vtwinxpert's Metal Pedalboard

This „spaghetti“ shows me testing my live rig before one concert in the South of France this summer.

This is a „stereo rig“, the guitar signal goes, through the tuner, to the Fender ABY, that can then split them in two or combine them. Signal chain A goes directly to the Boss Katana, where 4 foot-switchable digital channels are pre- programmed: one with an acoustic guitar simulator, one for electric guitar clean and two high gain channels: one for rhythm and one for lead. The advantage of the Katana is that every channel can be programmed with its independent EQ, voicing and effects chain, which is ultra-versatile. The B side of the Signal path is Full Tube and uses the Mesa Vtwin in front of the Bugera G5 Head. In this way I have at my disposal 4 full foot-switchable tube channels: 2 from the Vtwin and two from the G5 when the first is bypassed. I have the flashback 2 with the Petrucci „Mountain high“ tone print as a cool digital delay for the lead tone (specially the high gain one) For high gain rhythm I go fully dry. I seldom use the reverb of the G5 on that Signal path, as I do not find it very pleasing. I am thinking of adding a dedicated reverb pedal on the B signal chain. Even though the Katana has its own speaker and I have the beautiful custom made 1x12 custom made cabinet, loaded with vintage 30s, that can be seen in the picture, when I play live I go, on both channels, through the Speaker simulated DI out of both the Katana and the G5 directly into the mixing board. My band does not have a supporting sound engineer and we do not have much time For sound tests, so in that way I can get a decent live sound quite quickly
