Here's my rig...

[MarshallJMP]

Nice!!

[Dante]

Which Intellifex is that?

[El Chiguete]

I think is the ¨Online¨version

[Systematic Chaos]

That's the Intellifex Ltd. (aka Silverface)

[McLeanAB]

Same as Systematic Chaos, there only a small amount of ADA in there.... it's the ADA GCS-2 on top of the inside left monitor:




Signal flow:  Theta Preamp XLR cab sim out to Peavey Mixer.  Theta Preamp line out 1 to Lexicon MPX-G2, stereo XLR outs to Peavey Mixer.  Theta Preamp line out 2 to ADA GCS-2, XLR out to Mixer.  Lexicon MPX-1 in effect loop of Peavey Mixer.  Smaller monitors are connected to the computer.  Larger monitors are connected to the Peavey Mixer.

Then my "live" rig consists of these:






ISP Impression in the effect loop of the Theta Combo!

How do you guys like those? I found one nearby for pretty cheap, not that I need it, just wanna check it out

The 8-voice Chorus in the "old" Intellifexes is legendary.......
Other than that, solid Rocktron FX / quality and the vaunted HUSH, very transparent units.
Almost studio quality Chorus, Delay and Reverb....that´s what the Intellifex is about. If you´re looking for some more fancy modulation FX the Replifex might suit better, although it lacks (imho) the above mentioned quality.
You cannot alter the FX order/chains but there are a couple of pre-defined algorithms/chains that suit almost everyone.

You cannot go wrong with an Intellifex imho

Dante's rig is probably close to what I may end up with.  I have a boss GX700 an I love it.  I love it's distortions as well.

I noticed some frighteningly huge and pro looking rigs on here.  I want to cry  :(

Systematic Chaos, are you a pro musician?  In a touring band? 

So much equipment, made me feel a little amateur

The GX700 should let you run the MP-1 as integrated preamp (4cable method) with the ability to place the COSM modeled stomps (OD/Dist, Flanger, Phaser,....) in front last the FX chains/order can be individually set up. The Roland GP-100 (which is basically just a beefed up GX700) lets you do that....
I set up a friends rig using just an Engl Savage SE, the Engl switcher and the GP-100 and it works like a charm

I´m far from being a pro musician....all the gear is just the result of a couple of years "tone-chasing", which finally took me (back) to the Triaxis/2:90 rig. Boogie Mark-series Hi-Gain is my sound ;-) and I´ve found my grail tone in that setup.
Keeping all the other stuff is simply gear-nerdy lessons learned. In the past whenever I sold something I missed it the instant it was out the door.

My present practice/home rig is totally small, easy and straightforward (see attached pic):
- iPad
- Postive Grid Bias and JamUp Pro XT
- Roland UA-22 Duo Capture EX
- Peak Midi Board 
....Plug'n'Play  8)

Jesus why so much gear then?  Do you ever get to use it.  Surely it's 1000's of Euro's worth?


Yeah I'm pretty well versed in the set up of the GT series and GX700 which is basically the Boss Rack version of the GT5.  I have dedicated a lot of time to those units and I own two of each from GT5 to GT8.

I have been integrating the MP1 with the GT5 at the mo and using it's cab sim and basic effects.  I think it sounds pretty good.

If I can end up with MP1 GX700 and a power amp I'd be happy.  I need something easy enough to get on planes/boats for gigs abroad.  That is why Crate Powerblock amps are awesome, their size is genius.

Have you tried the creates with the MP1 yet ?

I keep the stuff I like and sell the stuff I don´t like ;-) Sound-/Tone-wise I like the Boogie Triaxis/2:90 combo with the MPX-G2 the most (at the moment).
But since I´m only at home at the weekends the iPad-rig comes in handy for practicing or an ad-hoc gig

Yeah I tried on Saturday past.  I think I mentioned the results elsewhere, um in the tubes discussion post I think  :???:

I felt it was fine.  I had to adjust the presence as it was a little fizzy.  I ran MP1 into the FX loop of my Boss GT6.  It sounded ok but nowhere near the amount of gain I needed.  It sounded Marshall esque to me.  That day I think I had the EHX in the first slot and a JJ in the second slot. I was getting more 70's heavy metal tones.

I have ended up with the chinese tubes back in there again as they were with out a doubt better sounding (and feeling).  I little more gain although I definitley am going to go for a higher gain mod at some point, which one I choose I haven't decided upon. Could be 3TM or MOD4 MKII or SS MOD.

Have you tried MP1 > Create, GT6 in MP1 loop ? use GT6 just for effects.  IIRC you said GT6 is digital so you like GT5 as is analogue, so use GT5 instead again just for effects
