You make a great point Zach. I think when I began looking for "what I wanted," I wasn't as clear as I am now, although I did have the same rig for big chunks of time here and there.
It is the whole, I sound like me, regardless. So, what combo of amps/effects give me what I want.
I want to have access to specific amps, with specific effects, interchangeably, etc.
I chose the Axe FX for effects instead of other items, simply because if I took it out, it could also stand alone. However, I have my 2290 as well, it offers those loops. I still admire your rig and the flexibility it offers you.
With some dedicated time this summer, I want to really nail down all the components and put it together. Thing is, I will probably need a "baby" rig as well. Similar to what Dave has been saying, small, easy to carry, etc. Not for the same reasons, my wife would NEVER carry my gear , however the need for indoor and outdoor kinda thing is there. Not that the big rig is only outdoor.
Anyway, I appreciate these threads that consider possibilities and share what works for a variety of situations.
Thanks guys.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree that the Huge rigs are NOT for ALL occasions, and I do appreciate and enjoy having options allowing for compact solutions, as well. I wish everyone could enjoy having access to those options too.
The wife may not want to carry gear... That's what kids are for: LOL This is Phoebe, my friend/tech's daughter. She LOVES helping out!!!

Those pics are priceless...thanks for posting them.
I will probably map out a couple of different rigs and see how things fit together. Then I'll know if I need to let anything go or if maybe I need to acquire something new (insert evil grinch smile)
Love the little helper you got though...how totally sweet.

If you are thinking about a vacation here, let me know. I'm not gigging now, but that just means more time to have fun doing other stuff.

Running a Randall RM4 4 channel MTS preamp through a Peavey Classic 50/50 with 4 Jaded Faith Custom MTS Modules, and in the end into a straight Randall cab loaded with V30's
-Matt Page-
The pics show 2 different loadouts of the RM4 and older picture with some old modules and a newer picture with some newer modules. The picture on the bottom is my current 4 channels of great tube goodness!

I am not now currently in a gigging project, but have used this stuff for years in various bands, and studio recording projects.
The last band was a Journey tribute project that is now no longer. It was a fun, challenging and lucrative project, but nowadays I own and run a guitar store here in Hawaii. I teach, and will gig here and there, but using different/various gear depending on the gig.
I have a 12 year old student that is in a gigging band, and they ask me to come and perform with them every now and again, so I support them.
