Turff from Screaming Mechanical Brain shows guitar players how to setup a your guitar rig in a way that can handle just about any form of abuse you can imagine. This is good stuff, a must-watch for anyone starting a band.
A special thanks to Turff and Screaming Mechanical Brain for putting this kickass video together for Backstage Smarts.

@LeoKisomma He uses the power amp side of the Mesa for practice. His rig is controlled by an Axe-FX into a VHT rackmount power amp. He has used a line6 rackmount pod before, but that was before he picked up the axe-fx.

Just out of interest, what amp are you using? It looks like a mesa boogie, and a friend of mine who actually fixes amplifiers as a job says he's probably had every mesa boogie amp sold within his whole county in his shop for repairs they're that unreliable.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to wind you up or cut you down, you've just got a very clean-cut sound even through there's lots of distortion, and I'm looking to find out how that's done.

You've done a drumming vid, and a guitar one, time for bass now?
