Trust me, Roope never used Active Pickups, the active electronics is the gain boost.
Had to wait about 3 Month to get it... I love that guitar
Good guitar for the price..... I love my MH-1000!!!!!

Depends on what sort of event.
For my graduation ball I played with my Digitech 2101 (direct out with speaker simulation to board) and used my Randall RH100 as a poweramp in a cheapo 2x12 as monitor.
The PA was a piece of shit and most of the people there had almost no idea about sound so it wasn't a problem.
If I am using a wahwah I like my crybaby but I want to buy another one (not sure, Dimebag or Slash Wah would be nice) because the main reason I used the Crybaby was because I got it new for 25 Euros and I needed a wah.
If it's about a good metalsound I would have used my Digitech2101 into my Engl Poweramp and than my 4x12, fx from the 2101, not gigging anymore as a metal guitarist but I need to setup everything for our guitar player because he has no idea about amps and fx, he only owns a marshall mg50 combo and plays through the patches I created for his pod xt.
For bass I would go Bass--Sansamp--FOH.

ESP 607 0r 607B-->Analogman Modded TS9-->Morley Dual Bass Wah-->ISP Decimator-->Rackmount Rectifier-->Replifex in the loop for my clean tone-->Rectifier cab.
I could shoot myself, I had a Mesa Traditional cab that was built as a road case, not in a road case and I sold it for dirt cheap yers agow when I got the Recto cab. Doh.
Soon to be running that same set up but adding a Boogie .50 Caliber or my 5150 into a Marshall cab.
Not sure whether I'll us a Radial or Voodoo Labs pedal to split the signal.
I'm just starting to fuck with the wah but I like how smooth the Morley is. I use it more as a weapon on rhythms rather than as something to add flavor to solos.

Touche. :Smug:
I've never seen a RSP 2400 so I wouldn't know.
I'm just going off what the article says. I'll be doing a lot of experimenting so I'll post clips and shit.

Any one of these amps depending which band it is.
The 50 Top Evolution head is basically the same amp as a Cornford MK, same designer, British made, hand wired etc. 2 channel, dual master volumes for boost and a gain boost which I never use. It sounds much better without the gain boost, just use the TS808 for leads. The gain boost makes it harsh. Series/Paralel fx loop, triode/pentode switch. We had a couple of Cornfords in the shop a couple of years ago, side by side the 50 Top and the MK50 are almost indetical on the gain channels. The 50 Top has the added bonus of a clean channel. Its a very British "plexi" sounding clean. It would benifit from the addition of a presence control, but the BBE takes care of that. And at £900, its almost £600 cheaper than the MK.
rack tuner, alesis delay, boss rack chorus, BBE maximiser.
Pedal board is very simple. TS808, Tremonti wah, amp channel switcher, switches for delay and chorus
Depending on the band situ, I have a pair of 1960's, one with G12 75's, the other with V30's, and a MF400 slant cab. I prefer the MF400 cab, bigger cab and better low end response.
Guitars are usually Les pauls with EMG's.

for 4-5 years i've had an ampeg vl-1002/marshall 1/2 stack, but am selling that since i have the krank...then i plan on adding a 5150 combo and A/B/Y'ing to both amps, and adding probably a noise suppressor and delay when i get around to playing live again
