This is a duplicate post from the Rack pages. I know, I'm sorry, I just want to make sure I can get the most people read this and get some responces!
Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum and could use some help. For years I have been playing Road Kings, with outboard stomp-box effects and love it! But...I'm getting pretty tired of all that extra setup for my effects, footswitch, loops, cables, power.....all that extra crap I need to set up every night. For quite some time I have been looking at doing something to consolidate/cleanup my rig, and doing some rack stuff. I have had in mind a Triaxis/2:90 combo...but unsure what to do for effects and switching. I recently ordered (haven't gotten it yet), a TC Electronic G-System so I have some effects, with option for my stomp box effects, a foot controller, and something that can do channel switching all in one. The more I look up the G-System and setups the more anxious I get to actually get and play with the unit.
But now I'm having problems with amps. Do I keep my Road King head (series 1), buy an RJM Music Amp Gizmo to do MIDI channel switching, throw the G-System in a rack with my wireless and some other stuff, and still have to run cables back and forth between my "amp" and my effects, input, output, loops, channel switching so forth? Or do I bite the bullet and buy a Triaxis/2:90 (probably going to have to find something used $$$), have everything already mounted and connected into a rack, and just simply plug in the G-System foot controller, my guitar input, and speaker cab cable? I definatley like the "clean" setup of the Triaxis option, but is the money worth it?
From everything I find the Triaxis/2:90 and the Road King are both excellent amps. I can't go "wrong" either way. I have 2 Road Kings (head, 2x12 combo), but no where around me to check out a Triaxis/2:90. Maybe you guys with some real world experience can help shed some light on the subject.
As far as styles of music that I play; I'm in a cover band and do a wide variety of things: modern country, a few old country tunes, lot of 80's/90's pop stuff, some modern rock, classic rock, even some hip-hoppish stuff.
Thanks in advance!
