Wired up this fly rig for a tribute tour. Powered with a One Spot. Zoom B3 in the LS2 loop for clean blend that sounds way better than the blends in the B3, into Chi Wah, and MS-60B for selectable boost, always-on LPF/Compressor/Noise reduction.

Is that a pedal base for a wireless setup? Don't recognize it, what brand? I tested out the Line 6 G10 and it worked perfectly.
Thanks! I almost bought an AT system but it had the other kind of wireless base. I stuck with the G10 largely because of the rechargeable battery.
I want a G10 because of the recharge and price point, but don't like the 'bug' format. Would prefer a beltpack and cable.
Nice setup!!
Edit note those settings are for when my amp is on an amp stand hence the higher low end settings which when not on stand low is around 2 and low mid around 1130/noon

That's awesome, same pedal order too! Do you ever run this set up straight to FOH? Also, what amp are you running it into? I've been thinking about upgrading my amp in the near future, been pondering the Mesa D800...
Right now I have a Traynor SB115 combo which I run into the 1/4" aux input its more for practise although I think it could handle a small rock gig with one guitarist.Traynor makes great amps. I have full range EV ZLX 12p and have gone direct into that and is a little harsh but can cut highs to make it work but cab SIM pedal would be nicer to have. I had the Mesa Subway DI pedal and really liked it but I also wanted a B7K really bad so I sold to fund on a used one I got for a really good deal. You won't be dissappointed with the Mesa gear I think period. There the Mesa D 800 PLUS AS well and has a few more favourable options.
That's good to hear about the Mesa gear, I heard some comments saying the d800 amp was a little bit dark so I was a bit worried about how it would handle the darkglass stuff, although then i've heard some comments saying that it takes effects really well.. I had a DSM Noisemaker Omnicabsim briefly and it sounded awesome. I think my unit was faulty, however, as it was adding a lot of signal noise (especially through the headphone jack) and the power jack wasn't flush so my power cable didn't fully insert. Based on the sounds i was getting, i would have loved to keep it but couldn't live with the faults. They were excellent with customer service though and really good to deal with! Easy return, even though it was on the other side of the world.
I too did find the preamp a lil dark but can easily dial in a nice tone. To correct myself I sold mesa to fund empress and got b7k with tax return and b7k sounded great through it and the Deep switch is magical..
I run a DG SuperSymmetry > a DG Vintage MicroTubes > D-800 and the Mesa handles the DarkGlass stuff like a champ -- the whole rig sounds so choice... With the VMT off, it's clean and deep -- kick it on and you can go from a bit of overdrive to full on dirt.
DG & MesaBoogie -- you will have no regrets nor any excuses!

Thanks for that! I'm really glad that's the case because the Mesa's features are ideal. Also doesn't hurt to have additional motivation to buy haha. The D800 and D800+ are quite pricey over here in NZ though and none come up second hand so might wait a bit longer to see if they get cheaper.
Here's my current rig: Modulus Flea -> Darkglass Super Symmetry -> DG VMT -> Source Audio Manta -> TC Corona mini -> Kliq Tinytune -> MB D-800 -> Mesa 115 & 112. Board is a PT Nano+ powered by a Cioks DC5. Runs and sounds like a dream. Any problems with this rig have nothing to do with the gear!
Here's my latest small board. I really miss my Sadowsky MV5 so I couldn't resist the new SBP-2 pedal preamp (it's the little brother of the DI version, just without the DI and tuner out) and it does add something special to my two passive G&Ls (JB & LB100). This is a great combo - the beelzebub adds a lovely tube sound and the FEA also adds some magic. If needed, I switch out the Triode pedal for a Southampton Fifth Gear (very similar but is can get gnarlier).
Cool to see another Beelzebub in the wild. It never comes off my board.Here's my latest small board.

This is my little dirt board as of today.
This hooks up to another little pedal board I have with a valvedrive and trutron and a switcher/ mute box sorry I don't have a pic handy of that one.
