Long time lurker, been a member here for quite a while, but don't post much at all....Just thought I'd share some pics of my little recording setup with you guys, I really envy all you that can use a 50/100w amp for recording at home, just not an option for me, so I bought these (I've had all this for a while now):
Egnater Tweaker 15w head & Randall 1x12 Greenback cab (Boss SD-1 on top of the amp):
Marshall DSL-1 H & Orange PPC112 (V30):
Ibanez RG350DX (upgraded the bridge p'up to a Duncan Custom Custom...pic was taken before I changed the p'up btw..):
Built a home-made ISO cab & have this speaker in currently (I can change speakers in about 4-5 mins, used wing-nuts to mount the speaker):
Here's a shot of my desk & guitars:
I'm using NOS glass/tubes in both my amps, to be honest, it doesn't make a huge difference with the DSL (seems to smooth out the high end more than anything, & gives me a little more breakup when the volume is cranked), but the T15 is amazing with Mullard (V1), RCA (V2), Sylvania (V3), & a set of Russian 6P3S power tubes...
The ISO cab I built works pretty good, but I usually only use it late at night to be honest. I can dime either amp, & it sounds like a tv coming from my music room....While I can get pretty decent tones from my ampsims (in my opinion anyway), using real amps/speakers/mics sound much better (to me anyway)....
I don't play/record really heavy stuff like a lot of you guys do, I'm more into the 70's-80's sound wise, so these 2 amps do a good job for me....
Cool thread, & there is some really nice gear that you guys have, gives me GAS....
