There will be more, but for now, here ya go. My live rig:

Diezel VH4 (wet, basis of overall tone)
Rivera KTre Reverb (More dominant clean tone, "thickener" for the rhythm tones)

EBMM Axis SS (I need MORE of these. I'm a total Axis SS junkie now)
EBMM Silo Baritone
(not pictured)
PRS Custom 22
PRS SE ONE
PRS SE Mike Mushok Baritone

Signal chain: Sennheiser EW100 G2 wireless --> RJM-16 front --> Trusty 535Q Wah --> Tuner --> NS-2 --> WH4 Whammy --> Line 6 Filter Pro --> Ibanez DE-7 Delay --> Maxon OD808 or Ibanez TS-9 -->AMP

In the effects loop: TC D-Two --> TC G Major --> MRX 10-band EQ (for lo-fi).

The Rivera and Diezel both see all of the front-end effects, only the Diezel sees the loop stuff.

Notes:
- The Filter Pro is a great unit, but has a HELL of a hum. I owned one years ago and dont remember this being an issue, so I may have a defective unit (HAH!).
- I'm getting kinda fed up with TC's build quality, so the G Major will be going bye bye. Not sure what I'm going to replace it with, though.
- I'll be replacing the 535Q with a rackmount wah when my new roadcase for the Diezel and rack comes in.

Oh yea, and I need some matching Diezel cabs.

That's about it.

You gotta hear it in the room with the Rivera. Holy hell.
 
looks great, probably sounds even better =0


as a g major suggestion i'd suggest looking at some of those older rocktron units, got a multivalve recently (basically a replifex with an optional 12ax7 in the signal path) great little unit, hardly any tone coloration and has some great effects, not too expensive either

Great rig, I bet it sounds massive!!

The Line6 pro units have notoriously BAD grounding and can cause all sort of crap. There are 2 easy ways of dealing with it:

- You can remove the ground wire on the power connection, it's dangerous and illegal but it works
- Use a Palmer PLI-01 or similar unit on either the send or return of the Filter Pro, that should fix the problem. http://www.palmergear.com/pli01.shtml

I hear the G-Major2 has much better build quality, otherwise, Rocktron makes/made some cool stuff but it all depends on what you need. I used to run a D-Two with an M-one and that was a great sounding combination. What fx on the GM are you using?

Thanks, man! Holy hell, $110 for that little box? Add it to the list haha.

I use just about everything on the G Major, besides the filter effects. The ability to run multiple effects at once is a must.

By the way, I've already tried removing the ground from the power cable. Even tried the ground lift on the RG-16. No dice, so I replaced that. It used to happen even without the RG-16 loop it resides in engaged. Got rid of that problem by using "directional" cables. Basically just removing the ground from one end of the instrument cable. I still have hum, but only when the loop is engaged.
 
Or maybe I'll snag a Pod HD Pro, run 4 cable, and ditch the G Major and the Filter Pro.

Very much this. Its an insanely underrated amp and because of that you can get it dirt cheap used.

I would love to hear your baritone through the Rivera :rock: :rock:
 
That Axis SS beats the hell out of my PRS. One of the best playing necks I've had my hands on. The baritone is a bit of a beast to get used to, but still plays wonderfully.
 
Nice layout, and like your pedal board setup. :thumbsup: Which cab do you prefer now?
 
They're both set up the same. V30/75 x pattern. The Rivera is super tight, and the Splawn is dark and huge sounding. Best of both worlds for me. Live, I'd go with the Rivera, though.

My Ground Control Pro just started dying tonight. Hopefully it lasts long enough so I can just grab the new RJM controller when that's released.

I haven't noticed a grounding issue with my Filter Pro. It is a very unique processor but I found it more useful for synth. I run a cheap Kawai K1R into it and run parallel with a Korg Triton Rack. Turns a bland POS synth module into a gonky, off the wall tone generator.

I am also dissatisfied with the GM2. It does the trick for a multi at that price point, but overall quality is unsurprisingly lacking. Really only use it for delay, verb, and tri-chorus. I saw a GForce for $650 that I was tempted to snag but I have way bigger rig priorities right now.

It depends on the rig but I have owned the Echo and Mod pro and worked on/with different rigs with either one of them and they almost all had the issue. It depends on the rig I guess but I had my Mod Pro in 3 different rack configs and the problem was always there.
