So I went to pick up some goodies at the store today. To bring home with me.

=D
I'm gonna have to wait a few days for the 411 PRO to arrive, but this just sounds soo fantastic!
It's got tons of low end, great mids and a super overall precense.
I'll be using the whole stack next wednesday on our last day of school. Playing for 4-500 people (Parents, teachers and pupils) without PA support. It's gonna take some XTREME power! :D
Two more pics:

Oh, here's me looking lame in front of my amp
 
Hey, can I use my Korg GA-30 tuner through the Tuner out input?
Just a regular everyday workhorse tuner like this:
 
Congratulations Benjamin, it is a great rig :-)
Yes, you can use that tuner. It will be on only when you mute the amp :!:
 
that's right mate.
congratulations on your rig! actually I'm thinking about getting exactly identical one.

And, you look soooo young...;)

I'm 15. It must be a combination of the light, the silly face and the camera's inability to pick up all details. (Canon Powershot a460, just an OK digital camera) But yes, I do look young, I'm 15 after all :P
I'm getting quite tall tho. Haven't measured in quite a while (Greg, don't say it :P)
So, the new rig made me completely forget about band practice. I got down there half an hour too late. And we have a gig this thursday and next saturday. Both gonna be really fun. Sadly I won't be using my rig for any of the two. But I'll be using in next wednesday, I can't wait! :)

My fingers are so sore now. Trying to get the first 1/3rd of Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) good to go for saturday. I might have to borrow a distortion pedal to :)

pulling teeth hey, can you play it all? iv tried to learn it but i get past the first minute or so and get pissed off cos i cant play it propally, so i give up, havent tried it in ages tho..................i say inspiration, going to practice it now.
 
I'm doing the first 45 seconds. Cirka.
Well, to make it sound very proper you'll need distortion and wah. I've got neither. Might get my hand on a distortion for when we're playing it and just add some slight distortion.
 
Great rig Benjamin! I'm jealous ;)

How does the Pro 115 sound? I've always been curious - as I've never had the opportunity to play through one.

I could envisage trading one of my Pro 211 cabs for a 115 one day. I imagine they'd work well together (the 211Pro+115Pro).

:D

Really?

Is the tuner out only engaged on the X-Treme head when the mute is active?

What if you want to glance quickly at your tuner while you're playing?
 
Eberbachl, the 115 sounds amazing as a standalone. I can't wait to add the extra nuts of the 411 though!
It has great low end, smooth zingy mids. It could lack some treble for some. But I keep treble flat all the time anyway. Treble is just stupid:P.

Oh yea, and it's loud. Very loud for home practice xD(THE LOUDER THE BETTER ON STAGE OR BAND REHERSAL! XD)
 
Oh...ohhh.oooooooooohhhhh......
The amp got some action today I tried it at school. Testplaying for next weeks school's out party/ceremony (The party isn't on before the parents have left xD) I played it on the stage at school in quite a big amphitheatre for cirka 50-60 people. It filled it. Without trouble. They felt the low end from far away and I didn't have to push it past 12 o clock on master and 2 o clock on gain xD (AND THIS IS ONLY MY HALF STACK, WITH THE "WEAKEST" CAB! XD)
 
This wednesday. Wow.
4-500 people. The amp was used for three numbers. I played it for two.
Wow. Wow.
I was so loud, clear and defined, with such punching low end for the ballad.
When the other band played and lent my amp I was able to move away and listen from behind the crowd of people. LOTS OF PEOPLE. And I heard the bass clearly. No PA support.

Oh, now I understand why people would wear sunglasses even for slightly dark indoor avenues. You can't see the mass of people filling up the huge amphitheatre!
I don't fear the stage, I love it. But I was shaky half a minute before going on stage the first time. But with solid amplification and a great bass, it was no problem :)

I really hope the 411 arrives before I leave for italy. I really wanna try it and I'll be gone for three weeks! (I'll find a way to check in here ;D )

I am soooo satisfied :)

I'm also going to get a rackbag and a EBS MultiDrive pedal when I've worked for some money this summer. It'll be so nice :)

I was thinking Gator Rackbag. But it's 13 cm short for the Xtreme head, so it seems. So I'm gonna get a deep rackbag from RockBag!
Another Warwick item in my arsenal. EBS will be the only non-Warwick item in my rig :)
Well, Warwick don't make effect pedals! :P

Cheers!
 
New addition to the rig. An EBS ValveDrive pedal!
Only one problem. It's not here :/
Our bags didn't make it with the flight from Amsterdam to Værnes Airport (They should really re-name it "Hell International" (Værnes is at a place called Hell :D)
I can not WAIT to try the pedal for real!

The 411 PRO was supposed to come to the music shop within a week, it's been 6 weeks and I called the guy at the warehouse in norway today. Geir Flaa had forgot to issue the sending of the 411 pro to my music shop -.-
I told him it was on and he's sending it on monday.
 
The Valvedrive looks cool in the dark.It doesnt sound too shabby either.
 
I just put some DR Sunbeams on and the valvedrive is here!

AWESOME!
The sunbeams are the best strings I've ever tried and the ValveDrive is crazy!
