Hello, good people. I was going to name this "Two Amps/One Cup," but decided against it. There are some things we can never unsee...
I thought I would update you guys on what looks to be a plateau of sorts in my search for rig-contentment.
Caveat: I currently play in a duo - with a well-heeled guitar player - so volume is rarely an issue.
As you can see in the photo from last week’s gig - (in the post below, with a hat-tip to Hawkeye)...
... I’m using a 1965 Kalamazoo Model II (here mic'd as a precaution) on one side of the stage, and a VHT Special 6 (with a 5751 tube) on the other side.
They are connected with a Radial BigShot ABY Switch, with has simple switches for lift and phase.
I use a Digitech RP350 with Richard Hunter’s patch-set for harp, which I’ve tweaked for my own uses.
I’ve gigged out with this new setup three times now, and, overall, I am really, really pleased with the sound, tone, and volume. I have the Zoo at Volume 7 and Tone at 8. That provides the crunch. I have the VHT running Clean, at Volume 7 and Tone 5. It provides a nice, stable bottom end.
When I use the effects, I’m told it sounds like the tone/sound is coming from somewhere in-between the two amps, which is where I’m standing as the Singer/Harp Player.
So, wanted to throw out my 2 cents - you guys have been very helpful to me!
Thanks -
Heath
