It didn't take me long before realising that I needed an EQ in the loop as a solo boost, and shortly after I got a wah, but I played with just those two pedals for ages.
Its a really versatile amp though so I can set the gain for crunch, roll back guitar volume and kick in the second master for clean, hit the overdrive for extra gain or lead.
I don't do much lead stuff though so don't need a huge variety of sounds.
I did it for a year in my covers band too, but it is easier to use my G3 as a tuner and have reverb and a bit of slapback occasionally along for the ride, plus a master volume expression pedal.
I keep trying pedals but ultimately they frustrate and annoy me, I end up spending thousands on sounds I might use.
I will be. First gig of my new project is in feb, it's acoustic guitar, double bass and myself, i'll be playing a Gibson Midtown into a Princeton Reverb.
Bingo.
Note: if you want Utopia, simply add an FX8
cae 3+ se / 2-90 amp then various TC fx etc
then a Mesa combo with pedals out front, analogman, etc
now have a 2 channel amp, guitar volume to go from clean, crunch and mean, with at most a reverb or delay patched into the loop. Simple, and easy to work out if there is a fault. Plus very consistent sounding. Near on plug in and play on each occasion.
happiest I've ever been
I like that mine is actually attached to my guitar, i do carry a headstock tuner too for dead battery emergencies.
Orange CR120 head. Basic crunch tone and used the guitar's volume pot.
Thing is, I'd need the little pedal board anyway because I like wireless. But the simplicity the other night really was appealing.
