A Rig that works for you?

[MkIII Renegade]

Re: A Rig that works for you?

Since playing the first note on it ~18 years ago, I have been a Mark III Man. Mine has been modded to clean up R1 and adjust R2 slightly + reverb mod, although I told Mesa not to TOUCH the lead channel, which is my favorite of any amp. I picked up a MkIV combo years later for portability, but the MkIII stack is what I use when I need all 8 cylinders.

Re: A Rig that works for you?

Started with a Peavey Rage, then an Ampeg then a 160w Crate head. By early 90s I was running stereo 412s and a "rack of doom" through the decade's end. Early 2000s was a Fender Cyber amp, then a Line6 Vetta. By 2005 I was into tube combos and found a Traynor Custom Special paired nicely with my pedals.
In 2009 I played a GenzBenz Black Pearl and fell in love. Bought a combo, then a head. Bought a Mesa DC3 for a backup. Late last year I sold off the GenzBenz, the Mesa and found a Reverend Hellhound 40/60 that's all I really needs to go with my rebuilding of a pedal rig. Picked up a Legacy 212 to pair with my RedFang 112 cab (both cabs 8Ohms).

So if I really need to change my tone I just change pedals and life is good.

Do you need pics?

I have a great setup, I've gotten compliments on it in the past.

I have a 90's era Trace Elliot Booneville 100w head - Pre-Gibson, a Mesa Boogie rectifier 4x12 straight cab (V30s), Fulltone Robin Trower Overdrive pedal, and a 1998 Jackson JJ1 with a JB in the bridge and and Jazz-n in the neck.

With distortion or clean, it just sounds like butter. I have a whole assortment of amps (all Trace Elliot heads) and cabs, along with guitars and pedals, and this one is the best. I use it for any style music I want to play.

Very nice gear! I also like Mesa equipment, but then it seems I like a lot of gear? Thanks for posting!

When I do use an amp, it is always a Mesa Blue Angel (like this, but with blue leather):
