I noticed that too.He's got the Axe FX - I'm guessing that's where he's leaning?

My rig went from a 2x12 Fender Deville + 30"x15" pedal board to Axe Fx ultra.

I went from a Mesa Triple Rectifier, 4x12 Cab, and 3-5 pedals. To a Kemper and headphones or via my stereo. -------------------- Guitars:

and more importantly touring becomes a little less expensive with smaller rigs

Great topic!! I will be going to the G3 show here!
This is something that I have been thinking about... I like the idea of having only an Axe Ultra and a foot controller for Cirse's shows, and maybe using wireless monitoring to hear my guitar... however the type of shows that we have are very different, sometimes we play in great halls with really good audio systems but other times we play in small places with really bad audio system. -------------------- My lessons

Even if the house PA is complete crap, your stage volume isn't going to make it much past the 5th row of seats yes? But then if the place is really intimate/small, you might put only the vocals in the PA and let the amps fill the room with sound. So maybe carry one MESA cab and the AXE FX? You could decide whether to plug the cab in once you see the house PA. Even if you don't plug it in, it will look great and serve as a stand for your AXE FX Todd In this way I would also need a power amp, don't me? -------------------- My lessons

Thanks for the link... the question in my mind will be... Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier vs Axe Fx. You can always do like MARCUS and use both He posted in a thread a pic of his rig which is a Mesa Triple Recto and an axe fx. He said he sometimes uses both, recto for gain, axe fx for fx, but sometimes, he will just use the axe fx by itself if the traveling and or gig is better suited to a smaller load in/out. It's the perfect rig It's very close to John Petruccis G3 rig in fact. John is using a MESA triaxis preamp (a digitally controlled Mesa Recto Preamp) with an axe fx. James hetfield uses the Triaxis in his touring rack as well. http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Rac...is/triaxis.html In this way I would also need a power amp, don't me? No power amp required for running direct If you just come out of the AXE FX and go in to the Mixing Board/PA, you can skip the power amp entirely. The AXE FX does speaker/cabinet emulation so it can sound like a cabinet with a nice mic on it, even when it's running direct out. |

My 'club' rig is now an Axe FX Std, or Fender Blues Junior FSR with my pedalboard.
It depends on monitoring availbility) Axe FX is a really good thing! |

The golden rule of touring: keep it simple, the more stuff you carry around with you, the more things can go wrong. And as Murphy told us, all those things WILL go wrong at some point ^^ Funny to see Petruccis setup is pretty close to mine, just that for me it is Tripple Rectifier with Axe FX :-)
