The Gear I am Taking To Tomorrow's Show

[Jethro Rocker]

I neglected to do the obligatory shot of the fun gear I will use tomorrow so will have to do it singly....
A Steak n Lobster night in a hall in small town. Lots of time for setup, need to soundcheck before food sittings so will have hours to do lights. Kind of a long day with the 2 hr drive. Will hotel in town nearby.

Using the Mk V 35 stacked on single 1x12. Not using Triple Crown.
Purple Schecter's first show. Also first show for Godin LGSa.
Will see about video likely can't get camera out front safely...

Godin is for acoustic stuff which is rare. Neck a little thicker than I like thus the LP as well which I also ise for slide. Either is hood for detuning or drop D tuning. Will take pics of setup etc.

A 2016 Classic. Got it in 2017. Haven't used it out in a bit. Then later in spring will use the 76 wine red. Haven't gigged it yet.
The burst was used quite a bit at first.

I should add.
The Classic offered here was different from US and different from now.
Pearl trap tuning knobs, zebra 61T buckers, and modern speed knobs.
I believe they use nickel kodneys now, top hats amd have the extra electronics which my 2016 Goldtop Standard has.

For sure...

When our guitarist showed up with one of those E1's, in 2020, I didn't know they existed...

I think "Jethro Rocker" is forgetting something ...

UPDATE:
Show went well enough.
I had some tech issues.
Firstly, after 3 songs, silence from the Mk V 35.

Good thing for backups. Brought the lil Taurus stomp amp.

Worked great!
Set 3 suddenly, very bizarrely signal was clean only. No matter what channel.
Even when volumes put to ZERO. No difference to output. I do wonder if the fx loop has a fixed setting irrespective of the volume on that thing.
I am using 4 CM for the loop switcher I have so if one switch is off it is simply dry guitar direct to effects return. It did seem like that but switch was on. The OD pedal in front of amp worked.

So I just ditched the whole board and went cord to amp.
Voila.
Worked fine. Didn't even have a tuner at that point. Surprisingly it didn't really throw my game off, I just went with the flow and enjoyed.
Final set I put wireless and tuner in front and rocked it.

So the troubleshooting will begin. First I will see whether Mesa has pre or power amp issues. I will check all connections on pedal board, that one was really weird. Not sure what up there.

In any case, the main objective of update is a reminder to take backup and be prepared!! Any weird poop can happen!!
Pics forthwith. Couldn't set up a camera properly...

Maybe get 2 Taurus and leave the Mesa at home?

ANy Idea why it left you hanging??

Good thing you had the back up -- man that sucks but coulda been worse !!!
Good thinking on the "back up"!!

Havent got there yet. Will check pre n power sections first. Likely a tube.
It happens.
Anything can crap out.
I will be bringing the BluGuitar Amp 1 next time too!! Great little amp!
Always a backup. Always.
EDIT the other guitarist's old PV Bandit is his backup and started acting up. Time for something else there. I have onky used a backup twice since playing regularly 16 years ago.
