Rig #1.
Millennia TD-1 preamp
Meyer MTS-4A powered speaker system (1x18" + 1x15" + 1x12" + Mid/HF driver, 4 power amp channels totalling 2480W -- only 280 lbs).

Rig #2.
Millennia TD-1 and Read Purity preamps
two Crown MA-2402 power amps (bridged)
[Mixer and switching to allow either preamp into both power amps or blend both preamps each with it own power amp.]
Accugroove Bill Dickens 212 + BD Sub
or
EA CL-310 (two cabs -- vertically stack them)
or
Schroeder - 410 stacked on top of a 21012.

Rig #3.
[Best bang for the buck KILLER rig]
Demeter VTBP-201S preamp w/Mullard 12AX7 tubes (2nd hand would save some buck$)
Crown MacroTech MA-2402 power amp (bridged)
Schroeder - one 410 (or 21012).

[If you're on an extreme budget (like I usually am):
substitute a SansAmp RBI for the Demeter
substitute QSC RMX1850HD for the Crown power amp
substitute a Schroeder 1210 for the 410.]

I've also been thinking lately that it would be cool to have a Mesa/Boogie system:
M/B 400+ head
M/B 410 Diesel (pair) -- the older cabs (I think with E-V drivers).
 
#86
Mine hasn't changed much (and i already own the cabs of my dreams), but I'll play again:

1. Trace Elliot V8, Bag End S15x-d, Bag End S15-d

2. Aguilar DB 680/728, same cabs as above.

3. Orange AD200b, w/matching cabs orange 410 & 115
 
#88
OK i would have the same rig with just different heads.

All rigs consist of:

(2) Ampeg 810E Cabinets
Tech 21 Sansamp PSA-1
Line 6 DM4 Distortion Modeler
Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler w/ expression modeler
Boss RV-3
Boss OC-2
EHX Big Muff Russian
BBE 482i Sonic Maximizer

And the heads would be :
Ampeg SVT-CL
Ampeg SVT-II
Aguilar Pre/ Power amp setup 728/659

I'm not sure why so many seem to want to run a Glockenklang pre through a QSC power amp.... :eyebrow: but to each his own I guess.

For me... got the ultimate head - Glockenklang Heart-Rock. currently running through a Bergantino 322. I may eventually switch to Glock cabs... we'll see.

To me,the Glockenklang BassArt Classic pre-amp sounds way better than the Heart-Rock.The Heart-Rock sounds great,in fact,it sounds like a Soul head with alot more power,but it's pre-amp doesn't touch the BassArt.

I have owned (1)BassArt Classic Pre,(1)BassArt pre,(1)BassArt Classic head,(1)BassArt head,(2)Bugatti 400 poweramps(3)Heartcore heads,(4)Soul heads.I have yet to buy a Heart-Rock,but I have spent alot of time with one(I have had four of them at my store),and they do sound great,but if you want the Ultimate Glockenklang sound,buy the BassArt Classic Pre-amp with a Bugatti poweramp,or just a BassArt Classic head(it has half of a Bugatti built in)!!

Well, I can always add a bass art classic pre down the road if I want. The power amp in feature is nice for this kind of thing. :D

Small is my LMK with a pair of high end 12's ( I have a Mark std112h now and just ordered a bergantino ht112)

Medium
Euphonic Audio IAMP 800 with a pair of 2 x 12s

Large
Millenia Pre
some sort of tube power amp
Pair of Aguilar 4 x 12s


Hmm I think I like the 12's....although pairing the 12s with an occassional 2 x 10 is nice too...
