WARNING: pic laden post ahead. Good practice last night....

= tonal nirvana!

Seriously - had the best practice last night. All I brought were the items above and my wireless and this:

No pedal board. No delay. No OD. No boost. Not even a tuner!

I had the best practice I've had in months last night with this simple rig. It probably helped that we had a week off - during which time our new drummer did some serious wood shedding on the songs and we've finally gotten to a place with him where we can go out and gig. Anyways = just a slammin' session last night - it was sorely needed. I'd been wondering where this was all headed and kind of getting down on the band - but last night it all came together. It giggin' time!!!!!

FWIW - the RV50 sounded just awesome last night (it usually does, :wink: ). Both channels were sounding very good. I got to play with the volume on the both channels at around 12:00 while the gain on the dirt went between 12:00 and 4:00. It was total tone domination. I rule! :twisted:

Nah - I have too much respect for my family to put them through something hideous like that. When I want to torture them I have them look at pictures of left handed guitars. :twisted: :twisted:

i love practices like that. i've not had one with the band at church like that in a while. i often go and come home disappointed and uninspired. the musicians are typically out for themselves - nobody's listening to anyone else, and we don't practice, we chop away at songs once or twice and the leader deems it fine.

but good practices?! man...that's amazing. right on!!! :P

Love my RV50 also, we need a new picture of your kids, they got to be getting bigger by now! I've been using a Klon pedal with my RV50 and it takes everything to a whole new level. My current rig is:

PRS Santana MD > Fulltone Wah > Klon Centaur > RV50 > PPC 212 (I put a Carbon Copy Delay and a Fulltone Supatrem & MXR Microamp in the loop)

This rig is simple and gives me every sound I could want. The Klon was expensive but it really is unique and has a certain mojo I haven't found in other pedals. I run in on all the time at a low level.
