2012 Rig Upgrades... Crazy? Over the top? I think so and ...

[rupe]

My thoughts are....If you are Happy with that rig and you don't mind lugging all that crap around then go for it

That's my thought as well. Your rig is the epitome of overkill IMO (I'm sure you'd crush with a few pedals and single amp...and your audience would most likely never know the difference) but if it floats your boat, go sailing

can't fix the 80?

I agree with this 100%. At the end of the day, If Zach is Happy , that's all that counts.

Here's a picture of my smaller rig. I keep this one around to play for friends in the back yard.

Awesome rig! The Cameron will be a great addition!!

I see you have the TC Chorus unit in there which is something I have not seen one of those for awhile.

What the hell is up with the two little Crate (?) combos on top of the Diezel rack?

Those are my speaker cabs. I told it's for small intimate gatherings in my backyard.

Yep, you guys summed it up for me perfectly..

seriously, zach's rig is a dream come true, all he's talked about since 81 when i first met him, and it sounds ridiculous. and it's cheaper than this:

Ethos OD...that pedal has gotten some great reviews. How do you plan on running that Zach?

You know the rig is involved when you use satellite triangulation to run your wireless.

 

[rlord1974]

I guarantee you'd sound just as good with a Paul, tuner, wah, boost, chorus, echoplex into a Plexi and one 4x12.

But if it makes you happy, go for it.

+1

Less is more.

 

[Zachman]

If it makes even a little sense financially, and it's something you want, then I don't see how it could go wrong.


How much does your current rig weigh? Just out of curiosity

200 lbs for the big rack. The amps, cabs, Floor Controller, Power amp rack, guitars, and box of cables etc... around 800-1000 lbs all together, including the Big rack. (Not counting ALL of my gear), just the (3) cab w/d/w rig w/ the 4 amps, power amp, floor controller in the case, guitars and tools/cable case.

Does the 1000lbs include the Steve Vai "Pageantry" Fan?

Definitely!

No... Less is LESS options

Badronald didn't take into account that I also gig using smaller gear, similar to what he posted, and no it doesn't sound "just as good". Not even close
