My new rig is coming together, everything is now centrally controlled with Midi, switchers and loopers.
Cornford Mk50H, GT Trio, Korg DL8000R, GLab Switchers and controllers and some pedals.
Obviously I use a guitar with BKPs (RiffRaff bridge, though the neck is a Duncan '59).
00:00-02:50 Explanation of the rig
02:50-04:44 Groove Tubes Trio Clean
04:44-06:42 Groove Tubes Trio Crunch
06:42-07:59 Mk50H Crunch
08:38-11:48 Groove Tubes Trio Lead
11:48-13:08 Mk50H Lead
In between comparisons of the two crunch and the two lead channels
I am happy with the tones I am getting. This clip is quite low volume, I feel the difference between the two pres becomed actually more pronounced if the amp is turned up higher. Best rig I ever had IMO. :)

Well basically like any looper based setup, but instead of just having pedals in loops, I also have preamps in loops.
So the looper in the rack, 2 loops are used to switch the preamps. Loop 1 goes Send to the GT Trio In, Out GT Trio to Loop Return, Loop 2 Send goes to Cornford In, Cornford Send to Loop Return, and the output of the Looper finally goes to the Cornford FX Return, so to the poweramp. All is switched via midi.

Glad you guys like it, I am chuffed with all the possibilities I got at my feet now. Only problem is that at the moment, I have no band LOL

You certainly got all the toys dude. Awesome sound

Complicated rig sounds good :wink:
Your playing is awesome and that Cornford sounds amazing, I am pretty sure you just cost me a whole heap of money

Yeah that Mk50 is amazing. Best 800GBP I ever spent in my life, thanks fleabay. I already sold the Steavens and the Marshall 2554, and I am ready to sell the Bogner 100B too. This rig might look complicated, but it's real easy to use once it's set up, and it wasn't too expensive, if you compare it to some highend amps. I got most stuff used for cheap.

Great vid! I have to do something like that myself.
-
Hey H I've watched your vid a few times now and I think I'm going to look at doing someting similar. I took my MK50H (by the way...MK stands for Martin Kidd! :wink: :wink:) into my workplace earlier today so I could try it with the cab I refurbed, and the combination of G65's and G12H Anni's are awesome. I was only supposed to be there 30mins or so but I couldn't stop playing and ended up being in there for 2.5 hours! I'm in the dog house now but man it was worth it, never played it with the master vol at 6 before and holy cow it was fantastic.

what I like most about this rig is that the signal path is pure, but you have all kinds of tonal possibilities.
oh, and it sounds great too.

You got it. I hate when pedals and cables screw with your tone. Those GLab loopers do a good job in getting you close to guitar => cable => amp and they are very flexible, and reasonably easy to use.

Like everyone said very nice. The Glab switcher looks very intresting!
