Keith's Magica Rig

4/2/2018

0 Comments

 
​When I play personally with my own band, I mainly play a RedPlate standard Magica head with a “blackface” clean.  I chose this amp because it fits my personal playing style, as well as the style of the music being played.  I do not spend a lot of time on the clean channel, but when I need clean, it has to be sparkly clean and the blackface tone fits that need perfectly.  As far as drive goes, I basically live on drive 2 and change my pick attack and guitar volume for cleaner sounds for the different songs we perform.  I normally play classic rock and blues rock (think Gary Moore) and that is what I am shooting for most of the time.  Currently, I play the Magica with a RedPlate 1x12 loaded with a Celestion Creamback 65, but I am constantly trying different speakers.  I prefer lower output humbuckers and use the gain of the amp for my tone.  If I need a bit more push, I have been using an Arc Effects Klone v2 lately.  The Magica’s drive sound is exactly what I want as far as feel and how it cleans up.  I can go from Led Zeppelin II to early Van Halen, just with my pick attack and guitar volume and that is exactly what I need.

Here is my Magica head and 1x12 cabinet with a fantastic Scero Taglio Guitar.  I love how the large check grill works with the blue tolex.  It's my "classic, modern" look.
