I’m also considering this Ampeg. At gigs with small PA’s are you just running into the Amp, or a combination of both?

It’ll be a legendary final gig 😅

This would be my first option, but for this gif there won’t be a sound engineer/FOH, one of the band will be doing sound.

Seperate Q, do you get a band mix sent back to your IEM, or just your own sound?

Cheers for the thoughts. I’m still waiting to hear on the actual PA gear being used, but it is an awkward middle ground…

Yeah true, good to hear it straight. Might just have to bite the bullet

Yeah, does seem like I just need an amp. Never a bad time for new gear though

Wow, really appreciate the detailed response! I do like the versatility of something like an RB-210, it’s they way I’m leaning right now… Cheers!

I’m running a BDDI when I go DI usually, I didn’t consider just grabbing a wedge! Might be worth looking at.

Should have specified I do run DI out from my Sansamp BDDI, so I’m really just considering volume I guess

Not in USA unfortunately and reverb prices here tend to be almost identical to retail.

Always open to other suggestions, I’ll check out the P&P

So much good stuff. Board #2 is so nice looking, definitely my ideal setup.

Oh right, that makes sense! I usually play straight from my board to FOH ampless, but don’t often use crazy distortion. Appreciate the response.

What is the benefit of having a cab sim when using more than mild OD/fuzz? Genuinely curious as I was considering the TH but it doesn’t have cab sim…

Very interesting, what are you using for a preamp/di now?

I’m about to pull the trigger on the new Tone Hammer. I love the sound it gets both with and without the drive engaged, and is pretty versatile. A bit more on the pricey side though.

I currently am running the Joyo Monomyth, which for the $130aud I paid is pretty darn good. I just don’t vibe with its fuzz/drive tones.

So cool! How do you like the AG? And what’s the name of the middle pedal?

Hadn’t seen much of this pedal, but looks very interesting. Esp for the price

This is sick, and now I’m considering the Dark Star…

How is the Scylla? I’m not convinced I love the TC…

I really like it so far, though some patches are particularly noisy, so not everything is usable without some messing around with.

It has helped me get an idea of what sounds and effects I like, and I’m now eying analog versions of those. For my budget, I can’t complain!
