New Rack setup... configuration madness

[rdomain]

Here's a pic of my new rack setup. The new items are the Mesa Rectifier Preamp and the Marshall EL34 100/100 power amp. I think I'm happy with how I've configured the signal flow :?
All this connects to a Mesa Rectifier Quadbox.

I'll be jamming tomorrow night for the first time with this new setup. I'm hoping it's going to sound great. I've definitely noticed the increased dynamics available with the Mesa Pre and Marshall amp!

Oh, and on the floor I have the option of running the Roland VG88 floor unit but I've left this out of the equation for now so I can suss the 'pure tone' available before any more modifiers and options are added.

hehe.... the line 6 is pretty decent for filtered sounds and some synth type undertones.
The unit at the top of my rack is an Electrix Repeater. It's a 4 track looping device. I would never part with that!! I love my looping 8)

please rectifier and marshall in , everything else out Embarassed

You're subtle aren't ya sombra :lol: The Repeater will always be in my rack and the 2101 really is an amazing piece of hardware. Great delays and reverbs! ... I've had it over 10 years and it's still going strong even after being bent from my whole rack rig falling on it's face from a meter up with a cable in it!! Unlike this Mesa thing :roll:

 

[sombra]

subtle !?
no im just kidding.
I hate gsp 2101 ,if you like its delays and reverbs so buy an xpression,it will kill your gsp.Plus 1 rack space free.

From memory the xpression only had 2 or so seconds of delay and the routing options aren't as powerful as the 2101. I've set it up so it totally bypasses the analogue preamp section and straight to the digital fx after the signal has been though the Mesa preamp.

 

[sombra]

you need more than 2 seconds of delay ?!!!
What time is your song 20 bpms huahuauhauhaahauhauua
I really hate gsp to my ears all efects are esterile,dead without punch.
The clarity and punch of the xpression kicks my stomach.
The chorus is priceless,the most beautiful chorus I ve ever heard.
For 290 bucks it is unbeatible :shock:
