I'm actually doing a detachable brain + scaleable speaker setup myself. I have a vox tonelab SE hooked up to a solid state practice amp right now (Anything clean and reasonably flat of eq will work) But the tonelab can always be paired with bigger speakers to get the same sound in different venues.

Hey Mitch,

You might want to try out a Tech 21 Trademark 10.

I just got one and couldnt be happier, excellent quality build and tone, its an all analog modelling amp made in NYC. Perfect for bedroom practice.

Hey Mitch,

I currently dont have a Rickenbacker, I'm awaiting the arrival of one that I ordered what seems like years ago!

I'd play around with the British/Tweed settings with the Drive around 2 o'clock, Low at 9 o'clock Mids the same and the High level up. :-)
