I've got a slightly less hi-fi set up, along the lines of: Sennheiser Freeport Wireless Gemini Power Conditioner (with funky rack lights, oh yeeeah!) Korg DTR-1000 Tuner Ampeg SVT3-Pro It's simple, but it does the job!! Oh, and it's bloody full of cable ties.... I like a nice tidy rack, I do!

Jamesemt Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 We need some pictures, guys!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GremlinAndy Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Lol it makes me chortle that the pics seem so important especially since there are stock photos of the gear much prettier than I can snap in my home... Is it that we like the "hot amature action" shots? Maybe you're fans of "Gonzo" Gear? I hope to God that no-one is actually using bass gear for mastabatory purposes! Because it chafes like hell, let me tell you! So take my advice and save yourself the pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elegant solution. That's the problem with mine now... It's already an ungainly 6u and I'm struggling to stop it from growing. There's a lot to be said for the "simple" uncomplicated solution. That's the trouble with rack gear. There's always one more piece you could slot in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Sorry to be a pedant, but "what is understood doesn't need to be discussed". That sir, is a superb rack. End of. (/misogyny) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[attachment=6141:DSCF0044.JPG][/quote] I remember when those Compressors came out in the 90's, can't remember who it was who made them though. I suspect you need those sunglasses on the couch when looking at that rack on a brightly lit stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Nothing much in the way of FX in my rack these days, apart from the Funk-Logic Dynamicator [attachment=69516:rig3.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Right now my rig is pretty simple Sennheiser FREEPort wireless (£50 to anyone who wants it) Trace Elliot GP12SMX amplifier Korg DTR2000 rack tuner all of this in a nice 4u abs rack case which I need to ship off as I am getting a few new units soon. As on the start of next month my set up will be: Korg DTR2000 Trace Elliot GP12 SMX Aphex Aural Exciter (on it's way to me) Behringer T1965 Compressor (being held for me) Some sort of graphic equaliser (not yet decided) New wireless system (not yet decided) But for now, here's a pic of the current rig: [attachment=69517:IMG_2543__2_.jpg] Nom nom nom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 LH1000 and dBx 1066 compressor. Occasionally an MXR 124 graphic EQ, but i've been on a gear diet lately due to a touch of sciatica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
