So have questions about what guitars, amps, cabs, etc. to switch and mix up at Rehearsal, Home and in my Bedroom. I'm in a 2 guitarist 70's/80's/90's/early 2000's classic/hard rock cover band in standard E tuning and have a couple songs in drop D.
Rehearsal room rig: Mesa Boogie Tremoverb Head & Tremoverb 2x12 cab with stock Celestion Vintage 30's, footswitch from Voodooman and a DigiTech RP360XP through the FX loop for effects only and use the pedal on it for solo boosts, same with the DigiTech RP360XP on my live pedalboard. For guitars, I've been using an Ibanez ARX for drop D songs and for standard E tuning, switching back & forth between an ESP LTD KH-602 Purple Sparkle & a modded Ibanez RG with 2 mini toggles to go from Series to Parallel and DiMarzio Dominion bridge & neck pickups with a DiMarzio Red Velvet middle single coil.
Home bedroom rig has been my Line 6 Toneport UX1 USB recording interface hooked up to my HP Pavillion p6-2100 desktop computer in my bedroom through some Altec Lansing computer speakers (2 desktop speakers and small sub on floor)
Live rig: My other guitarist & I both have been using Marshall DSL40CR 1x12 40-Watt Tube Combo amps and they will both now be sitting on On-Stage RS7000 Tilt-back Amp Stand's & we each run various guitars & rotate through different guitars from time to time to keep wear & tear down.
So here are some ideas I had for changing up the rigs, let me know what you think:
For Home, use the Mesa Boogie Tremoverb Head & 2x12 cab, Voodooman footswitch, DigiTech RP360XP through FX loop for effects only and use a Behringer PS-1 Power Soak down in the basement.
Home bedroom rig; I have a newer HP Laptop computer running Windows 11 Home Edition with Intel Core i3 processor and a new 34 inch LG curved computer monitor with built in docking station and thinking of getting a new USB recording interface that has Zero Latency & keeping my Line 6 Toneport UX1 USB recording interface for backup, instead of using the old Altec Lansing computer speakers (2 desktop speakers and small sub on floor), get new great sounding actual studio monitors, not expensive ones.
Rehearsal rig: ???
Live rig: ???
Other amps, cabs, guitars, effects, etc. that I have to work with:
Boogie Mark V 90-watt head
EVH 5150 III 50 Watt v2 6L6 head
Peavey 6505+ Head USA Made
Solano SLO Mini 30-watt solid state head
Marshall Artist 3203 Head with matching 1965A 4x10 cab
Marshall 1960A w/2 WGS Retro 30's and stock Celestion G12T75's in X-pattern
Harley Benton G412A Celestion V30's
Harley Benton G212 Vertical Celestion V30's
Pedaltrain Mini pedalboard
Pedals: 40th Anniversary Boss SD-1, Maxon OD808, MXR M234 Analog Chorus Pedal, Boss NS-2 noise gate, ZOOM MS-70CDR Multi FX pedal, MXR 6-Band EQ and Danelectro Fish N Chips 7-Band EQ, Morley Bad Horsie Wah
Anyone have any suggestions or input?
