Is rack gear coming back?

I've used rack stuff for a long time.. but as playing time and places decrease in some places the ability to set your shit up fast and organized vs wasted time creating a mini Stonehenge out of amps means more stage time

That’s cool. Haven’t checked their hardware out so it’s interesting.

I really dug using their software and needed something to play in my apartment without disturbing the neighbors.

I already have enough pedals to use so I figured I didn't need to spend the extra money on a Helix. I like the simplicity of the bias rack.

Y'all are making me want rack gear, gat DAYM.

A long time ago I was thinking that it would be pretty dope with amp heads that had built in spaces for rack shit. Or cabs. I have a 1x12 that has some unusable space above it that might be convertible to a rack area actually

DSL40C and '73 Twin, both sound straight bonkers.
I found that the DSL doesn't like being mic'd with the stuff I would normally mic it with, but once I threw the Blueberry in front of it it just sang, boys, saaannng.


And the twin, well I mean, you can mic that badboy with a Radioshack (RIP) mic and it'd be fine. It's now buddied up with a Hummingbird, which really does something for it, so airy

If I found one of those rack Rats I would really consider it....

Also been thinking about looking for one of those 30 band EQ racks or some shit since I see them for like $50 used so.... maybe?

Here's my current amp setup in my basement - don't see this changing any time soon due to le pandemic. Also you can see my laundry area in the background

Very cool!!!!

I am at present enjoying this amplifier paired with this speaker. It pretty much sounds exactly how one would expect it to (arguably terrible, but I imagine it can cut through a mix like a motherfucker).

i want to see your whole lab.

It's a mess since I'm trying to carve some space to set up some gear for some streaming, but I'm told that just adds to the charm. Please forgive the large pics (better to play Where's Waldo? by)

still rocking my science shiv into a science 2x12, but added an emperor 2x12 and '62 brown face reverb unit that i scored for a stupid good price:

yay! Kramer XKG love!
