Hello RigTalkers,

I've been lurking around the forum for a few months and now that the latest iteration of my rig is done (for now anyway), I figured I'd introduce myself and post some pics. I've really been enjoying the forum and look forward to contributing to the community in the future.

I'm located on the northside of Indianapolis. I play mostly hard rock/metal (Tool, Godsmack, Deftones, Breaking Benjamin, 5FDP, Killswitch, etc). I'm not playing in a band at the moment, just toying around with direct recording into my computer. Ok, enough about me, on to the rig....

Guitars
- Gibson Les Paul Classic
- Paul Reed Smith Custom 22
- Fender American Standard Stratocaster
- Takamine EAN10C
- Warwick Rockbass Corvette Std

Amps, Cabs, Effects
- Mesa Boogie Mini Rectifier 25
- Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister 18
- 2 Mesa Boogie Rectifier 2x12 cabs
- TC Electronic GMajor 2
- RJM Y-Not
- Fulltone OCD
- Dunlop Jerry Cantrell Wah
- Boss NS-2 Noise Gate
- Digitech Control 8
- MXR 10 Band EQ (not currently being used)

Im running a dual amp rig in a wet/dry configuration. As noted above, I'm not playing in a band, so the lunchbox heads really work well for me. The Boogie is my dry/distorted tone with the OCD out in front and the NS-2 in the loop. The Hughes and Kettner is my wet amp with the GMajor 2 running in the effects loop and controlling channels on the Tubemiester. The RJM Y-Not really ties the whole thing together enabling me to change amps and effects with a single MIDI program change.

Distorted tones from the Boogie and the Tubemiester at the same time is pretty killer. I've never had a dual amp setup like this and I gotta admit its pretty awesome to blend the tones from the two amps. This forum helped out quite a bit in planning out my rig. So a big thank you to everyone here at RigTalk for answering all of my noob questions before hand (yes, the search function DOES work).

I know the pedal board is pretty pathetic right now. That is the next thing on my list to upgrade. Here are some pics (excuse the crappy iPhone picture quality). Cheers...





 
Welcome aboard! Love the stacked 212 recto cabs and the two mini heads on top! Looks cool. :cheers:
 
Pretty adorable, yet somehow brutal at the same time.

Welcome aboard! :thumbsup:
 
That's a slammin little rig, dude. I dig em stacked on the 2x12s like that. You're gonna fit right in here, sir...welcome to the RT Nation!

That was my first thought as well, How cute!! Bet it crushes as well.

Welcome to the board!
 
Sometimes good things come in smaller packages. That's what she said never. Cool rig, love the bass and the amp taste
 
Welcome! Glad to have a fellow Hughes and Kettner fan on board!
 
Welcome! I like how neat and tidy your setup is. +1 for cable management!
