What are your performance rigs?

[ehdwuld]

Maybe 25lbs?

my Carvin 12 inch Powered PA speaker is 36 lbs
is the FRFR really different from a PA speaker?

Most PA speakers tend to hype bass and highs. A real FR/FR is a little more 'true'. The sound is eventually going through a PA anyway, but I want the sound onstage to sound like a regular amp, without the weight and pain of miking up an actual amp.

My rig this last Sunday at Church. PRS Custom 50 head into a Captor X my pedal board with my Carvin DC 127 and Kiesel Delos.

JBL EONs have profile and EQ management that lets you negate the issues of using a PA speaker vs a FR speaker. I use mine with the Peavey Decade or Liverpool as a portable rig sometimes. AIB with the H90 and the JBL is my grab-and-go rig.

Currently, I am using the Fractal FM3 without amp models, just effects into the TM Deluxe. I also use it with amp models into a Fender FM10 fr/fr cab. I choose which one to use by which one is closest to the front door when going to the gig.

I haven't been playing live for awhile but surprised that zionstrat your GT10 is still getting use.

You can assign the footpedal to activate tuner in full heel position while assigning the toe position to toggle between manual & preset mode by just a little back&forth movement of the pedal. Ah it brings back memories as to how useful it used to be live.

I used to use that and later on went to using a simpler rig of just an OD, Tech21 Liverpool clone & zoom g1on for time based effects. But for any elaborate songs I would get the Gt10 along cause it made life so much easier for me.

POD Go into Samson 12" powered wedge does that for me.

used the house blues deluxe last night. the parking lot was icy as hell and i didnt feel like lugging gear and falling on my ass. strat->cable-> amp. dialed in a good lead sound and used the volume on the guitar to clean it up. it was only a one hour set of classic rock type stuff, though all originals, and it worked out really well

big fan of the g12-65 with the right amp. ran my trainwreck express clone into a 1x12 with the 65 two weeks ago and it sounded awesome! that head is so damn loud though

 

[Wattage]

Usually it's my Orange Dual Terror into my 4x10 w/Ramrods x Ragin Cajuns or 2-1x12 cabs with Creamback 65 & 75

I run a small board in front of it. Depending on what band I am playing with I could have any number of pedals, nothing crazy Boost, OD, Delay Univibe and a tuner most likely

Well that's a lot of variety! Sounds like you got it thought out.

Have to admit I don't understand the church board aspect.. are you saying you your signal goes into the board and then out effects loop, through your effects and back into the board? If so how do you control that from the stage?

Both my pedal boards are set up the same way. Guitar into a wah, compressor and overdrive then into the front of the amp. All time based effects go into the loop with a send going into a booster buffer (Xotic Super Clean on one board Super Sweet on the other), then into Verb, delay and chorus and back into the amp on the return. I run the booster buffer to offset the long cable run (15 feet on one board, 20 on the other) to and from the loop and get my tone back. Running the booster buffers makes a big difference, and you don't notice the difference until you turn them off, and suddenly it's like you drop a blanket over the amp. All the cables coming to and from the amp and or board including power are bundled in a snake with a cable keeper so it's all neat and clean.

The amp channel switch and all the effects are on the pedal board, so it's all at my feet on stage. Compressor and overdrive plus at times a wah are into the front of the amp, everything else is run in the loop between the amp preamp and power amp.

Friedman Modified 2204 (Jake E Lee inspired) with a Mr Scary module into a Marshall Cab with 1981 G12-65s, then my 2012 Egnater Seminar amp I've tweaked (800 inspired, but with more girth and gain) into a Bogner 4x12 with Green backs. Worse case scenario if the gig is tiny... just use the Egnater into a 2x12 with 90 watt celestions of some sort. I much prefer to blend two amps if I can do it. No channel switching allowed lol.

 

[jeremy]

a buddy of mine went to the egnater seminar too, fun amp!
