This is the rig I've been using for the past two weeks. Simple, yet effective.

And for those who may question if its actually passing signal. :D

Dan Gower modded JVM 205c sounds great and covers just about every era of Marshall. Much more punch and that Marshall roar than a standard JVM. Simply the best amp I have ever owned or played.

The description of whats here is in my signature. The Strats are both Black Tops, with the same pick up configuration. Both have a coil tap switch. The Sonic Blue has a kill switch, and the Black one has a Bloodwood w/Ebony Warmoth Neck.

I was going to be slick and take a photo in the garden but it was dark when I got home, so here we are - blurry shot taken in a moment of pride before our gig last weekend. :lol:

Let's keep it clean, fellas.

Epiphone Elitist (Frankenphone) Les Paul Custom with custom Mahogany/Ebony neck and Gibson headstock. Dimarzio 36th Anniversary PAF in the bridge.

Gretsch g5420t (totally stock)

Early 90's Fender '59 Bassman Reissue with Eminence blue frame alnico speakers

(Explaining my board would take up a ton of space, but I can if you need me to for the contest. It's also explained in the Large Pedalboard category)

I love princetons and teles with no pedals.

Dolfs rig is closest to what I would actually use.


Mikes... Well I have almost the same rig but a drip rail 68, with a better strat and a Tele. I know that sound. Without pedals it is cool for srv or turning way up. It's not my ideal rig these days and I know from experience:

Dolf's rig is great I would happily rock it. But bf pro reverb > all.

Shea's mortatrem hands down.


Having played that rig, albeit with a proper direction LP, it was heavenly.

I've put the MortaTrem against a properly tuned BF Pro Reverb. Mine wins in the overdrive department. :o

Clean platforms?!? Sheeeeeeeit. Volume knob, son. :cop: :p

Shea, love ya mang but I voted for the better amp :lol: :cop:

And sorry but a 90s bassman RI isn't in the same league as a bf pro. But as usual these things are a popularity contest. I'd say could do an anonymous one in future but lots would know who's rig is who's.
