Hey guys,
I’m pretty psyched about my new rig! I’m using the axe fx (for effects) in front of a Port City “Pearl” head and a 1x12 OS Wave cabinet. I’ve had my axe fx for almost 2 years and I’ve tried a bunch of setups (FR enclosures, in front of my old Tone King Meteor II, through the power amp section of a Mesa Boogie Mk 4, etc….) and nothing has come close to the Port City/Axe Fx combo.
My friend Ede Wright gave me the heads up on Daniel’s new head called the “Pearl”. It’s a 50 watt, 6L6, 20 lb. head and sounds big and beautiful on it’s own. It’s a perfect mate for the Axe Fx since it’s made to be loud and clean. It only has 1 channel (volume, treble, mid, bass, and a bright switch) and it sounds amazing paired with the Axe Fx. The 1x12 OS Wave combo sounds HUGE. It really sounds closer to a 2x12 and has a very balanced sound with amazing bass response. I had it loaded with a Jensen Jet Tornado neo speaker and it only weighs about 26 lbs.
I’ve been trying to find a lightweight, versatile, portable rig for a while now- something I can take on any gig (jazz, Motown, funk, hip hop, experimental, etc…) and have it work and I finally found it.
Here are some pics:
