Okay, old rig is circa late 80's early 90's Fender BXR300C 115 combo with a 115 Peavey extension cab. Veteran of many years of service, retired with dignity as a gift to a friend with no amp.
Church rig is circa '06 Ampeg SVT-AV head and SVT-AV 810 cab.
Gig rig is brand new Phil Jones M500 head, 8T cab and 16B cab. Dingwall AB1 fiver.
 
The peavey amp is giving me so much GAS!

:hiding:

Me too...I'm about to google it.

This is for my "Matt Russell" Gig (see sig).

I love the GK MB2-500. Great sounding amp...but doesn't like to be pushed too hard. I use no FX (well compression and a preamp) in that gig.

That is the 410 NEO (4 ohms)...so it is lightweight but bulky and awkward. I want to get a 210 NEO (4ohms) for that gig since we usually play small venues with the drummer on brushes or hot rods, and an amplified Acoustic guitar. We aren't very loud.

This is for a way louder band that I play in (FX...the whole 9 yards).

This was my first real rig...and the rack weighs more than the cab (same as in the previous pic). I tried to play the MB2 in that setting and with all the gain I was pushing into it...it would cut off and cut back on...perhaps something to do with the fan coming on...IDK, but I may have it serviced.

The plan is..after getting the 210 NEO...to incorporate the two for the loud band. This enables me to leave the Bulky cab at the loud band's practice space and keep the 210 with me to take to rehearsals and what have ya.
