Yeah, so just post your rig, from amps you have (and what you use it for), and pedals and guitars.

Also post what type of music you play and the like....

Pictures very appreciated

Celtic Edana in Cherry enclosure. I use this for my AC/DC playin. It also has stunning cleans, so I also run the Holy Grail through the front end and make the strat howl through it. Bad monkey/tubulator is also great through the front end. Definitely a fantastic sounding amp.

This is my practice/funtime amp. It will do anything almost. Lots of great marshall tones and clean amps in it. The amp responds to your playing just like a real tube amp also.
 
Re: Post your amp rig!

Well, this isn't exactly mine, but it's the same exact amp model i use.I don't know how to upload pictures from a camera onto a computer because I'm lame like that, so i just searched for pics of my rig on google:

This site has the specs on it, and also more pictures :bigok::

I use it for everything and anything because it just kicks that much ass. (And also because i don't have another decent amp =S)

That half stack is it right there. An EL-34 Bogner Shiva w/ Reverb through a Bogner 4x12'' loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s.

Here's mine: A closeup of the towering wall of sonic doom, and a group shot with the guitar. The Tele's are mine, the purple GAX waits silently for one of the kids to develop an interest.

DIY "13 Watter" (Pseudo-clone of a Marshall 18 Watter, but with ECL86 outputs)
Fender Vibro Champ in need of a power switch and a cap job
Pedalboard w. (2) Rocktron Short Timers, Boss CE-2, BF-3, CS-3, Keeley Ultra Mod DS-1, and TU-12

The amps are just posing for the picture - I don't run them together. The Marshall is my #1, and the VC is going to be my "church" amp.

Back in 1984, my band's van was stolen along with all out gear, including my pedalboard and my totally awesome Marshall JMP 2203 2x12 combo (with a pair of EVM-12L's - that was one heavy amp). We had a couple of gigs coming up, and I borrowed a friend's Fender 75. It acquitted itself very well. That's a nice amp, very flexible (as you said), and portable, too. Me likey.


Oh, and Kyuss... you have the coolest amp on this board. That Bogner wishes it could be as cool as your amp (J/K, Chris!). Ya gotta recover the cab, dude.

I usually use a SS Hughes and Kettner Blue 30 to practice.
 
Re: Post your amp rig!

Not quite as thrilling as some of the others on here, but it gets the job done well enough anyway.
Boss GT-6 to Peavey Classic 50/50 Power amp to Bag End S12R-D and my Fender SS amp which broke and got converted for cabinet duty. I use the Marshall for practices and stuff.

Re: Post your amp rig!

My sig for our chuch band, and this for home dinking around. Just picked it up on the other side of the state for $220 on monday, no tax no shipping. Also, came with the footswitch. The grill was airbrushed red, and looks amazing.

Re: Post your amp rig!

I had one of those Traynor YCS-100 heads. Not bad, but it just wasn't me. It had some really nice features. I couldn't get the midrange where I wanted it though. Good bass and loads of distortion. Very tight and aggressive. I wasn't wild about the reverb it had and the cleans were good, but not quite as good as other Traynor amps are. Really a nice amp that has it's own voice. You liking yours so far?

The red one has been altered. In fact it was just last night that I altered it. I got a red/black Duncan JB to throw in there. I had been wanting to just throw a regular zebra JB in there, but when I saw the red one I just had to try that. I may throw one in the sunburst 300 model as well. Purely cosmetic I realize, but I like to alter my guitars enough to make them somewhat unique. I've been considering throwing a Hot Rails or some other hot stacked single at the neck. I'm also considering routing out some wood and putting a full humbucker up there as well. It would be nice to have a pair of red/black pickups on that axe and I'm not in-love with the Quarter Pounder that's up there right now.

ETA: I was going to put my new Graphtech piezzo system in the red one as well, but there's no room for it. I'd have to route out a bunch of wood for that. So tonight I think I'll be throwing it in the green Godin SD instead. Too bad cause I like the Hybrids enough that they're all I wanna play most of the time. I'm keeping my eyes open for a black one to add to the collection. And eventually, I'll get a fourth one, sand it down, and paint it white I'm thinking.

Scott...

I think that the one I have is YOUR head. Did you sell it to me on Ebay while I was on my honeymoon in Maui a month ago? If so, that was ME! lol


I LOVE it man. I wasn't wild about it at first. I prefered the Custom Blue 50 combo that you see there. But once I tweeked on it some (and especially since I've added the 4 ohm G12-30 4X12 on the right) I LOVE it now. It's so creamy. The hi-gain Mesa-type stuff was good from the start. But I couldn't get the Marshall thing going on it. That is, until I broke away from my habit of dialing in the classic "V" on the EQ. So I put the Presence on "0", and then for the individual overdrive channels (1 and 2) I use Treble on "3-4", Mids on "5" and Bass on "5-6". I also dialed in the Resonance to about "7" with two cabs plugged-in (or "3" with just one). And I'm not using the channel Gain switch for the dirt channels either. I run just a slightly crunchy sound on Channel 2 by dialing the gain to about "7" and then more of the overdriven Marshall thing on Channel 1 with the Gain on "10". And I LOVE the adjustable Solo Boost thing! That's THE selling point of this amp for me. I am tired of having to roll back my guitar volume for rythem work and then put it to "10" for leads, etc. I LOVE just being able to kick-in the pedal and I'm "loud and proud". I love this amp man. And the price I bought it from you was almost stealing man! Musician's Friend is selling them at $959 right now. You put one hour on it and I got it for $600. Thanks! :bigok:


P.S. UPS beat-up the box pretty good. But the amp looked fine, so I went with it. And about about two hours of playing time, the sound just went to a fizzle. I messed around with the knobs and couldn't find anything wrong. So I turned it off and back on and it came up fine. It fizzled out again after a while. This time I smacked the top of the head and it came back up to volume. It's been fine ever since and I've moved it around and put about 12-18 more hours of playing on it. But I'm gigging it this weekend and will likely have a spare around for a while. I think that the goons at the freight company must've knocked a solder loose or maybe it's a tube. Luckily, there's a couple of good amp techs at my local music store who can take a look when/if it finally craps-out for good.
