Main Rig

Sansamp PSA-1 OD Preamp & midi mouse controller
MAM Parametric EQ (bass, treble and para-mid)
Art Dual Levellar tube compressor
Soundtech PS802 2x400W Digital Power Amp
2 x SWR Triads (older models)

I usually just take one cab to rehearsals and small gigs and run one half of the power amp. I run the other cab and channel when I feel like shifting loads of air.

I've also got

Ampeg SVT300 tube poweramp - broken - needs new tubes and maybe output tranformer (ouch)
SWR Bass 350 - broken. Fan faulty and damaged it whilst working on it - I'll get it fixed with my Christmas money

I do a lot of recording with my Pandora. It sounds fine for rough mixes and stuff
 
I am using a Hartke HA5000 head, Bi-amped in to 4.5XL, and a 115Xl cabinets. For pedals I am running a Boss TU-2 tuner, into a Zoom 506, into a DOD bass EQ, into a Ibanez Fat head distortion, into a DOD deep Freeze chorus, into a Boss Limiter/Enhancer pedal. In my rack i'm using a Rackrider Power conditioner, BBE Maximizer, into a Behringer Denoiser, and a Nady UHF wireless. All used with a Ibanez SR3005, Sr885, and a Schecter Elite 5 bass. :bassist:
