Hey everyone,
New (potential) user here. I'm looking for a solution for my live rig, and have turned my attention to Fractal.
My objective is to simplify my setup, mimic my current tone, and add an available tight, high gain (Mesa/JCM/Deizel) stage.
Currently, my set up is:
Guitar > Tuner >
Barber Tone Press >
Volume Jr > Crybaby Classic >
Tubescreamer > Zvex Box of Rock >
Phase 90 > Line 6 DL4 (x2) > Boss DD-20 > Line 6 DL4 (x2) > Hardwire Reverb >
Stereo output to Vox AC30/Fender Twin.
As you can see, things can get pretty complicated. I'm looking to replace everything except for the DL4s (I use them for on-the-fly looping), and possibly the Tone Press (I'm in love with it's compression - not sure if Fractal's will be as effective)
Proposed set up would be:
Guitar >
Mission Expression (spring wah) >
Fractal Ultra/Voodoo Labs Ground Control (maybe the II if the Ultra is too outdated) >
DL4 (x4)
Mission Expression (volume) >
Output to 2x12 (probably with V30's)
I don't plan on going direct out, as we don't typically tour with a sound guy and I'm looking more for consolidation instead of general tone control.
Questions are:
How does the Ultra (or II) compare? Is it capable of accomplishing what I need?
Does this proposed set up make sense? What additional equipment might I need?
Is there a better route to go?
Thanks for your help!
