Rig Rundown

[Chudallica]

Hi, I'm Richard (Chud)

 

I've been playing the guitar on and off since I was 13, I'm now 50 and forever looking for better sounds and tones.

 

My biggest music influence over the years has been Metallica, I first heard Orion back in '87 and I had to know who was playing it and have been a massive fan of them since.

 

Rig Rundown:

 

Amp - Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier.

Cabinet - Marshall MX212R  2x12" Celestion Seventy 80's.

Guitar - ESP KH-2 (Customised EMG Solderless System running EMG Bone Breaker Pick-ups with a 24v Mod).

 

Pedals:

 

Acoustic Simulator - Boss AC-2

Amp Modeler - Joyo California

Chorus - MXR Analog Chorus

Compressor - MXR Dyna Comp

Delay - VOX Satriani Time Machine

Looper - TC Electronic Ditto

Noise Gate - MXR Noise Clamp

Tube Screamer - Ibanez TS Mini

Tuner - Korg Pitch Black

 

 

Pedal order from the effects loop on my amp:

 

Amp Loop Send - Tuner - Noise Gate - Compressor - Tube Screamer - Amp Modeler - Acoustic Simulator - Chorus - Delay - Looper - Amp Loop Return

 

Guitar plugs direct in to the amp.

Great intro there, complete with gear photo too; just the ticket. It’s not super busy here, but then it doesn’t take hours out of your day catching up with all the updates, but we’re always willing to throw our collective weight behind any questions, guitar related or otherwise. Many of us are also bass players and contribute to BassChat, where it’s a lot busier, but we come here to chill and talk about the 6 stringed thing without the gentle ribbing we receive there (all very good natured though, they’re a nice bunch).

Rig Rundown:

...

Amp Modeler - Joyo California

 

How are you finding the California, I have a full Mesa set up now and the California sounded pretty dark even after I dialled back the bass.  Did you find a way to brighten it up?

[Chudallica]

Hey Kiwi,  I found the California to be a great pedal which added a lot of depth to the high gain mesa head, but I did find that on the base adjustment seemed to suddenly jump, I tried it right down with the base up on the head unit and mainly use it to add a smother mid tone instead for lead work.

 

I used to had a Hammett signature Randall amp which it worked really well with that !

 

recently I have moved away from physical pedals and been playing with a digital sims at home just for something different, but you can't beat proper pedals !!
