I'm not a gigging guitarist at the moment; I'm actually a drummer in the bands I'm in now (though I'm a much more competent guitarist than drummer). I play at home for fun and also do some recording (some projects just for fun, others for hire for a composer/producer friend of mine). I love the MTS platform because I find it inspiring to have lots of different high-quality tones at my disposal. Right now I own the following six modules:
Jaded Faith Super Clean: I think this covers me pretty well for Fender-type tones.
Jaded Faith Voxless: no explanation necessary here. In addition to providing Beatles-y cleans, this does great mid-gain tones on the Matchless side.
Salvation Mandarine Graphic: provides a third flavor of clean and of course medium-gain Orange crunch.
Sacred Grove MK22: covers my classic Marshall needs with aplomb.
Randall XTC with Jaded Faith base mod: this seems to sound pretty close to various red channel modded XTC clips I've heard. It's one of my favorites and excels at the thick chewy sound, though sometimes I wish it had more midrange available.
Sacred Groove Diablo: the thickest Recto chunk imaginable.
I also have a Mesa Studio Preamp that I use at home along with my MTS preamp. In my rehearsal space, a Mark III and a Rivera M100 live next to my Randall RM100.
So I have a lot of bases covered here, and there aren't too many other modules out there I feel like I need. Rob's VHT module has me intrigued, though. I feel like this might provide me some tight modern high-gain flavor that I don't currently have. I don't think I've heard any good clips of this module, so can anybody summarize what it's all about?
Alternatively, any suggestions what would round out my collection? I like all kinds of different tones from clean to high-gain and vintage to modern. I wouldn't describe myself as a metal guy though I like to jam on riffs that tend in that direction. Definitely not into the '80s thing. I've considered the PV VIL but in the end I don't think I'm too into those tones. For a long while an SLO mod was on my list, but after listening to clips of them I'm no longer sure that's a tone I really want. I have the Mark thing covered already with actual Boogie gear. From the clips I've heard of the JF Erect, it sounds different enough from my Diablo that I might consider owning one. It seems to do the buzzsaw modern Recto tone pretty well, which is fairly different from the thick chunky "first 500" tone my Diablo does. Also still considering a Stonerverb or Rverb to get the high-gain Orange thing happening. I'm also open to clean flavors I might be missing, though I can't think of any off the top of my head.
