Into Marshall JCM800 4010 and Bass Combos
they are based on JBs. The black Studio I traded with Steve from Iron Monkey is with him at the mo. He made a pick up for me but it was too harsh - too modern sounding so he is tweaking that for me.
As it stands, I've changed a couple of things since my last band folded so my setup is somewhere close to what I last gigged with.
(JFET buffer) -> TC Polytune mini -> BYOC Compressor -> BYOC Divided Octave -> (Line 6 M5) -> Zendrive Clone -> Screwdriver Deluxe clone -> amp input -> loop: Boss DD-500 -> (Line 6 M5) -> Mosky XP Booster (EP Booster clone)
The M5 is in one loop of an order switcher device I made, with the drive pedals, the amp and the DD-500 in the other loop, so I can switch the M5 between pre- and post-dirt in the chain depending on the effect I'm using. It's also MIDI synced to the DD-500 for tempo-based stuff.
All hooked up to a Laney Lionheart L20T, four-cable stylee via a little patchbox I made, which also contains a teeny-weeny little JFET buffer.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Local gigs I can drive to:
Small stuff - Laney CUB 12 with pedal board
Large Room As above but supported by PA or Brunetti Pleximan if PA /fold back is limited.
Acoustic - Helix direct into PA
Other gigs (not doing these so much now):
Depping - depends on the gig - but would either be one of the above rigs if suiting - helix direct if not.
Fly dates - helix.
Tour - helix
I'm seriously thinking about selling my brunetti and buying a 2nd helix; using the laney for small stuff and helix for everything else. Helix feels great, is less faff and much as I love the Brunetti, I think modelling as caught up (especially when you hear you sound mainly from foldback) and is more versatile. My rig would be Helix + Guitar!
current pedal board is:
EB Wah
TU 3
DOD 201
Moog MF Chorus
JRAD Guthrie Trap
Boss DD500
Strymon Flint
Les Paul with P90s
Pedal board - pitchblack, Okko Diablo, RAT, DSD2, Booster
HRD Mk3
If I was gigging tomorrow, it would be whatever guitar was suitable into a Flyrig 5 into the PA.
Very, very simple. The rest is in the fingers and volume pot.
I play in an 80s covers pub band.
Marshall 2*12 (can't remember what it's loaded with)
Pedal board
Always has an OD which is nearly always a Nobels ODR-1
Always has an echo which can be anything
Plus a couple of nice "obvious" special effects which vary with whim, currently:
Univibe
Chorus
Fuzz
Verb/Tremolo -- (Strymon Flint)
Guitar->Korg Pitchblack->Dunlop Mini Wah->Mooer Black Secret->Ibanez Tubescreamer Mini->Ibanez Chorus Mini->Ibanez Mini Delay-> Peavey Bandit 112 Red Stripe clean channel on a Standback.
We play Dr. Feelgood / 9 Below Zero R'n'B mixed with a bit of early Stones, Doors etc.
I am trying to just use these three things at the moment.
It is sounding better, but not as fun.
I'm tempted to try a Bogner Red though - the Laney does a good sound but I've never really been able to get a big thick saturated rock sound (ala Jerry Cantrell) and the red could be just the job. Or maybe just save up for a Helix.
edit - a pic for good measure
my board has changed slightly now though. And the guitar has black covered pickups.

@digitalscream yeah that's not far away at all, when I'm in a position to be shopping for something so pricey I'll take you up on that offer! Right now I'm just gas'ing !
