What Amp Are You Playing Today?

Still this;

It does just about everything you can imagine because you can use the Axe for amp models too if the Soldano doesn’t have a particular sound you want.
 
Engl Artist Edition 50 and Bad Cat Black Cat in stereo (Radial AB/Y in front, Volante into the Loops). Clean and Crunch heaven, imho. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover how much I like the Tremolo on the Black Cat in combination with the AE50. Subtle but sweet.
 
I’m going to see Meshuggah/Cannibal Corpse/Carcass tonight. Since I’ve mentioned I’m on a Slash/AFD kick I’ve got a LP tuned to Eb (D#)… Running straight into the JCM 800 for that tone with the LP and Slash pickups.

Well… Hammer Smashed Face is in D# and I had a Maxon ST9 Pro. Hmmm 🤔 … May as well make use of it in honor of the show tonight haha… :stirthepot

God damn what a versatile amp the 2203 is! (Duh!)… Without touching my current amp setting, just stuck the ST9+ in front and tweaked some knobs on it - boom, Hammer Smashed Face! 👊💥 :headbang:rawk

Lol…if id by some strange leap of faith would end up in that crowd…I’d be charging for the nearest emergency exit ;)
You’d probably fall a sleep with the players I use as reference for amps…or throw bubblegum wraps at the drummer out of boredom ;)



For the record, no good or bad, just the observation that peeps talking gear do so from very different perspectives.
 
Ever think about getting a big floor rack to get it all in one space?
I’m not gigging but it needs new cases. I will probably put line conditioners in the back and add a matrix gt1000 to the axe case (4U) and the X88 and VHT in one separate (also 4U) This could then easily be an axe rig "FRFR" , an X88 rig with axe for fx only or a WDW using the axe "FRFR" as the wet.
I could also use it with my VH4 . I need to build an analog front end only board ,I have the pedals I want already . I would then need a mixer to make the axe kill dry. Fun fun fun.
