can't throw anything away! These are the garage rigs.

Mostly use the old GK 1001/210 combo w/ Neo 410MBE nowadays. Clean, crisp, growls, LOUD!!

Have had the '70 Sunn 200s since '72, my first pro rig from high school. The Concert cab is new to me - traded a Marshall 412 for it recently. Ran thru a Sunn 215CV and then a 118 Coliseum back in the day.

Concert head was biamped with a Peavey Mark III (not shown = broke down & busted) in the 90s. Peavey ran hi's thru a Marshall 412 bass cab, Concert Slave ran lo's thru the Sunn Coliseum 8028 cab (12+18).

Most of the gigging days was the Peavey Mark III run thru the Plush 215 cab with Altecs sitting sideways. Great sounding cab! That rig bought my house.

The Peavey KB300 is my wife's old 3 channel keyboard amp. Runs the lil' Roland 505 drum machine.

Was using the Crate BX-40 for small room jazz gigs. Now I just roll in the GK combo.

Yes, that's a '70 Shure VocalSmasher PA with 1/4 jack inputs. Still works. Tubey goodness - good for the Ricky.

HOLY $#*% :jawdrop:! What do you haul that rig in? I'm gonna guess one of those Bergs is a back up? Nice rig!

A 2001 Holden Astra hatchback!!! Tetris at its finest. I run both cabs simultaneously....I'm quite influenced by electric wizard in the "volume" side of things.
My guitarist uses a vox ac30 which keeps up great! (Albeit it always ring on max volume)


Nothing sounds as good as power tubes cranked with a good EQ!

I believe I have finally found the perfect blend of pre amp grind and power tubes for the svt Vr...

Master at 12, treble slightly boosted, mids flat, bass at about 1:30. This is with the 4003 so with a fender or something else you would probably hangs the mids to suit.
