I use a combo of boxes (I'm in a cover band so having an array is somewhat needed for different tones)

Let me start with this I have a JCM2000 DSL 100 I use the green channel for everything except when I cover Nickelback or metallica (or anything super overdriven, then I use the Red Channel)
on the Green channel I have the preamp set around 6 so I can roll off the volume and get a decent clean sound if I don't roll off the volume The amp sounds barely over drive, kinda like an old Lynyrd Skynyrd tone

I generally use a Boss SD-1 with Monte Allums mod for basically driving my DSL 100 over the top
and then on top of that a Boss DS-1 with a Monte triple rec mod on leads for sustain.

Depending on the set list I also have a 70's MXR Dist +, 70's Ross Distortion (Sounds just like the MXR), and a TS-7 which i set sometimes just for cranking. The SD-1 and DS-1 are always on my board though, they never come off.


Gibsons - Fenders - Ibanez's - EBMM's
Marshall - Peavey - Ashdown
Boss - Morley - Rocktron - Roland
