I wanna write this up more for myself and to get my thoughts percolating on a few more acquisitions and some sales, but also it might be interesting for others, I dunno. It might just be narccistic twattery as well. But I'm fine with that.

So there's some stuff here that I'm just not using. Mostly pedals to be honest, that the Helix and Axe III do just as well. I'm thinking utility stuff like EQ-200, LS-2, the flanger, etc.... I may as well get rid of those.

I'm not really vibing with the Eventide H90, so thinking of shifting that too.

Ultimately what I'm thinking about is another amp.... but no real need for one... I just WANT one....

 

[Orvillain]

Amps I fancy:

Revv Amplification 100R
Friedman BE-100 DLX

If you could pick one amp from your collection to give me, which one would it be and when will it be here?

You can have the Powerstage 200. I don't like it. It'll be there last Wednesday.

 

[SillyOctpuss]

That's a fantastic collection but I'm kinda surprised by the strat. Does it get much use?

Yeah a fair bit, but mostly noodling right now to be honest. Not written anything solid with it yet. I grab that when I want more of a Frusciante kinda vibe.

 

[SillyOctpuss]

I'm pretty similar with mine. When recording or gigging I tend to go with a les Paul or tele and just use the strat at home when I'm getting my occasional dad blues out of my system.

 

[la szum]

I didn't see "Giant Schlong" on the list??

 

[Stone]

Wow that's like a small gear store right there lol awesome !!!

 

[Orvillain]

So I think I don't need the following:

- Eventide H90 (not bonding with it as much as I hoped)
- Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 (don't like it)
- Xvive Echoman (small little delay thing, but don't need it)
- Source Audio C4 (currently on loan to a mate who might buy it)
- Boss FV30 (prefer the Lehle)
- Gamechanger Audio+Third Man Plasma Coil (it's cool, but bought on a whim and haven't used it for anything)
- MXR Dyna Comp (it's a compressor... Helix and Axe do it)
- MXR Tremolo (great pedal.. but again.. Helix and Axe do it)
- Boss LS-2 (a good utility pedal but don't need it)
- Boss EQ-200 (Helix and Axe do it)
- Boss BF2 (I'm very fond of it, but Helix and Axe do it)
- Boss PS-6 (don't like it, and Helix and Axe do it... sensing a theme here)
- Marshall Mode Four (I really don't need 3 4x12's !!)


So those are what I'm thinking of selling... to fund either an FM9... or an amp....

Send over the Mode 4 and Powerstage

After playing your D-Mol cap I’ve been watching way too many demos of that amp. How does it stack up against the other Diezels you have?

Honestly I think it might be my favourite. The VH4 and Hagen are killer, obviously. But the D-Moll is special to me.

 

[Orvillain]

Source Audio C4 has gone to a friend. The de-cluttering begins!

 

[Orvillain]

So recently I sold the Fryette/VHT Sig:X. I think I'd just outgrown the amp, and noticed I hadn't really used it very much for a while. My VH4 and JVM are getting the most action.

I'm gassing for a Dual Recto, so may pick one up soon.

I'm also looking to overhaul my pedalboard options, and I've put a pre-order down on a GigRig G3. My reason being, it's good for pedalboard control stuff, offers me a bit more flexibilty than the Helix does in terms of snapshots, and I can most likely use it to control my Axe FX III as well.

I'm probably not going to shift the Mode Four cab. Instead at some point I'll sell the K100's in it and try to get a quad of V30's for it - found my speaker brand basically!

Hmm might have to rethink just using my strat when I'm in the mood for dad blues. I'm loving the sounds Rabea's using in this video

Yeah that was pretty dope.

 

[Orvillain]

So I added the Dual Recto to the setup, and I've put down 50% deposit for my GigRig G3. Defo heading back to a singles board at this point, just too many pedals that I miss. BigSky and Timeline required first.

 

[Orvillain]

I got rid of quite a few pedals recently, with more to go as well. I'm currently regretting the G3 purchase

Not because it is bad, it really isn't. In fact it is the best switching unit available, very easy to use and very capable. But I need to spend at least another £1000 to get what I wanted, and ultimately??? Axe FX 3 does it all already. Should've just bought an FC12.
