Show Off Your Rigs: Rebirth

[themusketking]

Nice!  Is that a 160?  I've seen one once at a music-go-round.

It's an Acoustic 250 guitar head. I need to do some research on it. I don't know shit aboot it. haha.

[grimniggzy]

I got more Beta Leads...

How'd your tele turn out, Gal?

Yeah man!

BLACK Amp GZ51





My other guitar player is probably going to buy that Orange, picking up a Hovercraft this weekend.

[Jake]

Cool rig. I'm really curious about that Hovercraft, so do drop some details when the time comes.

[moose23]

Guitar and bass rigs for Wild Rocket. Floorboard amp is a Laney LC30II, purple cab is a recovered 70s with Goodman Audioms. My amp is a Sound City 100 MK3, Peavey cab and DIY cab both with Celestion Truvox 1525s.

[baravettski]

Picked this up today, jammed it for a bit in the shop, gonna use it tonight at practice.

On the left channel there's a pushbutton selector for either independent eq or bandaxall style. Assignable reverb via a mini toggle on the footswitch. Heavy low end, sounded great in the room. I guess the KT88's aren't matching either, one is Russian and one is Chinese but he was excited about how it was sounding so he left it.

More to come later, if anyone has specific questions let me know.

[da_qtip]

Very nice. I saw that one posted on his page. I've been thinking about getting a Dwarvenaut.

[clockwork green]

Are they still built in Epiphone or whatever they were amps?

[baravettski]

Yeah, recycled chassis I think.

Played on it a bunch last night. The independent/interactive eq makes a big difference. Low end is huge, gain is a little bit clippy. Sounds similar to a Black Arts Pharoah in some cases. So far I'm pretty impressed, definitely has a more vintagey tone vibe. More as I tinker with this thing...

[Dave J]

That is a killer looking Hovercraft.  I participated in the Kickstarter project they had.  Too bad it did not fund.

(Although now I'm looking at the Dunwich Wizard and praying to win the lottery).

Post some sound clips of that Hovercraft if you can.

Is this a 100 watter? Does it have enough headroom to compete with a model t? I've been interested in these, but wanted to hear from someone who got one.

[baravettski]

It's 90/45 watt switchable. Seems to have plenty of headroom so far, never played a Model T though so I'm not sure. Played it through my Orange cab and a 4x12 with Man 'O Wars, it's got some balls for sure. I'll work on sound clips this week, can't promise great quality but I'll do my best.

[baravettski]

Alright here's what I got so far. Apologies in advance if these sound like balls. Amp on 90 watt, level pretty low, like 9-10 o'clock. Les Paul Custom with Pike Dirty Heshers.

That thing sounds wonderful...

[justinhedrick]

That thing sounds wonderful...

yep, this thing sounds very sludgey.

[dunwichamps]

ahh the old pentode/triode switch. Never did like triode mode tho, its always kind of muffled in way i didnt like.

[baravettski]

Here's one more...

I could probably figure out settings, main thing I remember is at 1:33 or so I rolled the gain back to noon. Stuff at the end is mostly messing with the contour knob.

Before I broke its neck plus a few extras I have sitting around

Gnarly walls, did you do that?

[everdrone]

That Hovercraft sounds great! Killer playing as well. 

It sounds like a BIG NUCLEAR POWERED BIG MUFF,

but without a fuzz pedal cause the fuzz pedal is built into the amp

Gnarly walls, did you do that?

Yeah I drew all that. all the walls were like that. I had planned on doing the ceiling but never got around to it. I painted over all that and now I regret it.
