A video demo of my little live rig

[chris nix]

your tone is incredible!

what fuzz are you using?

It's a Psionic Audio 3.14. Sounds great through a clean amp as well, but I really like it into that Blankenship all the way up!

Chris that sounds STUNNING!! Especially those lush clean volume swells What delay are you using for those and what kinda setting is used?

Thanks!
The dirty amp is run into a Line6 Echo Pro. The Twin is run into Lexicon MPX-1 or an ancient Rocktron Intellifex (the Intellifex is set to an 8-voice delay for the volume swell stuff). I have a switch that triggers the custom Psionic rack interface to send the signal to either of those for the Twin.
When I switch amps, the Lava Flow (while also selecting which amp) triggers the interface to switch to which ever effect goes with the corresponding amp. The Lava Flow also has an extra switch for muting the wet rack all together, for a strictly dry amp sound.

Nothing in the rig is MIDI'd. Each effects unit is set for one sound only, so it's either one or on and off.

The fuzz and vibe part KILLED!!!!!!

Thanks for going over Burning Sulfer as well, my favorite song off your disk!

SO you said mics being switched, I take it you are micing the cabs for each amp and then sending that line level signal to the rack?


Glad to see you around

Exactly.

It's good to have a few minutes to goof off here! (I'm actually mixing something for someone; I just need a break every now and then so I come here and don't get any work done)

Agreed - Super killer

For Chris -

Maybe you can confirm (or deny) - Blankenship was purchased by the Diamond Amps guys, the amps will now be built by them ??? Roy Blankenship moving to TX to work in some capacity with these guys ? Bueller ???? is the time to get one of these now ????

He told me a few weeks ago that he had sold the company to them and was moving to Houston. As far as the amps go, I don't know if he will still be building them or what.

Thanks to all for the compliments and for checking this out!
Please feel free to ask about anything that isn't clear. I didn't edit or mix the video, so some pertinent info may have been left on the cutting-room floor.

Heya sexy MF!! I does work now and it sure sounds meaty and mighty. Screw the hum/hiss, this is what you get playing a manly amp

I always dug your idea of actually muting the mics, very cool, you are the 1st guy I know doing that.

 

[AmpliFIRE]

Awesome! I've got the KR Megavibe as well...it's a friggin killer pedal!

A little amp hiss is worth the tone a plexi puts out, that's for sure!

Yeah, the mic thing just made sense. I've tried pretty much every variation of the wet-dry-wet deal you can, and this just gives me the most control over what the audience hears.

Yeah, it's great isn't it?

I also have a Fulltone Mini DejaVibe that I like a lot. I think the Megavibe sounds a little more dramatic...more violent, I guess.
Is yours the normal one or the smaller one? I've never tried the smaller one and have been curious about the difference in tone.

It sounds great!

 

[JTyson]

Great stuff, nice tones

 

[mentoneman]

great job!

I really wish I could find a normal sized pedal that could do what the echoplex does but with tap tempo.

 

[70strathead]

great job!

I really wish I could find a normal sized pedal that could do what the echoplex does but with tap tempo.

...and when you find that, let me know too!

Seriously...put me down for one as well!

Yeah...I had a Dejavibe as well. I totally agree with the KR sounding more dramatic!

I've got the large box version as well...

Excellent! I think you'll really dig it.

Some guys have asked about a clear shot of the pedalboard, so here' the closest I could find:
