My Full Rig

Rig Vibe

Hybrid Stage Chameleon

This rig belongs to a working musician who regularly covers both guitar and bass roles and values the ability to run a full 4-cable amp setup or just grab the pedalboard and plug into any available cab.

Tone Profile

Modern high-gain rock and metal (Revv G20 + Precision Drive), aggressive and articulate bass tones (Darkglass MT900v2 + Harmonic Booster), plus ambient textures from the Avalanche Run. The Seagull adds clean acoustic support, while the wireless and MS-3 give quick genre-switching flexibility from tight modern metal to atmospheric delay/reverb sounds.

Strengths

• True hybrid 4CM implementation on two very different heads (Revv G20 and Darkglass MT900v2) is well thought out and genuinely useful.
• The Templeboard + Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 3 core is clean and reliable for a board this size.
• Excellent guitar/bass instrument variety (PRS S2 McCarty 594, two Charvels, and the Charvel bass) that actually matches the amp voices rather than just collecting dust.
• The Orange Terror Stamp gives a credible “just the board” option when a backline cab is available.

Growth Areas

The MS-3 is doing a lot of heavy lifting as the central brain; consider whether its limited MIDI and loop count is starting to constrain you as the board grows. The two Jensen Tornado speakers are solid but mismatched in a 2×12, so phase and response consistency could be improved. Finally, the signal path between the wireless, MS-3, and two separate 4CM setups is complex—small gain-staging or impedance tweaks here can yield noticeable clarity improvements.

Upgrade Path

• Budget (~$120–150): Add a dedicated tuner (Polytune 3 or TU-3) in its own loop on the MS-3 so you’re never tuning through the wireless and effects chain.
• Mid-tier (~$300–350): Replace the two mismatched Jensens with a single used Celestion G12M or Creamback 2×12 for a more coherent guitar cab.
• Aspirational (~$1,800–2,200): A used Fractal FM3 or Quad Cortex would let you replace the MS-3 + Avalanche Run + Precision Drive with one unit while keeping the 4CM routing to both the Revv and Darkglass heads.

One-Line Takeaway

“I built one board that can run my Revv in 4CM, my Darkglass rig in 4CM, or just the Terror Stamp when I’m traveling light.”
