Rig re jig big/bigger/biggerist

professorben

ok so I'm starting a new project purely writing and recording and jamming together in a classic trio format. 

I want the biggest sounding arrangement of my gear I can get. 

Think Tool, Karnivool Toska, Intervals etc. 

Mesa Studio Preamp (stereo outs)
Avid Eleven Rack multi fx (multiple outs)
Flashback x 4 delay/looper (stereo)
Rocktron 120w stereo power amp 
Engl Screamer 50w 1x12 combo (mono)
Marshall mf400 oversize 4x12 (mono)
Jet city 2x12 (stereo/mono switchable)

midi loop/switcher taking care of switching duties. 

I can leave my gear at a dedicated secure room, so break down and transport is not an issue really. 

Stereo?
wet/dry?

something else???

I'd sell it all, get a Diesel VH4 stereo and a wire that mode 4 cab to split into stereo sides, replace two of the k100's with two CL80's and level small towns with the resulting riffage.

Ha ha, well yeah, maybe get a Helix or a Kemper......

im open to options, btw I don't have anymore cash to chuck at this.

Personally mate i'd probably keep the Mesa Pre, get a 50/50 valve power amp and a second JCA 212, that would be a big sounding rig and you'd easily cover costs by selling the M4 cab and Engl combo

Hmmmmmm interesting. 

That would fit in my rack too.

Get more cabs. Side by side 4x12s (don't stack them) will sound big

Yeah, I'm a bit limited by funds currently. 

Im thinking to sell the Engl put that towards a nicer power amp.
