I will take some decent pics when i get some time,hopefully everyone will still appreciate them.I am pretty proud of my rig and alot of it has served me well over the years with many gigs. I dont baby my rig,its definately a players rig but i try to look after my stuff as best as possible. I dont think gear is made to look pretty and never be used. Of course it will keep evolving... enjoy

i have the same amp set up just with the stiletto 2x12 cab, and i am not gonna lie, its pretty brutal.
to me it sounds better than the mesa rec. I played this one show with a guy who was using the rec half stack and my setup actually blew his away.
i was pretty stoked

CDee

Nice gear man! That Strat is beautiful!

Yip the strat is definately my number one ?

@zw44- interesting that you go for the stilletto cab. i actually ordered the 4x12 recto cab but when they arrived i prefered the sound of the 2x12 abit more punchy.

Nice rig! Kick ass head you got there!

i originally wanted the rec 2x12 but marshall didnt have them in stock and the next order was going to be a while and something like R2500 more.
So i played the 6505 through the stiletto and it sounded very cool, so i took it

HEHE well what i do with the strat is a SRV type sound so i use the strat and the maxon,route 66(comp side) and wah wah. into the peavey classic 30 AND then disconnect the speaker and use the MESA 2x12, then its ridiculously HUGE sounding

Nice set-up, looks like you can get a lot of sounds out of it. ?

thanks and YES i CAN! LOL. Since leaving my band where the 6505+ and mesa was all i needed. I have aquired ALOT of gear as my musical taiste various SO MUCH! i love blues (think SRV/hendrix vibes) and i love METAL (killswitch/bullet/as i lay dying type stuff) and i love the "inbetween stuff" like MUSE/AFI/RATM. so yeh i demand alot of tones from my rig. still wanna ADD a few distortion stomps for the classic 30.

Does your RG have humbucker splitting option? (push pull on the tone pot)

bet u could get sum interesting tones with them duncans,

not that you need it, you got USA Strat ,

just curious though

HAHA! nah i use that comp on that pedal alot. Give dave a call,tell him donovan said he might sell his 0727689494 (if he still has it)

MIKA-the-better-one

Ha, I am a sucker for the 70's headstock on a strat. It just looks so cool. Curious how does your whammy sound in that pedal placement, cuz it looks like its in the missle of you setup, I thought they were best at the start? I could be wrong?
