Totally agree I have the RK5v2 totally nice portable pedalboard. As I mentioned in my previous post it’s not my main rig but it’s been elevated to my quick grab and go rig. I use it to play direct to PA and I play a variety of musical genres. I’ve had some time with it now to learn the SansAmp...
I have the RKv2 fly rig (not my main rig) but played thru it straight in the PA VIA XLR last night with my channel set flat and I set the tone I wanted on the fly rig and it worked great…
+1 voodoo labs.. great company and attentive to customer issues.. I had a pp2 that I used before getting a pp3 and one of the power ports went dead and they repaired it with no question and shipped it back to me asap..
Long time GLxD user.. I have played over 100 gigs easily and some have been in highly congested environments with cell phone and WifI routers such as trade shows and never had drop outs… maybe I’m lucky but I’ve never switched my GLxD 16 from channel 13
Here's a great reference site for the HotRod series of Amps... IF you're not hand with a Soldering Iron then take your amp to a tech..

I was in the same situation with a new band. I went with the Shure because it’s one of the gold standards in audio and I used all three of the systems mentioned here and the Shure was the one that had the least amount of drop outs… The downside of the Shure is it’s more expensive versus the...
I have a Gain Changer into a Timmy on one of my boards and it’s tonal Bliss in every amp that I use… I have notfound a amp where this combo of pedals does not work.. Even in solid state amps.. The secret in the sauce is the the Gain Changer can get a fair amount of Gain if you want without...
The GC is a staple on my pedalboard… it sounds awesome with my Fender and Marshall amps… I play both Les Pauls and Strato. The GC also works very well when stacked.. I‘ve stacked it with a Timmy , Rat, TubesScreamer and other pedals in my collection. Pedals come and go on my pedalboard but the...
I love my Super Reverb at any level of Volume with my Les Pauls and Strats.... The key for me is IF I'm playing in a small venue I realize the I can't crank it past 4 and I adjust accordingly and use a Barber Gain Changer to push the amp a little harder a lower volumes. Does it sound the same...
Dale,
That was a fantastic LLB cover of a timeless classic. Superb playing by everyone.. As a guitarist I love hearing the clarity of the guitars thru the mix. The lead singer and the ladies and the entire band working together just nailed the vibe. As a working musician when I see this level...
As a working guitarist I have several different Strats and have owned many.. I've tried a lot of pickups since the late 70's and while I love the vintage vibe of all of the boutique pickups and the original Fender Pickups.. I find that my go to on gigs is my Fender Vintage N4 Noisesless....or...
I've been using a Gain Changer for a number of years and is the only drive that has not rotated off my main pedalboard.. The GC is just a great sounding pedal and works with my rigs very well Marshall and Fender amps... I tweak the pedal for the amp I'm using for the gig and away I got.. Not at...
I have a KOT and what I've found with any pedal is how and when you use it... If I'm playing subtly i.e. home I find some really great pedals to be meh... but when I play the same pedal in a venue where i'm with the band and my amp is cooking and I listen back to recordings I say hot damn that...
Also a big user of the Shure GlxD16 with multiple guitars and transmitters. Never once had a drop out and I've done very large gigs with multitudes of wireless signals from cell phones to wifi routers and other band members using wireless systems. Baterry life is excellent for the transmitters...
I also have a BF DRRI in my amp collection ... Try a Barber Gain Changer...... , King of Tone, Prince of Tone, Rat, or Full Drive 2.... I play a variety of music covering anything for 70's on and can get some spectacular tones with the pedals I mentioned. I find that the key ingredient to good...
