It officially begins. I snagged a used GCX off eBay for a good price. The power conditioner and the drawer for the RL and the pedals will be next.
I've started using the Fractal through my DSL's power amp and it is just so good. I've been using the Soldano X88 model for my main sound, but...
I go fairly low. When I play seated I play in classical position, so I'm used to having my right arm straight. Im 6'2" so I need to find straps that are over 60".
Plus it looks cool.
Seen this picture of a Ceriatone 2204 built into a Mesa rack chassis... how sweet would it be to have a genuine Plexi power amp section in a rack chassis?
Looking at rackmount loop switchers. The Voodoo Labs GCX seems like the runaway favorite for under a grand, and it seems like it would work perfectly with my setup.
There are four (potentially five) pedals I would go outside Fractal for: the Boss SD-1, the Phase 90, the MXR Flanger, the Sabbra...
Right now my rig is a Fractal FM9, a Marshall DSL100HR and a V2-modded Ceriatone 2203.
I gave up on having a massive pedalboard last year and I'm very happy with the FM9. But still, there are some odds and ends I want in my rig, and a rack is starting to make more and more sense, so I took the...
This was Zakk's first full tour with Ozzy since 1992. Between November 15 1992 and October 31 2001 he'd only played a handful of dates with Ozzy in 1998, filling in for Joe Holmes on a tour of Oceania. So this was the big comeback for Zakk, and in the interim he had started BLS and was now a...
I mix it up, but if I'm truly undecided I default to Duncan.
In my fiddles right now I've got the following:
- EMG 81/85 (two guitars)
- Duncan APH-1/APH-2
- Duncan Distortion/Custom Strat/Custom Stack
- Jalen Origin
- Vineham Triple D set
- EMG 81 single
- Duncan AHB1/AHB2
- Lace Sensor Hot...
Honestly the show would have been a lot better if it had just been a house band made up of former Ozzy members, with various guests dropping in to do Ozzy/Sabbath tunes all day.
How cool would it have been to have Sarzo, Trujilo, Inez, Zakk, Jake, Borden and Clufetos all sharing the stage...
