is it the original pre caricature chia, or a late model chia?

where did you get it recapped?

a nice omni out about 6 feet through an api is like heaven on those things.

lucky guy...

and good seeing a soundguy post, man!

Yes I love my rig!

Guitars: '75 Les Paul Deluxe, or '90 Roger Benedict Groovemaster (spruce body hollow f-hole strat, SRV had one, Jimmy Vaughn too, Unfortunately Roger died a couple years ago)

Effect rack switched by Ground Control & 2 GCXs for 16 send/return effects including: Triangle Knob Big Muff (1st issue), TS 808, Roland Space Echo 555, Jamman, Mu-tron Ocatave Divider, Orange Squeezer, Dynacomp, T-wah, Maestro phase shifter, Roland Chorus Ensemble 1st model, Lexicon Vortex, Memory Man, and a few other things that change from time to time.

Amp: Fender Vibrolux Reverb.

My signal path is really short (inert gas filled, gold contact relays in the switching system) and sounds great. Before I had the switching system it looked like I was trying to put out a fire on the floor of the stage everytime I was changing my sound...

I also love my Korg MS2000 on top of my '69 Rhodes Student MkI. They feel like old lovers re-united.

I've got an Epiphone Standard Plus through my pathfinder 15. I have to love it! It's all I have.

Sounds nice when I really turn it up though. Lots and lots o' bass to go around

Mid 80s Modulus Bassstar through Fulltone Bassdrive into Eden WT-400 head and Flite 1x15 and 2x10 cabs. Can go from super clean to nice, wooly distortion. I usually use a shitload of other effects but this is the core of it all. Thanks to the graphite neck I can use my fingers and still get the aggressiveness and cut of playing with a pick.

Also, the Modulus sounds surprisingly good through my old Peavey TNT130. Laugh if you must, but the combination produces a really cool rock sound.

PRS McCarty -> Tube Screamer -> Matchless Clubman 35 or Rivera Knucklehead.

That's it! I wouldn't trade for the world.

Travis Bean atrist->Voodoolab octavefuzz->Boss Ge7Eq->Peavey Dep16->Soldano->4x12.

That's been it for that past 7 years or so I also have a TB standard and a Tele that sounds a lot darker then the TBs. For overdubs I borrowed a friends late 60s Fender deluxe and I must say that is one of the best amps for cutting through everything else, really great high end Birthday Party type overdrive.

Two rigs for two different bands:

71 guild s100> fulltone fulldrive II> boss tremolo> sovtek mig 50> sovtek single 12" cab with Naylor speaker.

71 guild s100> big muff> fulldrive II> sovtek mig 60> mesa half-open/half-closed 2 12" cab with celestion g12Hs.

The firt rig is for a southern rock/honkytonk/roots band, Gravy Boat.
Second rig is for punk ROCK band Jesus Christ Superfly.

Both rigs are simple, loud, and DEPENDABLE. For really small rooms, i substitiute my modified fender pro jr for the mig 50. I had a single 12" combo box built to replace the dinky stock 10". Makes a world of difference.
