My present setup... though the 1U Rack with the 20/20 is missing (not in the picture)

The way it was 2005

Now... there is no such thing as a "finished rack".... Rack version 01 2004:

2003

And 2002.... so no picture from the time before (when it was "only" a GX700 and a JMP1 which ran into a Valvestate 8240).

***Guv'nor*** · 09-14-2006, 06:59 AM

I do not know anything about all that rack stuff..... Could you please explain for what is each thing?

... and I guess you've got a pedalboard to control all that stuff on-stage. Don't you?

From Top to bottom:

Digitech IPS33B, Intelligent Pitch Shifter
Digitech Studio Quad (v2)
Drawer
Boss GX 700
Marshall JFX1
Marshall JMP1
Rack Interface (self built)

Both Digitech are used to create the "Shimmer" Sound, an attackless... kind of violinlike sound (more synthlike). often heard in some U2 songs.

The drawer... is not in the rack anymore, it's place was taken by a rackmixer (Rane SM26) that mixes the shimmersound and the "normal" guitar signal (pics will follow... asap

(right now I am moving, thoiugh it will take some time).

Basis for my sound is the JMP1, in conjunction with the Boss GX700 (imagine it to be countless Boss Pedals in one Rack Space), latter allows me to put FX before and after the Preamp (plus: the distrotion/overdrive Module works analouge).

The JFX1 (the only multi-fx built by Marshall) is used for some chorus/delay sounds in between.

Okay, some other stuff in here too:

In the single space rack you can see a Roland GP8, an old Multi-FX unit, but superb sound (though it only devlievers 8 FX,... but 6 of them are analouge).

Then, top to bottom

marshall JMP1 (preamp)
Boss GX700,
rocktron Patchmate
Drawer (this time with some pedals, mounted were:

Boss CH1 (chorus)
Boss AC2 (Acoustic simulator)
Boss PQ4 (parametric EQ)
Boss OC2 (Octave)
Ibanez LoFi7
Marshall Shredmaster

Marshall EL84 20/20 Power Amp
Rack interface
Korg A3

The Patchmate is a Looper System, that is controlled via MIDI, which offers 9 Loops, so you can add your pedals into that loop. Which each preset you program which Loop is active (and the Devide is in the signal chain) or not.

Well, poweramp should be self-explaining.. the rackinterface does provide some units with power, puts together power and midicalbe for my pedalboard (no picture..... sorry) and a fed thru.

The Korg A3 is (yet another) Multi FX, providing some "special" sounds.

An idea of the signal chain:

Well, only minor changes, the Boss AC2 is in the back of the rack, the other 5 pedals weren't in that setup.

Before I had the Rocktron Patchmate, I used an Ibanez EPP400 as MIDI-Looper.

Quite simple.... at that time I used an Graphic EQ before the powerwamp... actually the picture was taken, when I stopped using it (the flat setting says all

). I used that when I tried to make the sound "fit" to the location.

Yes, I use a Roland FC200 MIDI Board to control that stuff, with an additional Expressionpedal controlling the Volume of "Shimmer".

***Guv'nor*** · 09-14-2006, 09:02 AM

Wow! That was a detailed info!!!!

Thanks a lot.

Have you got some sound-files you'd want to share with us to see how all that stuff sounds?

Uh.... soundfiles.... you know, i try to hide my crappy playing behind all that equipment

I should have a sample of that shimmer sound somewhere, but I'll promise I'll do some examples... after I moved.

EDIT:

Shimmersounds:

Mainly GX700 and JMP1 (directly into soundcard... humming might come from Bass... and my missing knowledge concerning recording):

Hey The Dug, Nice

Hell_Tanner · 09-19-2006, 06:23 PM

Yep, nice collectionS (amps, guitars, CD's,...)

***Guv'nor*** · 09-20-2006, 03:19 AM

Lennynero ---> Great recordings!

The Dug: That's the equipment everybody should have to play at home!!!!

the dug · 09-20-2006, 11:44 AM

Hey thanks guys
the top is a plexi reissue from 1988,it has a mercuryOT ,and it sounds great.
the second from the top is a Metro Amp it has a 1969 PTP BOARD W/Sozo's and heyober OT and MM Choke, awesome also!
And on the floor is a 50Watt 1987X FROM 95',I put a PTP from Metro in it w/JJ'S and boy what a difference!
LP on the left is a 06' R8 and on the left is a 06' R7 both have Custom Custom SD pups in the bridge slot.
As for the CD's ,those are mostly my collection of rare John Tesh bootlegs and David Hasselhoff recordings!!!

style0 · 09-20-2006, 01:57 PM

My Marshall half stack is now complete. A 1976 50 watt lead head, and a 1978 4 X 12 with 70 watters(I hate blowing speakers). It's old and nasty just like me. I haven't gotten all the final tweeks done yet, but so far it's a killer. Looking forward to just how good it will sound when I get all the effects, eq and levels balanced out.

Plague · 09-21-2006, 02:08 AM

New here and a friend of "the Dug".

Here are some pictures of the new 50w plexi and the Fender Deville 4/10's on the clean side.

Last picture is of the guitars that play through them.

06 R9 and 83 Custom

Thanks for the 50w man!!!! I love it.

Oh! and give me back my autographed Yani CD!!

***Guv'nor*** · 09-22-2006, 04:45 AM

Now when my "new" amp arrived I can include my picture

The Marshalls:

All the family:

- '49 Frenzel Grommes Fender 5E3 Deluxe
- '67 Fender BF Bassman
- '71 Marshall Superbass
- '70s Fender Vibdrochamp
- '70s Fender Champ
- '80s Marshall Lead12
- '97 Marshall 6100 30th Anniversary
- '04 Tech21 Tradmark 10

I want to rebuild the 5E3 cab because I do not like the result (that black thing on the left). The amp (without the cab) is very nice and maybe I build something like an old radio or something like that.

Nice Combination... and now, when I see yours... I rememeber that I have an MS2 myself too

the dug · 09-23-2006, 11:32 AM

SWEET!!!

noisenet · 10-27-2006, 03:36 PM

The Heads are:
Left - 1982 JCM800 2204
Right - 1986 JCM800 2205
*Note - yes, that's blue tolex on the 2205. Have had a couple of astronomical offers from vintage gear collectors on this one - I ain't sellin!

Cabs:
Left - 1982 260 Watt (I plan on changing the grillcloth to Checkerboard soon. I've already got the material, I just have to get the free time to do it).

Right - 1979 260 Watt

While I'm posting, here's the pedalboard...

***Guv'nor*** · 10-28-2006, 09:53 AM

Great stuff!!

Don't you think there's too much space between the pedals in the pedalboard?

noisenet · 10-28-2006, 10:02 AM

Heya Guv,
Honestly, I don't do well when they're much closer. I'll also be singing lead and doing a lot of "blind" stomping so, any closer increases the risk of hitting the wrong switch. Also, I tend to wear boots with a pretty wide toe. Using a Line 6 PodXT Live, I'm ALWAYS hitting the wrong switch.

Oh yeah, there will be more pedals added in the future too, just as soon as I can afford it. That'll fill in some space too

***Guv'nor*** · 10-28-2006, 10:46 AM

yep, you're very right. I also sing in my band (Why can't I just play the guitar?????) and have same problem

fuzzman · 10-28-2006, 06:03 PM

Hi all,

I'm so impressed with all the Marshall gear and other stuff. Man, I wish I had a vintage Marshall.

Well, I thought I's share mine.

nevizzy · 10-29-2006, 10:58 AM

upgraded from a vs100 that served me well for 9 years to this 1982 jcm800 4010. i love it!

im pretty sure the vinyl is original. were these amps available in red as a special order? i was told by the seller it was originally made for an unknown celebrity player but the deal fell through and a marshall employee bought it and sold it to my seller. any info from you guys is greatfully recieved!

surfdog777 · 10-29-2006, 10:03 PM

My rig is on the right, JCM900 100w, other guitarist's is on the left JCM900 50w.

***Guv'nor*** · 10-30-2006, 10:43 AM

wow! that might have been a loud gig!!

Excellent (rubbing Hands)

"Smithers... who's that guy with the 50w Marshall?"

"Thats surfdogs Co-Guitarist from 7G"

***Guv'nor*** · 11-06-2006, 12:59 PM

Updating....

I bought a couple of 4x12" for the Marshalls

Once I had all the amps together I put the other main things too...

surfdog777 · 11-06-2006, 03:09 PM

Holy crap! Is that SIX DS-1s that I see there?

One helluva nice rig you've got .....

***Guv'nor*** · 11-06-2006, 05:51 PM

thanks dude. Too many things I guess.....

Yes, I've got 6 DS-1: 5 japanese and one Keeley Ultra-mod.
The funny part is that I do not use them right now.... I am mainly using a Tubescreamer in this moment.

noisenet · 11-20-2006, 05:35 PM

*Update*
My Marshalls mated and this was the result.

BTW - waiting till I can afford twelve Celestion 65's to put into my three Line 6 4x12's, for the other side of the stage. Oooooo, pure Marshall Bliss!!!!!

paulbetancourt · 12-19-2006, 03:42 AM
