Stephen Carpenter Rig Rundown

Did he used to play a Rivera of some kind at one point? I kinda remember that for some reason. Maybe I made it up in my head.

Update to previous post. Was going to lose the heavy 4x12, but today I bought a used DV Mark C412 (600w! neodymium speakers). It weighs the same as one of my 2x12's and is very compact. Feels like a balsa wood unloaded cab - eerie. Sounded very good at home today, but practice at volume on Tuesday will be the true test.

Not a fan of Deftones at all, but I really connected with Steph's modelling/amp journey. One of the best rig rundowns I have seen. After trying modelling for a long time, I went back to a JVM410 combo (sounded amazing, but got rid of it as it was too heavy) and recently bought a Revv Generator 120. Last night I took it to band practice for the first time (with a 4x12). Sounded incredible. (I was using the GT1000 for post effects and channel changing). It will be really hard to go back to the Kemper Power rack. As Steph said, there is something about the bottom end and I love the way a tube amp and cab moves air. Seriously thinking of running with just a volume/wah & tuner in front with the onboard reverb & noise gate (our music is punk). Modellers win for convenience, stereo & recording, but the organic and authoritive tone of a good, cranked tube amp can't be faked. BTW, I'll give the 4x12 a miss (too directional & heavy) and stick with stacked open back 2x12s.

what blows my whole entire mind is koy no yokan is 100% fractal
