Here's a video series of my rig from my Youtube channel! Check it out! http://www.youtube.com/user/myownself26?feature=mhee Whole lot of info! Should hopefully clear up a lot of questions I've been asked over the last few months! Enjoy! 8)

I'm actually working on doing some more vids, I need to clarify some things... maybe focus on showing off the tones more, since I didn't have the Marshall on during the vid. It was only the Mesa! 8) I also thought that too much reverb came across in the video, I think I want to simmer that...

For whatever reason I couldn't get the tone I was looking for out of the Triaxis. I actually had the Mark V and Triaxis running at the same time, and again, couldn't get them to blend well. However, when I blended them for clean or Lead, it was out of control, loved it! Next week, it could go...

So after months of waiting, here's a few you tube vidz of the 'ol rig. Keep in mind, I forgot to mention a few things. 1. Within the sliding shelf along with Whirlwind selector, Morley Quad Box and the Boss NS2 is a Voodoo Lab amp selector. This is how I achieve the dual amp ability. Out of the...

Well, he technically has several rigs. He has a custom Mesa amp selector with the option of 4 different amps in any different combination. which I'm sure you already know. 1. mesa triaxis #1 2. Mesa triaxis #2 3. Diezel VH4 4. Line 6 POD X3 yet, if you heard two different sounds, that means...

Well, Unless, A: the acoustic is DI out to front of house, or B: the acoustic is going through the POD X3 and when James changes from acoustic tone to Electric/distortion tone his good 'ol guitar tech changes his patch via the Voodoo Lab GCP midi foot controller. I would think the acoustic is...

Exactly! The In ears are Front of House Mix from their ISO cabs, as well as the selective monitor wedges. I watched the above posted hour long interview with Big Mick Hughes on you tube, he mentioned some cool little tidbits about the mix. One being, even though the In-ear monitors are great...

When I think tone for Hard Rock/Metal, it's the mighty Metallica tone! Whether it be, The KEA-RTL era with the old Modified Marshall with an Pro-CO Rat pedal in front, or the MOP-AJFA tone with the Boogies Mark IIC+ preamp slaves into the power section of a Marshall with some Aphex Parametric...

I'm glad Petrucci was brought up! I agree ten-fold about Petrucci being completely open about his gear, settings, techniques etc... I love the mentality... this is what I use, how I use it and if it helps you out, cool! As for the Het's Triaxis mod, You're probably right, it's some simple...

I hear ya!!!! 8) The tech dork in me figured it was worth a shot to receive some answers to the mysteries of James' modded or unknown use of certain said equipment. Not a chance in hell is anyone going to replicate the sound of the down picking king! Except Het! I love it! Brian, F*ck...

Ok, I dug up the email. the questions, and the answer! I knew it was a total long shot, but hey, you can't blame me for asking right? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On May 21, 2011, at 11:21 AM, Myownself26...

Might I add... Since seeing these pix, I don't feel so bad about having bad cable management in my rig! I was honestly surprised Kirk's rig is that messy! Justin Crew (Kirks Tech) must have his hands full or he has his own little routine on troubleshooting. :roll: Also, notice the addition of...

Here's a few High resolution pix I found on the web for us to munch on! Priceless Pix indeed!!!! James Rig: Kirks Rig:

NICE! thanks for the tip! What are your settings on the PS5? I used to own one briefly, never really had much use for it. Any pitch effects I use come from either my Whammy or G-major. I'd be interested in hearing what that sounds like. what a bunch of fanboy rig dorks we are... :lol:

Flextones? The Line 6 amps? I know James used his usual Mesa gear along with a Wizard Modern Classic with Wizard 4X12's on Garage Inc. I've read they experimented with Line 6 products as well, not sure what Line 6 stuff made it to record. nonetheless, Garage Inc has a great guitar tone! :mrgreen:

I know this is an older topic but nonetheless... tedsticle: I wonder why he uses Output A on one Triaxis, and the Effects Loop Send on the other Triaxis? James has 4 Triaxis Preamps. one for cleans and one for crunch. The other 2 are backups of each. Output A is Triaxis #1, this is for half...

A good friend/Co-worker of mine, modded my pedals for me. He used to work in Madison, WI at Smart Studios back in the late 80's early 90's with Butch Vig. He's modded pedals for Garbage, Billy Corgan, Kurt Cobain and Zakk Wylde. I believe these were the Mods he did for me: Ibanez TS9: Brown...

I'm running 2 Marshall 1960 4X12's. One for each rig. (above comment) about the Heavy. If you meant Heavy as in Crunch....YES!! :mrgreen: If you meant Heavy as in the **** weighs a ton....YES! I over did it for sure! I only run this rig in a bigger venue (more roomier stage) otherwise I only...

I'll answer in order. :lol: 1. Sound clip will come in due time. I'll have to get off my arse and record some clips. :roll: 2. We've played in IL a few times. We are from Wisconsin, we play around the state and MN. 3. I use the Whammy for The Memory Remains mainly, also the guitar solo in...

Hello ALL! Newer to the board! Thought I'd post my rig in the right spot....hopefully! :mrgreen: I'm one of two guitarists in a Metallica Tribute from the Midwest, Damage Inc. I've done some extensive research on James and Kirks past and present rigs. I've used those references as a template...
