It looks like I have a series of gigs coming up where I have to use the main act's guitar amp backline - either a Diesel, or a Triple Rectifier. Never played a Diesel, but I did play a TR once back in maybe 2000. So I picked the TR.
There's no soundcheck and it's pretty much "OK, we're on," plug in, do a mic check and go. For simplicity, I will run all effects including delay into the front of the amp. Monitor mixes worked out as we go, etc. We've all been there.
I have a MIAB on the pedalboard. I supposedly was in the TR's clean channel last night but it was still super gainy and the set was like driving a car at 100 MPH that you've never even been in before. High stage volume and a pretty large venue / metal crowd so loud in FOH too.
For anyone who knows the amp: Is there a way to get something like the clean channel of a JCM 800 MV Split Channel out of a TR? Think 2205/2210/4210/4211/4212.
I didn't recognize the cab, but it was 4x12 closed back and nothing I've seen in the Mesa or EVH catalog. Soundly vaguely like Celestion V30s but honestly I was dealing more with the amp so I can't be sure.
