Pro Jules Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I plan on getting the following: Cornford 50w head Line 6 Vetta head Old Fender Vibro Champ combo Two 2 x 12 cabs (perhaps one with Celestions, the other?? I dunno, a different type any ideas? perhaps an open backed one? ) Heads go in the control room Cabs can go into 2 x seperate live areas (the Vetta is VERY stereo) I already have: Little Labs PCP distro DI & 3 way splitter Evil Twin DI box Marshall JMP1 Digitech Valve FX Marshall SE100 dummy load box / cab simulator Amp Farm What do ya think? It's gonna cost me a bundle, but I think I will be covered for every type of sound required by my guitar rock & pop studio. (I rent in an Ampeg B15 for bass when I need it) Cheers Jules Producer Julian Standen London, UK, Come hang here! http://www.gearslutz.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmix Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Hey Julian, I'm revamping my guitar rig as well. No combo's, just a few heads in the control room and several cabinets in the live room. Right now I'm thinking: Heads DR. Z Ghia or Mazeratti Orange AD-30 Mesa Dual Rectifier Cabinets Bogner 1x12 Some kind of 4x10 or 2x12 Marshall 4x12 All my pedals will also be in the control room on rack shelves with a Voodoo Labs GCX and Ground Control. Probably do the amp switching with the Axess Electronics boxes. Rob Rob Hoffman http://www.robmixmusic.com Los Angeles, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip McDonald Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Welllll...if you trust the Vetta you theoretically don't need any other amps... BUTtttttt... I'd add a Twin or Deluxe, and a 4x12 cabinet.. you could get tricky with the cab and put 2 Greenbacks in for "vintage" sounds, and a pair of Vintage 30's for "modern" sounds... The Cornford is a p-p Marshall clone thing, right? If you don't do any high gain stuff that should be fine, but it'd probably be handy to have a Rectifier around to either slave into that for more moderate "modern rock" sounds, or to use alone for the "nu-metal" thing - it'd be a lot easier. If you do a lot of metal I'd find a used ADA MP1. If you do a lot of "modern alt/college rock" I'd get a Matchless or AC30 reissue.... .... although a BF Deluxe or Twin reissue might suffice in that category. A Vibro Champ might be a bit squirelly IMO for an all around "generic Fender" amp. Or you could try a Boogie Nomad and try to take care of that category AND the Rectifier situation maybe at the same time. But definitely a good 4x12, probably a straight 1960 with V30's, in a room; for some types of mildly-over driven sounds it's the best way to make a guitar sound "big" without making it fizzed out and take up a lot of bandwidth IMO. IMO only of course...
