My Joe Holmes inspired W-D/D/W-D rig is complete. At any time, I can have 4 of the 6 heads active with the Egnater Amp Switcher. Whenever I want any of the other two in, I switch out the amp on top of it manually. It sounds killer!

I have the line outs (from every amp through the Egnater amp switchers 4 independent adjustable line outs) going to the Boss SE-70 (which is usually just splitting the signal and not adding effects) into two SDE-3000s (one set for 250ms delay, one set for 500ms delay - both have a bit of modulation and dry signal), into the Matrix GT800FX power amp, into the left and right cabs. Center cab is powered by whatever amp is on dry from the amp speaker outs. The El Capistan is in the rack, but I have it in the loop of the Cherry Bomb. That way, I can demonstrate the effects loop if someone wants to hear it...

Amps from Left to Right:

1.) Brown Note D'Lite (Dumble clone)
2.) Custom Cameron "Apocalypse"
3.) Cameron Aldrich Mod
4.) Henning Cherry Bomb
5.) Henning PlexRod 100
6.) Cameron Hi/Low Gain Jose Mod

Lots of options with this arsenal! Hope there are no earthquakes in the near future! :lol: :LOL:

Are you able to coax any half decent tones out of this rig, Steve? :confused:

:shocked: Damn it.... That is f-ing hot. Your gear is so cool it makes me mad. :doh: :D Seriously..nice job. :thumbsup:
 
Damn I want to hear that rig, would not even care which head I was using I just want to play it LOUD wearing a feather boa making every rock pose ever done.
 
Steve, your flashing us a ton of quality gear but my ears aren't hearing any clips?


BTW, I have no idea what the Brown Note amp sounds like but that head box is beautiful.

Hey I've done a ton of clips! :D Just click on my sig...

Yeah, the D'Lite is in a custom case this dude made for it. Amp is pretty cool - really nice clean tone with the strat neck pickup and also a built in overdrive and boost that are both footswitchable...

Fly on out and we'll rock it, but leave the boa at home... ;)

That's an impressive rig! I'm loving the recording desk with the Great River and Apogee stuff! :inlove:
 
Killer bedroom rig ;)

I would have to believe that there's a lot of tonal redundancy going on between the Cameron mods and your own amps, no? Would you actually use all of those heads if you were headlining (pun intended) a big show?
Regardless, that's a killer setup...I'd certainly love to plug in and have a go! Where's the El Cap?

Honestly, all the amps have their own thing going on. There is enough difference between my amps and the Cameron stuff that I like having them all. The Aldrich sounds really different than the Jose as well. The Camerons have more gain/compression, which I like sometimes...

If I was gonna play a gig, I'd take only the Cherry Bomb head, the rack and the cabs. I like playing through all the heads, but the Cherry Bomb covers everything I'd want to play well enough. When I start taking this rig to amp shows, I'll replace the cabs with a Henning 4x12 for the dry sound and two Henning 1x12s for the wet left/right to reduce the weight. That is one of the reasons I replaced my VHT 2/50/2 power amp with the Matrix. It weighs 25 lbs less, is one space and sounds fine for the wet part of the setup.

The El Cap is in the rack on the top shelf on the right side. As I said in my writeup, I have it in the Cherry Bomb loop so I can demo the loop for people that want to hear it...

Yeah, those Seventh Circle Audio preamps are no slouches either - they sound really nice...

Steve
 
Insane Steve, I have no interest in anything like that and its probably due to the fact that Im just way too lazy and/or ADD afflicted to want to bother going through the hassles of setting it up AND getting it to sound right ( I had enough of those issues with a regular amp setup LOL!!!)

Would be fun as hell to play and Im not interested in feather boas...
