Vid of Trey talking about his rig

[Heady Jam Fan]

I max my hump on the 400 and 800 Hz sliders.  What about you?

I have those two sliders set between 0 and +9 db.

200 and 1.6k sliders are at unity (0db).

100 and 3.2k sliders are at -9db.

These aren't set in stone, but sounded golden last night - even with my volume maxed going into the lower-gain TS9, my leads sounded so clear it could be mistaken for clean. It worked great for something like the lead/solo from Dirt, I was also playing Allman Bro's Jessica and it sounded pretty sweet.

On my Mesa I have the 80hz slider just bellow the unity line, 240hz and 2200hz just above the unity line, 750hz about 80% of the way maxed and the 6600hz slider about 25% of the way up.

I think some of us here should make our own videos of our own rig to share with the group.

I might just do that.

[Happyorange27]

Cool. I surely will.

That sounds like fun!

Agreed!  Awesome idea...  Unfortunately I don't think I have too much to share, I'm pretty bare bones these days, just my 71 Twin, a ts9 and cs9....  I took out my BF2 and envelope filter and delays.   Just use amp vibrato and reverb...   I think as I get older, I find that less is more..  either that or I'm just getting lazier and more forgetful.

Since I'm stupid, its best for me to keep it simple, there's a lot less crying and law enforcement involved.  Purely stated:   I'm a lucky idiot. 

But I'd LOVE to see what you guys have and your tricks...  Its so fascinating to see what people can create with what they have.  I have to say, for the short time that I've been on here, I'm blown away by some of the talent, insight, ideas and personalities I've been fortunate enough to have been introduced to.  You guys are real supportive, and it drives me to get better and keep working harder to be the best Stecks I can be...  I don't know if I have developed my A game yet or if I ever will, but I know its at least theoretically possible.

Keep rockin' guys!

I did it!  Part one at least.

So Trey uses Celestian G12-80 Classic lead speakers right?  Anyone agree? Anyone have one or used one?

It kinda looked like that's what it was.

They're Celestion Vintage 30's. That's what I see in the video; not the "vintage 30" logo but everything that's actually visible matches up (the color, position of logos "G12" and "Celestion," etc.). And Paul told me that's what they loaded those cabs with originally.

Did anyone mention that in the video (part 1) you can see that the top speaker in his main cabinet is a Celestion G12?  Sorry if it was already mentioned, I am lazy today and didn't feel like sifting through the 6 pages here.  Right at the 5:01 mark.

I mentioned it but someone told me I was wrong.

G12, but not classic lead 80's - V30's

Definitely not 80's - look at pics of the front of the Languedoc cabs - the speakers have the smaller size dust caps.

So riddle me this: how does he get away using a 30W speaker in a 60W amp? (He has his MKIII on half power)

[Heady Jam Fan]

4 speakers (2x212) x 30w would be 120w power handling, which is the conservative ideal for a 60w amp.

However, V30's are, confusingly, not 30W, but rather 60W if Chinese or 75W if they are UK made for Mesa.

So his 2 Languedoc cabs could handle 240-300W depending on which version of the V30 he is using.

Also, his MV isn't cranked either.

I'd been using a tiny solid state amp for the last 2 months and finally moved to a new place where the whole setup can be used again easily. Theres been some minor changes to the rig and a couple major ones. It should be a fun video to make. Updated the sig now

Hey the videos at the beginning of this thread are missing!  Anyone have a copy?
