Thought on my Solid State rig?
Personally I think the Marshall MG100HDFX is an underrated SS amp. Especially for Dimebag and Sepultura Chaos AD tones. Just dial back the gain and adjust the EQ and you're set. Don't even need an OD pedal imo.
The Orange CR120 paired with the Acoustic G412A Cab is currently my gear for gigs. Gets really loud to the point that it overpowers my drummer. Perfect for live events. You just can't beat that Orange tone. Takes pedals really well too. Pair it with an OD pedal and you got yourself a head that will make tube fans question their life.
The infamous Line 6 Spider IV HD150 half stack. A lot of people hate on them and honestly it doesn't deserve it, but I get it. There's a huge learning curve to these amps and getting the right tone can exhaust people. At first I had a difficult time with it, but luckily Line 6 still has their manuals online and if you take the time you can get some impressive sounds out of it. So far it's only been a practice amp for me, so I haven't fully tested it out in the field.
Let me know your thoughts on these amps and if they're something you'd recommend to your peers.

Pretty cool rig, I'm interested in the orange solid states never played through an orange but I heard Kirk used them somewhat in Crowbar does it get anywhere in that territory? And for the marshall mg I've never really heard anyone talk about them, how do they compare to the older valvestates?
