Early 90's revision F.

Wanted one since the mid 90's when I played one, but my high school budget couldn't cut it, then life took me different directions. I rekindled my love of playing this year, and now it's mine.

This has been a good year.
 
Tricabs no contest. Very busy year for me in terms of acquisitions. I've never been as excited over a purchase.

Not the best picture.. but this rig:

KK++
1970 1960B with Pre rolas. Best sounds iv ever heard.

without a doubt, EVH 5150 III 50-watt w/ EVH 2X12- I thought my last amp rig was happenning, but this has so much depth and versatility, and for the money, just a great score.
also my Fender FSR Black Paisley, great piece from Fender Mexico, looks amazing and play awesome.
 
Pair of Celestion Heritage 75hz G12h's.......hands down the best speakers I've ever heard......and I don't even like the Anniversary or 55hz versions at all.

Dimarzio Twang King tele set

Yamaha THR-10......don't judge one until you download the software and experiment with "unconventional" EQ settings. Amazing sounding little tool for the house!

Vibe pedal ( recommendations)
Drybell Vibe, KR MegaVibe(though some have reported not good dealings with the designer), Castledine Supra-Vibe, Sweetsound MojoVibe, or UltraVibe II or if you want to go all out and have the dough http://hp33.0zero.jp/664/unelive/ that EJ's tech turned me on to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... T5MpMfCJgo FWIW, Trower has used a couple different Fulltone Deja-Vibe units over the last several years.

Thanks!

Nice! I had one from July to November, when I traded it for my Lickliter. Was a GREAT amp and VERY versatile. But it was a bit compressed and geared towards metal. I traded it to a fellow Rig-Talker after I quit my last metal band. Still an awesome amp that I'd have no problem recommending to someone looking for an amp that does what it does.

Very cool. Seen those before and thought they were a neat idea. Sure as hell wouldn't wanna drag them to gigs. But awesome looking cabs for sure.

Also LOVE that Rivera power amp you've got there. Almost bought one last year to run my old Eleven Rack into. Seems like a total BEAST. Bet it weights a TON though.
 
Bought back a Cornford MK50 I sold 3 years ago....that and the TC Flashback.

Yeah weight is not currently a factor for me thankfully. The TBR5 clocks in at 67lbs so about the weight of one of the tricabs. I've been using it for about 4 years and it's built like a tank. The rig is overkill to the friggin extreme but it sounds incredible. For grab n go I just use the VHT and a Diezel 2x12. Great tones for any occasion.
