My rack equipment is very simple but terrific sounding. The octal tube Revelation is the "Cadillac" of tube preamps.


Sarno Octal tube Revelation preamp




Sarno Classic preamp




I use TC Furlong powered speaker cabinets with the above.

Furlong 15" Split with JBL K 130



Furlong 12" Splits with weighted cone speaker

My reason for using rack systems is a ruptured disk in my back between L4 and L5. I have one system with a Sarno Classic and a Stewart PA 200 power amp. I use a Black Box on the floor. I also have a Sarno V8 and a Black Box mounted on a rack shelf with a Stewart PA 200 in another slot. Have to use a Neabauer Wet Reverb pedal with that. I play them mostly thru a Eminence ESP 15 C speaker. Both of these racks play out real nice. The only problem is that now instead of 3 trips to the car to unload, it takes 5 or 6. Exercise is good for you.

I don’t actually have 2 Lexicon MPX 1’s in the rack anymore... I keep the 2nd one in a smaller go Rack, and I’ll grab the Stroborack then too, if I’m just going to go and play through an amp... The set-up in this picture is what I use at home for playing and recording.

I'm 100% satisfied with the sound from my modified Nashville 400 with no effects at all. But this alternate circuit going direct to console is very useful and flexible for recording or writing.

The Blend control of the PRE-1000 is brilliant. My default sound is lively and aggressive near 0 on the Blend control. A quarter turn left gives a beautiful mellower tone. I'm thinking of rewiring the foot pedal and relay for the Bro effect to switch the Blend control on and off instead.

The SPL gives as much tube style gain as I'd ever want with no distortion, noise or tone deterioration. Vastly superior to a compressor in my opinion. It takes some time to tailor the multi-band EQ for each instrument. Raising or lowering the volume of each band either removes things that detract from the tone or enhances it. The end result profoundly enhances both the tone and feel of the instrument.

The Telonics reverb is excellent sounding but somehow incomplete and output is only in mono. The Demeter reverb for guitar or pedal steel is breathtakingly beautiful, especially in stereo.
