i'm very lazy. (and possibly stupid)

i'm so sick of carrying a backup guitar to every gig when (touch wood) i havn't needed one yet. so i don't bring one anymore.

i have found a way to fit all my leads in my pedal board case.

so now i have four peices for every gig: quad box, Mesa head in it's roadcase, ibanez in it's case, and my pedalboard case.

[jimmyfingersminion]

i take two guitars.

my 2x12 combo

my pedal board (which is a hard case)

my gig bag that has all my cables/tuner/spare plecs in it.

it all fits neatly in my car boot (except one guitar, which has to sit on the back seat)

if the venue is a smaller one, i sometimes take six mics, stands and leads with me, just in case.

I used to bring the fogger. It was crucial!

And then the gear in the pic. The XT Live is in loop. In front of the amp I have a Marshall Edward comp. Modded BD-2 and TU-2.

i hope you don't sit the amp like that at gigs.

if you were in my band you be buying a new head every week

that is a little strange to have it on the floor like that when it would sit nicely on the Legacy 2x12 you have there.

Here's my band's stage.....


Our new PA is has (2)QSC 18' powered subs, (2)QSC powered 4' towers with 2-15" & horns that go on top of the 18"s, a 16 channel Allen & Heath mixer with built-in digital effects, a side rack of Lexicon effects, DBX compressors and headphone monitor amps, 100' 16 channel snake and everything including all drums are mic'd. Bass goes direct. We also use 6 wedge monitors on stage. We will need to upgrade to a 24 channel board soon. The 550 is now a backup to my Jackson Dragon.

I'm running all four 4-12" Marshall cabinets now: 2 from the JCM900 head and 2 from the AVT150 head for cleans (although only micing one of each). I'm using an A/B switch set on both and dialing in the clean with the overdrive - you get the roar and yet hear every single note in a chord from the clean side. We have a full-time soundman and are currently looking for a lightman.

you guys must make a ton of money at your gigs to afford all that high end gear and have a full-time soundman.

QSC, A&H, 3 full Marshall stacks, lights, 6 wedges: it's like a mini Woodstock on that stage.
