jcoote

feylya

Or this...

jcoote

looks sexy ...how much of a hole would that put in my pocket..any dea??

feylya

€3200 or so.

jcoote

**** i'd get an engl and a car for that

feylya

Yup. Expensive wee thing it is. But it has blue leds

jcoote

**** man i'd nearly pay that just for the blue leds ha ... 180watt power amp aswell thats a dinger

feylya

Midi controlled channels too. Stick a G-Major in the FX loop (serial or parellel or both!), add a Behringer FCB1010...Oh, happy tone.

jcoote

well done i would have to say i just creamed myself... never used rack stuff much u any experience... what are the pros/cons???

feylya

Unfortunately I've no experience with rack equipment...yet. There's just something about being able to change your preamp, fx processor and power settings with one button that appeals greatly to me. A Triaxis, G-Major and a Stragegy 500 into a Mesa 2x12 with a FCB1010 or better controller is about the best rack rig I could want. Nice and simplistic but fairly versitile. Of course, I'd need a Roland JC120 too for my clean tones

fitz

Vox are bringing out a new AC30CC head with master volume, effects loop and reverb. Looks to be a cracker...

$849 on Musicians Friend:

But they don't ship internationally.
You could try and source it over here but I'm not sure they're available yet.
Worth waiting though, they look fairly sweet.

jcoote

rocktron xpression for the multi effect i think i'd go for that

feylya

Aye, the Rocktron is supposed to be good but I've heard really good things about the G-Major. Could get the Boss GT Pro either. Only twice the price...

jcoote

feck it get em both ..i'm seriously considerin gettin rid of the gt-6 and buyin a rocktron..but all that'll do is give me the taste of rack stuuf and before i know it i'll haave a tone of ****..i'd sellmy soul for a rack delay unit tho

feylya

Hmm, flog the GT-6, get a G-Major (€400) and a FCB1010(€150), you've got yourself an almost rack. Use the amp channel switcher on the FCB, it could get interesting...

jcoote

ya neverknow could be worth a look does the g major have a pich shifter on it yeah.. can't do without my whammy effect

feylya

Why yes, yes it does.

http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/thoiw6_tc_electronic_gmajor_prodinfo.html

What about flogging the GT-6 and getting a preamp that'll do your distortion too? Flog your amp and head off to ebay to secure a nice poweramp and a 2x12 cab or get a cab from Avatar?

jcoote

stop will ya i'm gettin itchy...just use the powerballs distortion????

feylya

Are you getting the Powerball? If you were, just put the G-major in the FX loop of it and sort out your amp switching with your MIDI controller.

Of course, I will have to come and give the whole set up my eh... stamp of approval.. :P

jcoote

i'm gettin a loan soon so i might just get the powerball if i can shift the mg... and i think one way or another i'm gonna go rack..jesus that'd be sweet.. if i get it your more than welcome to give it a blast

feylya

Gah, damn you people and your money and loans. I'll win the lotto soon enough. Then you'll all see. ALL OF YOU!!!

*falls over*

jcoote

its a loan that i was plannin to bring me moth away for her birthday for.. feck it i'll get her a new fone... ah its a good life

feylya

Gear > giving. You know it's true. Don't think I'd bother with a 4x12. I was moving my 2x12 combo and I've bolloxed my left shoulder. Maybe I should go see the fit physio in the hospital

jcoote

i fecked upme ankle but i know my pyhsio would be a big sweaty basteard so i'm bearin with it ha... i have a 4x12 already and its on wheels so its no bother...course u can't wheel it up and down stairs

feylya

Aye. Personally, I don't see the point in a 4x12" in this country. Just raise a 2x12 off the floor and you're set for hearing yourself on stage and most venues will have a PA so will mic your amps.

jcoote

yeah your not wrong i just went a bit mad u know yourself

jcoote

don't wanna destroy kh's thread all together ..thats a nice ibanez u got very nice.. just check the priceone thomann and add on 60% and u have the irish price

feylya

Indeed. €600 isn't unrealistic then... Might drag it out to the local Ibanez dealer, see if he'd give me a good deal :rolleyes:

jcoote

no 600 is good ... i was looking at a prs tremonti a while ago and it was 600ish on thomann and 870 in musician inc.. stupid

feylya

Aye, gear prices in this country are ridiculous altogether. Hmm, the idea of selling the Ibanez almost appeals to me. I'm not getting on well with the bridge.

jcoote

i want a custom prestige with a flyod rose bridge and them seymour duncan pickups thats it !!!! sell it feck it change is good

feylya

It's lots of hassle though. Ah, I'll see.

Dunno what I'd get instead of it tbh. I'd need to replace it with something similar. I love the sound and the feel but I can't play the thing cos of the bridge

jcoote

new bridge???

david

It doesnt take a gibson bridge as far as i know...

Im interested if your selling the SZ.

feylya

Custom sized bridge. Won't take any others.

dabhoys

I've been looking at the Diezel VH4 for a while now. It is on my list of to get in the near future.

But for now yes the ENGL are ****ing sweet amps. I've played them and can assure you they are class.
