Finally got my gear pretty much set up. Might be an EQ pedal short of complete, but so far it sounds killer and I love it. Figured I'd toss my rig into the fray here.

My stock PRS Tremonti and Gibson 60's Tribute SG (with a Joe Barden mini humbucker)

Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister 18 head through a Bugera 2x12. Replaced the stock Turbosound speakers with a Celestion Creamback (right) and an Eminence Swamp Thang (left). 16 ohm.

Behind the amp, Noise Gate, Sonic Maximizer and very mild room Reverb. Looks sloppy, but I'll get it together eventually.

Lovely tidy board, nice to see some humble stuff online for oncedezb1 wrote:Today I have been running both my amps from this board:
Effect out of the dd3 into my VC15 - direct out of the dd3 into the breath delay into my ZT lunchbox = Epic.
Just need to find a space for my inbound RV6.
Have been busy tarting up the Silvertone of late; picked up a used B3 for cheapz, so thought I'd give the Bigsby thing another go, inspired by this lovely modded original.
I tried fitting it last week, but a slightly off-centre installation and those fucking string pins had me yanking it off (ffnarrrr) within 5 minutes. Gonna be doing this mod to make the setup more bearable, plus have put in some rollersaddles to make things as smooooooth as possible. I'm hoping a bit of attention lubricating and fanning the nut will reduce any issues that the sideways string headstock angle would introduce. Just need to be a bit more patient this time around.



Also chucked some plastic button Gotohs on it for good measure- the improved quality and bigger buttons make the thing feel WAY more sturdy, possibly also down to the shorter posts that provide a little more behind-nut break angle.
Cheers. Makes all the guitar noises I need and love... no need for boutique prices. I think we can all get a bit carried away with the minutiae of sound cause we mostly listen to them in isolation but when it's in a mix it's a different ball game.Fran wrote:Totally agree with Doogs sentiments earlier in the thread about your board dez.
I like to see the 'bread and butter' pedals and brands that aren't necessarily hip. Some of the greatest guitar music was recorded with similar set-ups.

I saw a Siouxsie & the Banshees tribute band last year, the guitarists board was pure Behringer and he had McGeochs sound nailed down. He used a Squire Tele as well.
I think we all get bogged down with vintage and boutique at some point. In most cases it isn't needed or justified. But it's fun, I will admit to that.
Aye fun indeed, I've bought and sold more gear than I can remember (and will probably keep on doing it), but in reality with this board I can get all the tones I need live and between this and amp farm on my PC I can get more than I need for recording... probably won't stop me eying up the next bit of "essential" kit though... I'm on a synth tip just now so the board'll be like this for the foreseeable.Fran wrote:Absolutely.dezb1 wrote:Cheers. Makes all the guitar noises I need and love... no need for boutique prices.

I posted a while back with my old rig. Figured I'd update it some.

Gibson 60's Tribute SG. Sperzel locking tuners, neck pickup removed (never use it) and a Joe Barden mini humbucker in the bridge.

80' Aria Integra bass. Totally stock. Totally awesome.

Egnater Rebel 20 into a Bugera cab loaded with a pair of Celestion Creambacks. Crate BX-80 bass amp.
[
Dunlop Crybaby, TC Electronic Polytune 2, Boss Blues Driver, pair of AMT C2 distortion boxes (emulates a Cornford distortion channel. One set to medium gain, the other cranked), Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Big Muff, Line 6 M9, BBE Sonic Maximizer, Behringer DR600 reverb and a DeLorean. All powered by the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 (which sadly lacks to 1.21 gigawatts I was looking for). I went a little label crazy.. Don't judge me. Ha

Currently giving this a whirl. Ever since my attenuator died, I've been using the xotic SL drive pretty much exclusively for drive sounds. Very responsive to dynamics in your playing or guitar controls. It's a shame to be using my JTM 45 as a clean amp but it'll do for now.
