My new amp set up!

[eljodon]

It's almost finished, I have 2 Furman PQ3 which were being repaired. I needed some of the pots repaired. I'm using the Ampete for switching 4 amps.I'm also using a new modified Power Station as an attenuator. I'm not using the Ampete's fx loops,instead I'm running a Boss GE 10 and a Hush Super C through the Fryette Power Station's fx loop. I'm using the Fractal MFC101 for switching the RJM Effects Gizmo using 12 pedals which includes a 78' MXR Phase 90,MXR 10 band eq,2 Furman PQ3, Maxon OD808, Green Rhino, Fulltone Full Drive 2, OCD, Carl Martin Compressor, EP3, CAD Boost. I use the last loop in the RJM Effects Gizmo for other pedals that I might need and all pedals are running through ISP Decimator G String. At the bottom of the rack, there's a Mesa Boogie 2 90 which I use for my Axe Fx 2(currently used as a tuner). I used to use it for slaving my amps but since the Power Station does a great job and it sounds amazing especially after being modded, I don't need to slave my amps with the 2 90 anymore.

The amps I'm using now from top to bottom is a Scumback 68/69 100 watt Plexi, a new BE100 which replaced my Marsha HBE/BE, Metropoulus 68 plexi modified by Dave Friedman to a Metro/Friedman Plexi, Suhr PT100, ENGL Powerball 2. On the left side is a new Mesa Boogie Rectifier and further left is a Vox AC30 and a Night Train.

The rack has the Ampete 444, Fryette Power Station, TC Electronics 2240 Parametric EQ, 2 Furman PQ3(missing in the picture),Rocktron Hush Super C,Creation Audio Labs MWV1 Studio Tool, RJM Effects Gizmo and at the bottom a Mesa Boogie 2 90 power amp.

Wow !!! Noice !!!

Seems like a lot to deal with on a gig. Do you have roadies or a tech who takes care of setup/tear down or do you do it all yourself?

 

[hstlaurent]

Wow cool setup man. How do you like the Ampete?

This is a studio set up. If I would have time to gig I would use the Axe Fx 2 with the 2 90 and a 2 x 12 cab because I have really bad back issues!

I removed the low pass filter and the presence control is different, more like a Plexi which is narrower. The PS sounds brighter with more air without the low pass filter. I prefer that my cabs do the filtering since they only reach 5 or 6k. This made a huge difference for me because as soon as I first tried it, I knew it had a low pass filter especially with my Plexis because they sounded a bit darker.

What mods were done to the Power Station???

I love it! The switching is smooth and quiet, except for the PT100 which has always had a high pitch squeal issue which you hear for a short moment when switching between the other amps. I'm selling it because I'm disappointed with the clean channel and the noise issue. The amp sound fine but not stellar for the amount of money I paid for!

Is this the newest version of the PT100 you are speaking of?

It's the one before the newest one. When I bought it new, Suhr came up with a new one 4 month after I bought it. It's a shame because from what I read they changed the circuitry quite a bit, especially the OT, if I remember correctly. I experimented with different tubes, but the clean channel still sounds dark to me. Since the PS has a 3 position bright switch and a presence control, I can compensate for it. The amp sounds good and I like the bottom but I need an amp that sounds different from the rest and the BE100 does a better job. For some reason the PT100 sounds much louder than the BE100 with the Sat switch off.
