Your Usual Bandstand Set-up

Frank Parish · Post by **Frank Parish** » 19 Apr 2002 3:39 pm

I guess this is open to everyone. So what's your usual bandstand set-up in detail? How many and what kind of amps, guitars, dobro, pedal or non-pedal guitars do you use?
I'm currently working bars or clubs and use 2 mid 70's Sessions 400's, Trantubefex, 71 Emmons P/P 9/6, Hilton volume pedal, Steelers Choice pac-a-seat, 62 Fender Stringmaster with an 82 Evans FET 500 amp with the old Fender Tone/Volume pedal and a Marrs Cat-Can guitar.

Just lately, I've been using this with a pair of 115e cabinets.
Oh yeah, I do bring one of my steels and a pac-a-seat. I can load in and set up my steel and this rig in less than 10 minutes. Works for me. For what I get paid, I would really resist carrying any more equipment.

Kenny,
It's a sit-down gig or it would be a lot less believe me.

I prefer stage right, and then just the steel, volume pedal, and an amp. I can wail with the best of the rockers by adding just a fuzz and a phase-shifter, but still prefer the pure, clean sounds.

ShoBud ProII, SF Fender Twin, Goodrich volume pedal, Boss pedalboard containing (currently) power supply, Compression sustainer, Overdrive, Digital Delay and Danelectro Daddy-O (planning to add TC phaser as soon as I´ll find an adapter for the power supply), and a drum stool (no pac-a-seat, thanks)

IF I was to get to play a gig, it would be my Carter, Nashville 400, Rat, Goodrich volume pedal, Matchbro, pak-a-seat etc. Maybe my Digitech S-200 effects unit.

I almost never take more than one guitar. The amplifier I use depends on the band, mostly. For country I bring the Webb, for country-rock or blues it's the Boogie, and I haul the rack and speakers for rock gigs.

For several years I used two Vegas 400s, profexII in stereo to 1st channel in each amp, goodrich pedal & Emmons PP D-10s. In Channel two of each amp I use a Digitech RP-1 in stereo & a Peavey Generation tele copy. This way I can double on 6 string just by turning up the volume on the 6 string guitar - no a-b switch or anything to mess with.

Last year the main band I play with bought a tour bus...so to downsize I racked a profexII, Peavey Linemix 8 Mixer, DPC 750...hooked up to two very small Walker 15" cabs w/Peavy 1501-4SB Speakers. This system works just like the one above, it just took up less room in the bus.

I still use the Vegas 400s setup at a house gig here in Urbana.

I have tried to get away from the stereo thing, but every time I play with one amp I wish I had brought the other one! I guess it makes me "think" I sound better, so maybe I might try and play a little better that way....

However, very soon my wife and I are going into semi-retirement....we have a new baby on the way due in August - just in time for the Steel Convention! (start em off right!)

We are very excited!

Goodrich 7A
Hilton Pedal
Evans Custon SE150
That about covers any medium to small venue. If out doors, I bring along my Nash 400 and use it's 200 watts for a power amp.
Some gigs, I bring an acoustic 6 or 12 string and run it D.I. to the board or A/B to my amp.

Glenn Suchan · Post by **Glenn Suchan** » 22 Apr 2002 12:41 pm

Guitar: 1983 Sierra S14 with 8p/7k

Rack: Evans model ESPA preamp; Lexicon MPX100 effects unit

Periferals: Goodrich 120 volume pedal; Shure PSM 400 personal ear monitor

I don't use a combo amp on stage anymore. My rack goes out to a snake via a D-box. The snake has a splitter to the house snake and the ear-monitor mixing board. Recently, I have also stopped using my Jordan Electronics BossTone and my MXR Envelope Filter. NO, I don't want to sell them...this might only a phase I'm goin' thru.

Keep on pickin'!
