My setup looks kind of simple compared to many on here.....

Recently I've been using:

Desert Rose dual pickup S10 5X5
Hilton volume pedal
Line 6 Echo Park

into usually a
THD BiValve Combo with 1X12" THD speaker
but sometimes a
66 Fender Showman
1X12" open back cab with a JBL D-120

Sometimes I use a Roland V-Wah.
I used to use a Line 6 Verbzilla occasionally, but I gave it to my wife.

Wow--a resurrected thread! Yea, let's keep it going, this one goes back aways.

***I play an:
Emmons push-pull D10 8x4 through a Goodrich 120 pedal to a '68 Fender Twin Reverb with stock blue label Fender Speakers. It sounds fine! This is how a like to gig.***

***However, under certain conditions I will use:
a Roland tape echo as an alternative to the amp reverb,
an EMCI D10 8x5 instead of the Emmons,
a Magnatone M15 amp with a 15" Jensen instead of the Fender Twin Reverb,
and I may add my guitar pedalboard which has an:
MXR preamp, MXR envelope filter, MXR compressor, MXR distortion, DOD chorus, DOD phasor, Ibanez analog delay, Akai HeadRush digital delay looper.

The Emmons--Goodrich 120--Twin Reverb sounds best

Hope y'all had a happy 4th and are enjoying your weekend.

Cheers!

[Ulf Edlund]

Justin,
It's the blue Herco that ruins it for you.
Switch to a red thumbpick of any kind and you'll be at the the end of the song before the rest of the band reaches second verse

[Jim Lindsey (Louisiana)]

My current (and only) rig consists of:

1984 Mullen D-10 with 8 & 7 (Dual Bill Lawrence 705 pickups each neck) --- Serial Number 2033, previously thought to be a 1983 model --- and, because I have Precursor To Migraine Syndrome and they are the most comfortable fret boards to my eyes, my Mullen is equipped with Emmons fret boards.



Two Peavey Nashville 400 Amps (with a Session 500 in reserve)





My effects rack consists of:
Peavey ProFex II
Yamaha R-1000 Digital Reverb
Ross Time Machine Digital Delay
BBE Sonic Maximizer 422A
ProCo RAT R2DU Dual Distortion
Korg DT-1 Pro Tuner (Rack Mounted)
Furman PL-8 Power Bay

I run first into the tuner and ProCo RAT before splitting my guitar's line into the Profex II, which I run into the rear preamp inputs of my Nashville amps, and the remainder of the effects run into the front side of the amps in Input 2 of each.

Goodrich Match-Bro by Buddy Emmons --- BJS Steel Bar (Dunlop Finger Picks / Golden Gate Thumb Picks)

My pack seat is an old beat up Mark IV Sound Int. Pro Sidekick ... that poor seat has been through a lot and is really looking bad these days, but it still sits me solidly, so I haven't thought of replacing it.
