with g12k, greenbacks, g12h, v30 or eminence tonker /governor.

They are inded built like accoustics with a separation inside. For info the cab on the picture is an oversized 2*12. Good stuff, solid built, good price used and ok price looking on high end brands (a nos 4*12 is around 1000 euros new against the same for mesa that is about 1200). I had a mesa 2*12 and a framus on the same head before the nos cab. The nos wins hand down, better projection, more open sounding, holds lows same as mesa but delivers good sounds on low volumes and the cleans are really good unless the mesa cab that made cleans sound really boomy and cold to my tastes.
