Bulb, I believe he got the Nobels ALEX-1 - it's about €45 last time I checked. That's the one him and I talked about before, at least.


Honestly - I found two ways of doing my live cleans with the 5150. I did the first for a bit... run your guitar into a splitter, one end into the OD/amp or whatever, the other end into a POD. POD into FX loop in, and plug one end of a cable into the FX out (leave the other end unplugged). With this, I could then hit the fx loop on/off to switch between the POD preamp and 5150 poweramp or the 5150 straight. This, however, voids you of an FX loop on the dirty channel - I didn't mind, but I'm sure you would.

The other way, and the way I'll definitely be doing it once I get back going live, is a GT-6 in the 4-cable method.

I love the idea of going 4 cable method but is there a reasonably priced current multieffects floorboard with more than 1 relay for controlling an amp?

My Engl screamer really needs 2 relays for switching between the 4 "channels"

It's not a pedal - it's a Nobels Alex-1. They turn up on eBay fairly often for reasonable prices - I think I paid $25 for mine - and I already had an open relay in my Axess CFX-4 to control it with.

As for cleans, my Triple gets me more than good enough tones for live use. In the studio, I can set it however I want to get a good clean tone - or just borrow a twin.

Most guys who are real sticklers use two amps, but let's be real - I play clean for make two minutes during a Division set. That hardly makes carrying two amps worth it.

Correct.

Isn't that basicly the In Flames setup?

I run the JC120 model on my GT8 for all my cleans.

damn, its doesnt have a 13 pin midi out tho, are you guys aware of any loopers that are midi capable other than a lehle d loop?

Jerich, are you kidding me?!?

You have a TriAmp! That clean channel is fucking amazing! Sparkle and smooth like no other. And it's non-master volume so it doesn't break up no matter how hard we push it.

Agreed 100%. The Roland Jazz Chorus will always be the ultimate clean sound to me. I have always loved the pristine clean sound of a totally solid state amp. I'm just not trying to drag an army of gear on stage, since opening for national acts doesn't give me a lot of room.

This is the only thing I miss about my Line6 gear. The cleans just sounded so much better to me.

Only if I had the money. I've wanted one for years, but could never justify the cost for the little amount I would use it.

Yeah, I know. It doesn't have to be perfect, since it hardly gets used. I'm just anal. Plus, my rig is so simple now, and I have nothing to play with. I have this itch to buy shit and shove into my rack, because I'm a guitarist, it's what I do. I looked at Roger's rack, and got jealous, because I want more blinky things.

Apparently my plan has worked... Muahahahahahaha

Ever think about getting a MIDI switcher and just running a direct signal into a SS poweramp without a preamp?

Mmmm blinken lights. You know Noodles we could make you a faceplate filled with leds that just blink randomly

Though a Tri/G-Force/2:90 is a hella rack setup
