For out of town up in the mountains out in the weather gigs I use the Headrush cabs.For closer to home high paying gigs I use QSC K10.2s or CP8s.Modelers are secondary for me and $2k powered speakers don’t sound half as good as my 1982 JCM 800 combo.So I use what I deem appropriate.The Headrush...

Going back and forth between my A6/M9 pairing and just putting a wah in front of it with the MBritt presets. I have been creating patches on these modelers live and in the studio for 30 years and the Atomic amp models are very good. Just missed an A12 yesterday.may grab a three button just to...

Tubes amps cranked up with distortion or OD pedals in front of them have squirrels too.I used my Atomic 6 button for teaching/ practicing all day at my studio then went to a rehearsal with my 1982 JCM800 50 watt combo with an SD-1 and Blues Driver in front of it.Real amps have squirrels too when...

Eric Johnson sold his Dumble amps because they were too loud lol!

I played original music and slept in my car for a while.Yeah great memories!

Lately I will play/sing My One And Only Love or A Change Is Gonna Come. It changes all the time but I have 500 plus songs in my head(book).The instructors I work with call me a walking encyclopedia of music lol!

I played the GTk at work yesterday for 45 minutes.Not the first time I played it.It is very very good and the size/build quality are of course beyond solid.I may have to pull the old trigger today!The gigs are coming back and small and EZ are the new normal!

I‘ve used Maltos/JBLs/ EVs/Bosies and Posies.My two QSC CP8s are very good and reasonably priced.Acoustic/Electric/etc...they sound great.Very small and lightweight .Tough to beat.Modelers and power amp cabs I’ve tried but don’t get?My amps sound better than that setup.IMHO/TTFN/YMMV...

Nothing at all wrong with Headrush or Atomic. Failure rates? No one here really knows what those are.The constant update/free stuff /instant gratification minded group of consumers drive modeler sales.Simple as that.My Headrush Gigboard sounds/works great.My atomic units do too.I sold my Stomp...

I gigged the hell out of my AFB Firebox until Covid.I am getting my Atomic 6 button ready for the gigging that is starting next week.It’s a fantastic unit with a great editor.I will pair it with an M9/Zoom 50g etc...for effects.The company is small and has a low profile but the products are...

I will be 60 in September. In 2019 I played over 220 gigs.I can still play and sing circles around the younger musicians here.I am also a full time instructor.Music is a lifetime learning growing experience for me.But you must have thick skin/real chops and desire to do it after 50.I like to...

YouTube careers? Lol! No serious musician I’ve ever met makes gear decisions from watching YouTube. Great Thread please keep it going and influencing etc...!

The CPs are excellent I have two CP8s.The K series are great I have 2 K10.2s but they are for full PA use.The CP8 is a killer value priced speaker for modelers.Can’t go wrong with them.

I grabbed a vintage look older model on FB Marketplace for $250.It kills with my Thin Lizzy Tribute band.With my Les Paul Tribute it’s almost as good as my 1982 JCM800 model 4010.
