Show your Rig

One hell of a mess at the moment as I’m trying to figure out I want to arrange my board. I have a couple preamp pedals that I want to go straight into the power amp of the Bad Cat for very different tonal options. One being a Diezel VH-4. But it’s currently set up to run stereo with the muff, out of pic, delay and RT-20 so I can get my comfortably numb on lol. The two amps pair surprisingly well together and the 68 custom is perfect for tube rolling.

Couple more toys taken at various times obviously.

Someone also has an NOS tube problem.......:LOL:
It’s a burden and completely ridiculous but when you finally find out who’s legit on the market and can get an Amperex, Tungsram, etc..that tests new or nos for the price of a new production tube it’s hard to pass up! I’ve been fortunate but have a some duds along the way lol. I’ll probably have to start selling off some soon. They’ll all be provided with test results from TubeDepot as they aren’t but 30 minutes from me and I get them tested theres.

As for the strats, yea there’s 2 or 3 not even on the rack. Thinking about selling a few of those off soon as well just to branch out. I went from the late 90s to 2025 before even owning a humbucker much less an lp style guitar. I own one Epi LP now and have a dual HB Schecter on layaway at the local music store. So change is happening lol.
 
My rig....this is going to take more than one pic heh......

This my corner of the office I share with my wife. The floor rack is where I keep the "selection of the day" to play.

The "Strat Rack"

The "Tele Rack" (not counting what's still in the closet). The Burgundy Mist tele at the end is a baritone.

The "Short Scale" rack...(with short scale Mustang bass at the end)

My "amps". Which is currently the "Friedman IR-D" tube preamp and a SushiBox FX "Particle Accelerator" tube preamp that goes into the power amp section of my Frenzel. Currently running 6L6's. But I can run pretty much any octal except 6V6. I'm considering putting some KT66's in it next. Oh I also use a SushiBox FX "Bassdude" tube preamp sometimes as well. The BassDude is based on the 5B6 Tweed Bassman. (Not pictured) I use the Friedman for all my Marshally tones and the Particle Accelerator is one of the BEST Blackface Fender cleans I've heard short of a real Fender BF Dual Showman. (Which is what the Particle Accelerator is based on). And the BassDude for Tweed clean and grit.
All of which goes into my Torpedo from the Frenzel then into my interface. I play with headphones or through my Kali monitors.

All the pedals on the racks below the amps is pretty much all my time based effects sitting in my effects loop. That light blue one with the 9 knobs is the Equilux Mini. It's the last pedal before the signal hits the amps. Just an incredibly good sounding EQ pedal. Currently I've got 5 delay pedals, 3 Choruses, 2 phasers, 2 flangers, a tremolo, reverb and the last pedal in the effects loop is a Clandestine Preamp running at unity gain.

I often get asked, "What's your goto overdrive these days.....welllllp......kinda all of these......

And of course first in the chain after the PPCB 3 Ch Splitter are my current faves of compression. They all sound different and do different things but I always have one on.

And this is what I've been messing with today, getting the Revv Noise Gate pedal integrated with the 4 cable method into my rig.
Very promising results so far.
