Post your small rig that sounds big

[projectk2r4]

I mean...I've had the wall of amps and don't begrudge anyone...in fact, I wish I had the wall of amps just for fun at home...but small rig that sounds good equals "portable enough to fit in my Hyundai"...maybe it is my aching back talking

I completely hear you man, none of that stuff ever leaves the house. My leave the house rig last time was a 6505+, a Mesa 2x12, a Boss NS-2, Maxon OD808 and a Vox Timemachine. That's it.

I offed the amp to help fund a Mark V, but it was still cool to sling an amp around your neck. 'Still have the cab, but I'm open for offers.

Until yesterday I would have said my Quick Rod and Splawn 2x12 was the most massive portable tone around, especially with the half-power switch. However, yesterday I received a Jet City JCA24S+ (Oversized. JCA24S that is THD ported and has JetDirect XLR output on the back. That cab sounds MONSTER!!! For the price I think it's the deal of the century. Played it with my older Quick Rod and my Ceriatone AFD #35 and both just SLAYED. Doug is putting out some killer stuff that is worthy of some serious attention. Could have used this cab last weekend at Paladino's. Between Splawn and Jet City with the OEM Eminence speakers Celestion is kind of taking a back seat. That little Epiphone 1x12 rig I posted has a Splawn Big Block on board. In front is a BOSS POWER STACK and DD-20. Simple. Oh, and it'll drive a 4x12. Then again so will that little Smokey amp, but only for about 20 seconds before the 9V battery screams for mercy...

My new grab 'n go rig is my Jet City JCA22H + JCA24S+. Can light up a decent sized venue with great tone and Channel switching. Got your great drivers, got your D.I., what more could you need? Modulation delay in the loop? Carbon Copy... Or DD-20... Done.

Honorable mention goes to the Hughes & Kettner Switchblade 100C. Great all-in-one 2x12 -- just heavy... If they put the Hughes & Kettner Red Box D.I. on the Switchblade/Coreblade that would be a serious contender.

Most of these small rigs are powerful amps with small cabs.

The cab isn't in the pic... but who needs to see a pic of just another Mesa 1x12?
