My new rig- finished! (Page 1 of 2)

Dave- Turbo tuner is very cool- so easy to read.

Plexi - YES YES YES. Great great sound. I swapped my Fender Tweed 57 twin for a Cornell ROmany - but I went and 'reversed' the deal this morning- the Cornell Tweeds are so so, the Plexi's are AWESOME. And, as tweeds go, the Twin is still my fave amp ever. DO NOT be fooled by the fact the Plexi is 18w. It's deafening. Like a 50w Marshall.

DDL- £650 second hand. But really, really good. I've put the TC PCF Chorus AFTER it to fatten the tone. It really does work. Deadly silent too.

Blade- hahaha- you've hit on my desert island guitar there. I love that machine. It's one of the early hand built ones and has DG20 EMG's in it.

Rich- no I have a choreography business! Not much money in dance- although we've just 'won' supplying the dancers for Madonna's latest effort. I shall not publically comment on how someone so tone deaf as made so much money...........

Dave- there's a Cornell Head going for £600 on eBay. Same as mine but a prototype. I paid £850 for mine on eBay - they are £1375 new- worth every penny. I will give you a heads up that Chandlers have a Silver Jubilee  25/50w 1 x 12 going for around £700.

Pedal- get a Kingsley Jester ($375 + shipping and duty) or a simple TS808.

I only just got it- it's a fun thing and packs so many options into one pedal. I like all of it but the flanger which is awful. I bought it mainly for the whammy, which is better than all of 'em save for the original one and also the IPS 33B rack unit. The Space Synth thing is fab! Dunno when or where I'd ever use it though.

Re keeping fx off the signal path, this is a very complex routing system which only passes the signal through the pedals I want to use, and has Cornish buffers everywhere to smooth out the gain and to keep it 'at unity'. It is NOT a true bypass system- it's a hybrid of true bypass on old noisy pedals and unity gain on the boutique pedals. Pete Cornish spent hours advising me about how to do it and doing the buffers and cables. Lovely man.

Sure....I will post some clips soon.

Does anyone have any JB backing tracks?

YEAH ; Looks pretty versatile if not complicated    do you use all that stuff ? love to hear some clips

nice guitars as well   rock on !! 

where you bin Justin?

"Everybody's entitled to my opinion.

Computer blew up mang.  Just got a new one so I'm back in action again.     It DID come out of my Make a Dream Rig Fund however!     

Unbelieveable rig man. You like your Cornish stuff!

Please let me know your thoughts on the Cornell Plexi's. I have just bought a Ceriatone OTS and am very happy but require a small amp for teaching, quiet gigs on the fly etc... I was thinking of a Plexi 7. Was just wondering if you had played one, or if they sounded small and Box like? Can't find a decent video on YouTube! And don't fancy going down the Fender style sound (princeton RI) when I already have the Ceriatone which is like a Dumble (which is like a Fender Twin on acid)!!!!!!!
I have about £600 quid to spend and would like to spend my pounds and support a UK company.

Well, I think that is due to the fact that Joe's basic recipe for delay is such a simple one.  Just an easily available, non boutique digital delay (Boss DD-3) through the effects loop his his Jubilee.  Even Joe is a self professed reverb junkie.  He's had the Diaz reverb tank, Fender reverb tanks when they worked), Boss RV5 reverb, Boss DD3's set for both delay and a slapback/bathtub sound, TC 2290, etc.  That's a whole LOT of reverb and delay!  I think you do have a point however and I'll even throw another twist to it:  I think that people also get hung up on the reverb AND delay too much.  One of Joe's 3 tones is pretty much completely dry.  If you listen to his albums they are much more dry sounding than his live tone.  The guy doesn't need the reverb or delay to sound good, though live it especially helps if the room is dead sounding.  I think that's why you see so much echo/reverb in his live rig.
