Michael Romeos Gear

[AFoolsParadise]

I Apologise If This Has Been Posted. I Couldnt Find Anything In The Forum On Search.

I Saw Michael Romeo Today And His Rig Was Different Than Last Time.
Last Time I Recall A Vetta 1 & 2 Head.

Tonight he was using A ENGL
But I Was Curious What Rack Units He Had In His Arsenal.

One Of Them Looked Like A Powerramp Section ( Odd being his Head already had one ) and the other had blue lights, that would jump by everytime he played to the right. Almost like a Mixer.

Is there a topic that discusses all his gear down to the detail?

I saw them last night in Philly and his rig has surely changed. IMO his tone is MUCH better live now. He always is amazing live but his tone used to be hit or miss and sometimes I wouldn't be able to hear him(although I know this has a lot to do with the talent at the soundboard) but his Engl rig was thick full and just BALLS! I saw an Engl Powerball and an Engl Blackmore underneath it. I'm not what else was in there. It sounded excellent!

 

[Yellicky]

...check that...it could have been an Engl Fireball on the bottom instead of the Blackmore. The more I thik about it, it probably was.

 

[AFoolsParadise]

I Did Not See Any Other Amp.
But It If You Did.

Then Perhaps He Is Using A Channel Selector And Using Each Amp For Lead One For Rhythm. Or Using Both At The Same Time.

I Saw On The Rack. A Noisegate. And Next To It I Could Not Tell.
The Top Had What Looked Like A Clock.

But Under It Was The Unit I Speak Of With The Blue LED Lights.

He got a lot of new gear just before the Euro tour, so there isn't a place online where his current setup is laid out yet. We'll have it on the site when the new version is launched, & I'll try to get more info from him on it when I see them this weekend.

 

[EyeballKid]

I hope his new gear does not make him even louder...no offense. I love Romeo, but I wish I could hear Pinella more often.

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Yes, I did read on the Engl site that Romeo is an official endorser now. That rules - Engls sound great.

 

[ABQShredHead]

So I can anticipate a good selection of used Line 6 stuff at the music store when all the fanbois realize Romeo switched to Engl?

I think that has to do more with P being too low then Romeo being too loud.

Aside from the keyboard volume, I think their live mix is good.

You'll find it right next to all the used ESP M-II's.

 

[ABQShredHead]

Haha. I wouldn't mind finding some of those...

blue lights jumping to the right = rack tuner.

 

[AFoolsParadise]

Id think it as a rack tuner.

But during times he would tune his attention was focussed on the floor, to a pedal tuner, so it makes me believe that isnt right

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Built-in noise gate?

 

[AFoolsParadise]

Nope because he had a NS2 Aswell

 

[Meedleyx10]

He's using a G-system, so if he was looking down while tuning, odds are he was using that.

 

[AFoolsParadise]

It is very possible he was using a GMaj N GMin

But I did not see the actual rack unit on the rack at all. But there was a whammy effect heard, so there must be an expression pedal on the floor somewhere

 

[Meedleyx10]

He IS using the G-system, or at least was in some very recent tour pics. The G-System is a floorboard setup btw. It's got the option of taking the "guts" out and rackmounting them while using the floorboard as just a footcontroller, but it's primarily a floor-based system.

 

[AFoolsParadise]

I thought the GMaj Was a rack unit

 

[Meedleyx10]

The G-major is a rack unit, but I'm talking about the G-system
