  • Need advice on Back line set up

    Heres the low down this group i'm playing for is in talks for playing a show in texas. They people would pay for our transportation down their and other expenses and provide equipment needed. Since I doubt I will be lugging my Blackstar HT 40 combo to texas and only bringing my axe I was considering asking them to provide a rig and pedals if needed. Now since i'm asking for an amp my two choices would be either a Fender Twin Re, or a Marshall TSl 2000 50watt or 100watt with a 4x12 cab since those amps are very common and readily available and easily attainable. The marshall has both a clean and dirt channel so I wouldn't be worried about getting a good tone out of it on the fly but the Twin is where I would be lost. I don't own or use pedals but the Twin I know could do the job but what pedals would cover the basics as far as Dirt, verb, delay go for both amps? Or if you have an idea for a better rig or back line then go ahead and share. Also just FYI it's gospel church music I would be playing in a big church a med to large size venue and more then likely there will be a decent PA and mics available.

      I thought about that but I also know that a lot of places don't stock them so I still wanted to have a back up option if I can't get a Blackstar Head and cab. You can get a twin or Marshall anywhere any time for the most part.

        My choice would be the Twin, but I use a Bassman.

          What pedals do you run in your rig if any?

              church? yall play really quietly, even at a big church. so dont spend much and dont play loud! might even consider going direct and play through their PA. maybe they will ask you back since your expense was less! a decent PA should do the trick.

                  I would ask for something easy to find that covers lots of ground in the dirt department and is easy to get good sounds out of. Like an OCD.
