If not for spell check I would not be able to read my own post.

So... Peter are you getting rid of some G-Systems for a good price then?

Thats the first thing that went through my mind as well.

Well, not if he was offloading them, but why he dumped them.




What kind of cables do you think those are?

I need to go pick up some shorties at lunch.

I believe Peter keeps the TC Nova System for his "fly rig" as he can carry it on the plane and the touring rig for...touring.

No problem Pete didn't even notice. Dave

Well there could be a lot of reasons why he'd want to switch really. I'm looking to get a G-system soon though so if for some reason he was selling one...

Hi guys- I saw Brad's rig and that was the inspiration for mine, actually. It works great, using the Eggie for added voxy sounds mainly.

No I'm keeping the G System rig intact, I use multiple rigs and if for instance I had to fly to Europe with just a pedalboard and they didn't want to cart the rack I could use my G system rig. Sometimes I need 2 rigs in 2 places. I like using the G system rigs around town and in the studio too, the smaller of my 2 G system boards fits in my car nicely.

The Carvin is a backup poweramp. I was blowing fuses in the randall alot (seem to have that sorted now) so I put the Carvin in as a safety measure. It doesn't sound half bad for the wet cabs! Not too loud, but I'm playing quieter lately anyway, my ears are getting real sensitive..

bottom line- too much gear

Thanks to Dave and John Suhr and all at Suhr for making my life easier with their great products and great work...

Bruce Egnater mentioned on the MTS board about using 400ma tube fuses for the Randall stuff.

When I gigged with an RM4 and an RT 2/50, I had EL84s (with THD Yellowjacket adapters) on one side and KT88s on the other. I'd run a modded Top Boost (randall vox) module with the 84s and it really helped make it 'voxier'. I keep thinking about running my Fractal with the RM4 and RT 2/50, but don't know if I want to lug that much weight around for the small bars I play.

How does that make you feel, Brad? Pete was inspired by your rack.

Virtually same module configuration here. I'll be getting a COD for my 4th but EG5, BMAN, and VX are in there now. Good choices.

Killer work as always Dave, you make the tidiest racks man!

Looks great

Dave,

Quick question on the back of the rack connections. How is the panel(patchbay type thing?) wired - where the cables from the pedal board plug in, and the cables that go from the rack to the head. Is it just a panel with female/female inputs? Or is the inside hardwired to the panel? For the guitar amp cables, does this cause any signal degredation? This is something I'd really like to get into my rack when I get it near completion.
