How many guys use similar gear in your small setups

This is an effort to reverse bump the trolls threads, while adding some actual thought provoking ideas, as the Forum used to.

 

[EDIT:] To Clarify: For the guys who have large and small setups, do you find that you use similar devices in both setups or do you go in a completely different direction with the smaller setup?

In my main band, I use the same setup (dual amp w/ Nomad 45 head and Vox AD60 head, plus an Oberheim GM-400 processor through both heads and some pedals mainly through the Mesa) whether we are play a 100 capacity club of an outdoor show for 1000 people of more. I also have a scaled-down band with guitar, bass, and programmed drums. For that I use my AD60VTX combo and most of the pedals from my full band setup. The PA is a LOT smaller for this act.

What is a small setup?

I started my current band with a BOSS GT3 into Marshall JTM60.
As we grew it changed into a rack with a Rocktron voodoo valve into a Pearce G1 for a power amp. Paired with a silverface bassman head modded with an effects loop also used as a power amp. marshall a 1960 and bassman 100 cabs.

The JTM just could not cut it.

My Big setup is:

 

a 4 amp, (3 Way Switching System) Middle DRY, L/R Wet system which is fully switch-able in real time as well as through pre-programmed presets.

 

I can select any of 4 amps (1 at a time), through (1) 4x12 cabinet), what channel it's on, and other switch-able functions like Gain Boost, Mid-Range Boost, etc...

 

Amps are:

 

Fender Super Reverb 1965 Blackface

 

Fuchs ODS 50

 

Fuchs ODS 100

 

Marshall 30th Anniversary 6100LE w/ EL34

What do you want me to take out?

It doesn't take very long to set up.



I wouldn't suggest removing anything. The thread was really directed at guys who had a couple of setups. Sounds like you have a great system there. VERY similar to the I had used for many years. Worked flawlessly for me too. :thu:

Thought that was a Fuchs? Hey, tell ya what... You don't come into my threads and I'll stay out of yours.

I don't believe you play at all, but while surfing porn sites.

No reason I see that you should get grilled for this. That is what I was interested in. Sometimes I'll take the Super Reverb and use An MXR Dyna Comp, TU2 Tuner, Boss DD2 Delay and a overdrive, just depends. Sometimes less sometimes more. Here in Hawaii, If I am doing a Jazz gig or a Blues gig, the setup is very different than if I am doing a Rock gig. A Few weeks ago I played using a Line 6 2x12, sounded fine.

:p



you've posted it elsewhere, and I don't believe that you started that thread either so there. :p;)

[EDIT:]

I think it's ridiculous that guys take issue, in a gear forum, with guys talking about their gear to each other. Ehh go figure.

Have you noticed that the guys that usually make a issue of it are the guys who have less gear than they'd like though? I have.

Isn't that what this forum is about? :D

Did you know that if I hooked all the gear in my basement at the moment together and struck a Eb5 with gain on 10, I would blow out every window in the house?

True story!

Thank you, I figured someone had to get it, if I did.
