I have it set up on the low B through high B. I have to use some fairly heavy strings to help out with the tracking on the lower strings. It also helps that on the GR-33 channels I use it on, you can adjust the sensitivity and attack of the individual strings. :wink:
I first plug into a two channel true bypass loop pedal (ADL Switchbox Double). In the first I have a reissue MXR Phase 90, a Morley Bad Horsie 2 and a DigiTech Bad Monkey. In the second channel I have an Ibanez Turbo Tube Screamer TS9DX set to "+".
Out of the true bypass box it goes to one of three amps(because I can never decide which one I like) :
1.) a Marshall Artist 3203 head, then to either a Marshall 1x12 or a 4x12 1960A, all with Celestion G12T-75 speakers. If I use the 4x12 (16 ohms, non stereo version) I use a Scholz Power Soak in between the head and cabinet because the Artist head only has 4 or 8 ohms selection and with the Power Soak set to 16 ohms (speaker), the suggested amp setting is 8 ohms. So I use it as a sort of converter, not to attenuate.
2.) or an old Randall Switchmaster head
3.) or a Peavey Rock Master/Classic 50:50 rack set-up. Except that I use a Marshall 1960B straight at 4 ohms with this.

All of these guitars fo directly into my one and only amp/effect:
SansAmp PSA-1
That's it. i play direct and don't use effects. I also have not used an amp for ten years. Doesn't matter how big the show is, the SansAmp really takes care of everything. Everything is in there. For me, effects are for studio stuff, and I have them in my own studio. But when I play (not record) then it's always direct. Always.

peavey backstage plus 1 speaker 30 watt,
Jcm 900 dual reverb 100 watt, with 30th anniversary blue cab.
