Katana has totally dominated the market. I hear the Mk.II is super versatile.

I don’t get custom made ones but I’ve had a lot of success with various lengths of this Ernie Ball brand:

You can buy multipacks like this or individual ones. I like them because they’re super flexible since they’re ribbon style. Even if a cable you use is a little longer than needed, it’s flexible enough to tuck underneath the board easily enough.

I linked Sweetwater because I tend to use them a lot, but I’m sure you could find them from a different vendor for better shipping rates where you’re at.

So this has been my current "rig" for a bit now. I have the mt-15 going to the center cab and the dual rectifier going to the two outer cabs. They really compliment each other well. The mt-15 is a bit more spongy, warm, and more mid-range-y compared to the dual rectifier having that more bright punchy sizzle with plenty of low end.
They kinda balance each other out perfectly.

I have a delay and noise gate running in the mt-15's effects loop, an A/B-Y pedal, and the helix floor unit is used only as a midi controller so that I can switch both amps simultaneously from clean (blue & green) to dirty (red & red) channels.

Was a huge pain in the ass figuring it out and I had to buy this special box from voodoo labs to make the dual rectifier midi switchable and then get the helix to do 2 amps at once: 1 via midi and the other via 1/4 jack lol.

The result however is a tone that is unbelievably massive, and always leaves me smiling and ears ringing

I've been looking at their SC-Custom II series as I might need another six-string for Drop C# to rehearse with my new band. It looks pretty much like ESP LTD, just wondering if it's good for the price it retails for.

They can be awesome value but they don't have great quality control, so be prepared to make send one or two back with possible issues.

Like Chapman guitars, their business model is too buy direct from the factory and the store is supposed to QC, but they often don't. So there could be a likelihood of manufacturing defects or setup issues. BUT, if you get a good one, that's a lot of guitar for very little money. The cheaper bits on them can be easily upgrade later, too.

Just got myself one yesterday to be able to rehearse with my band cause I needed a proper multi-effect pedal for all the tone switching with banks assigned for each song and I'm loving it! It's got far more stuff in it that I would ever need but features like built-in tuner, wah-wah and volume pedal are really helpful.

I've had multiple Helix variations. The Placator, Ventoux and Derailed Ingrid models are awesome. I also love the Teemah drive pedal on there.

Good stuff. I'm loving the Revv and Archetype modulations on the POD. It's crazy that you can even assign a Digitech Whammy pedal modulation to the expression pedal.

I would be over the moon to have an actual Revv

The Revv models in the Axe-Fx system are solid too. I have an FM3 and enjoy using those amp models a lot, especially the purple channel.
