douglas blair signal2noise - the live gear (original) (raw)

After months of fitting, wiring, screwing, testing, tweaking, swearing, smashing and apologizing, the new GuitarCross rig consisting of many new Mesa-Boogie major components is up and rockin'! The Edens and G-Ks are on Ebay, and the volume level has doubled. Not to mention the prestige index...

The 6x10 bass cab and the M-Pulse bass head just CRUSH, and the tube power amp and 4x12 RoadKing cab make the clean and dirty guitar FAT and sizzlin'...and the shock-mount rack houses the guts in an impossibly unliftable array that'd make John Petrucci blush with delight.

With cord looms fore and aft, the idea is to be able to roll the pieces into place, take the covers off, make a minimum of connections, and be playing the GuitarCross in all its perverted glory within FIVE MINUTES. Likewise on teardown...five minutes and 'outta' there' for the next chumps to have their say!

Now it's time to roll this rig into the studio for some new tracks, then onto many a stage for some payin'-the-dues road wear! First, we'll take some pictures...
