Thought we'd be close to page 4 after I took my little break.
Ever the optimist.
If I were a betting man, I'd say we won't reach Page 4 at all today.
I am a betting man...and I say we do.
Here, I'll help. This is the latest evolutionary step of the new guitar rig.
Looks fancy enough, that's for sure.
It repurposes old gear that is just sitting to build a rig around a new preamp I bought. I don't sell gear, because whenever I do, something comes up where I need it and then it costs more to get.
Repurposing parts to repair other gear, I like it.
As a guitarist, I function more like a studio musician than a performing artist. My projects usually require specific gear choices. Playing with a classic rock cover band demands different types of amplifiers and effects processing than playing with a modern hard-rock band writing original songs. Playing worship music from traditional to modern in a church is another set of considerations altogether. As all of these evolve gear gets swapped out or upgraded. Some pieces work across contexts, other pieces go into the studio, or they go on the shelf. In this case, I found a modular preamp and amplifier for a very good price which I knew would be a good fit for the hard-rock band. But it needed power-conditioning, effects processing, and speakers. So stuff got pulled off the shelf, pulled out of storage, tuned up, wired together, and dialed in to function as a system.
