I should have taken a photo. I was playing my Fender American Standard Tele with Bare Knuckle pickups > D'addario tuner > Turbo RAT > Blues Mood (Keeley mod Bluesdriver clone) > Behringer VD400 analog delay> Mooer Trelicopter > Marshall JCM2000 DSL100
I was very happy with the tone.
I also briefy played through an Orange TH30 halfstack too, just to compare

Last night ended like this. Tonight will be the same rig with a different guitar.

Last night was all about this. My plan was to pick up the baritone and run through some new tunes my band is working on for a while. An hour and half passed and I was still playing the baritone. I had a beautiful clean tone happening that was lightly juiced with the GE7 and occasionally swirled up with some analog chorus, vibrato, univibe or amp tremolo. The baritone guitar is a very seductive thing, everybody should own one.

Not quite the mental image I had of what you'd look like in a self portrait to be honest.

Same amp and pedal configuration (standard these days), but using my Yamaha Pacifica 812S today. Debating whether to risk changing the strings before tomorrow's gig, or take an extra backup guitar instead. Due to the Floyd, this one can be temperamental to settle for a couple of days at times but I'll probably risk it as new strings rock.

Had a practice yesterday morning, then a gig in the evening. For the practice I tried something new. I got a Joyo American Sound last week and ran it DI rather than use an amp. Here's the chain: Tele > D'addario tuner > Turbo RAT > Blues Mood > Behringer VD400 analog delay> Joyo American Sound > > Mooer Trelicopter > DI box.
The American Sound worked great, and it kept up with the other guitarist who was going through an Orange. I wouldn't be afraid to gig it. I can barely believe something so cheap worked out so well.
That being said I didn't use it at my gig last night, I went with the pedal chain as mentioned but minus the American Sound, and into a Marshall JVM100 and it sounded absolutely massive.

I do not have an American Sound but I do have an AC Tone and a British Sound. They punch above their weight class.

They're cheap as chips! I'm a bit amazed it sounds so good and at that price. I might pick up one or both of those others as well.

Yes, that's Oolong. :)
Those little MicroCubes are great!!! I've got one.

I keep forgetting to take a pic of my practice setup, but last night I remembered.
We swap around different practice rooms. For a while I was going through an AC30, then until recently we were using a place with an Orange TH100 and a Marshall JCM900 (I'd go through the Marshall, our singer/guitarist would use the Orange).
Last night we were playing in a place that had an Orange Crush Pro 120. That is a nice amp! I used it all night and was super impressed. It's solid-state, and I liked it more than the JCM900 I'd been using previously.

I’m an Orange man these days. Played my first gig with my Dual Terror this past Wednesday and loved it. I also loved not lugging a Super Reverb which is something I’ve been doing for at least 25 years.
We shared backline so I set my DT on top of the guitarist in the next bands half stack and plugged it into his Peavy 4x12”. Sounded huge!

Dano baritone through an Orange Terror, I would never have thought of that combination! That sounded fantastic! You always riff like a motherfucker anyway, and I l covet Dano baritones, but in my limited imagination they're always reverby and tremoloing. But that smashed!
I didn't think Oranges were my thing. I thought they were 'other people sound great playing them, but they're not my style'. But recently I've had the opportunity to actually play at volume with a full band through the TH100 and Crush Pro 120 (rather than playing in a music store) and they sounded fantastic. Now having said that...

Just got home from playing a gig and this was the backline. I've played through many, many Twin Reverbs and I really like them, but I didn't want to tell the singer 'I'm taking the Twin', so because we had a bit of time at the soundcheck I said 'let's take a minute and each try both.'
Anyway, the other guy didn't even get a chance to try. I started playing through the JCM900 and the sound engineer said 'no, you should go through the Twin. It'll sound better'. I needed no persuasion, and he was right.
So, same board as the previous post, but through a Twin Reverb. And it felt like home.

Thank you! I got that baritone in the late 90’s with the intent of using it for the beautiful clean reverb tremolo thing. I did and still do but once I discovered that it also sounds fantastic with dirt it opened up a whole new world for me.

In my opinion what you need to do now is get an a/b box and run a Twin and an Orange half stack at the same time!
