Show Off Your Rigs: Rebirth

[RAGER]

I think you're gonna fit in just fine.

The Sub Phatty is pretty amazing and everyone should have at least one cool synth.

Damn, the Jag?  That's my favorite.

BAT posts as The Riffer here.

the jag went to a good home and helped me fund a moog sub phatty. still miss it though
the sub phatty pisses my neighbors off even more, so i think it was a fair deal.
BAT makes some kick ass stuff! you can plug a mic into the pharaoh and fart, and make it sound like a cranked hiwatt!

Thanks Beta. 'preciate ya!

I haven't played guitar more than a handful of times over the past few years, but I'm getting back into the whole deal again.  Just got the SG back tonight after having it properly set up...have it tuned to B standard, but like to play in drop A for some stuff.  The bottom string is a 74...this thing is sounding heavy.

I'll post pics of my other guitars, the bass rig, and some pedal setups once I get things rolling again.  I still love this amp.

JEEZUS, just getting back into it and you are pimping a fine Laney AND WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT MATAMP 4x12 just happen to come from?    I know Oklahoma has a serious surplus of Matamp gear and all.

I bought the Matamp 4x12 on EBay from Will (Mugwart) way back in like 2007 or so, along with a Matamp GTO that was engraved 'Custom Made For Mugwart'.  I recently sold the amp back to him and kept the Laney, because it's more versatile.

I know, I feel like a jackass for having a lot of really good gear and just letting it set there.  Later on, I'll post all of my pedals, my other guitars and shit, and you should rag me for letting it all set there for so long.  I deserve it.

I'm almost there.

ron: would you walk us through this rig? what's up with the cabs on the left?

[Cursed71]

That is one of Ron's (Cursetheson) old Green cabs on the right, and we have a similar handle so I see the confusion... But I think Ron has moved on to Dunwich.  I split my signal between the matamp and two 4x12s (although now I use one 4x12) and the mysterious cab on the left which is a modified leslie 925.  120 watts. 50 to the driver, 70 to a 15".   Has a huge swirly "throw" when I rotate the driver, and a really nasty drive with fuzz pedals.  Pairs nicely with Orange/Matamp.

that leslie rig sounds like it would be awesome. cheers

sorry for the confusion! looks awesome.

Thanks man!  It does indeed sound awesome.  Our drummer owns a lot of Leslies and Hammond stuff.  He insisted I use it, so I couldn't say no!

Was the GTO quite a bit louder? Part of the reason I sold my GH50 was because it lacked headroom and past a certain point you mainly got more distortion rather than volume.

Got stuck on James's post for like a 20 minutes!

[James1214]

Aww thanks Jem, its odd. I never realized just how much gear I've accumulated over the years. I did only just get the tuck and roll rig a month ago. But I think I have 9 instruments right now. I have had as many as 12 which is batshit levels of crazy.

[Danny G]

12 cats? Crazy.

12 instruments? Respectable.

[Stonergrunge]

hey James, I see you're using the latest version of the Pharaoh, do you know if it's just a change of layout or something more in terms of sound?

[James1214]

Entirely cosmetic. And I believe I have the first one of this version, but I could be wrong. Its fucking rad, and Mark is a stand up dude as well, just the best experience buying gear ever. I will definitely be buying more BAT stuff in the future.

[Stonergrunge]

Cool, I've been considering to get one of those BAT pedals for a while (LSTR), maybe someday I will.

The only thing missing in the photo is my another amplifier, a Laney CUB 12 R.
