Your rig?

Alecs	Date: June 25, 2008 @ 8:08 AM Wondering what everyone's rigs consist of Mine is as such: Guitars: Ibanez RG-1527 (7-string) w/ Dimarzio DSonic 7 and Tone Zone 7 pickups Epiphone Les Paul Standard Aria "The Cat II" ($110 for this beauty! Best deal ever!) Strings: Ernie Ball Super Slinkys (9-42), .58 on the 7th string Picks: Dunlop Delrin 1.5-2mm Cables: Dimarzio Amp: Carvin SX-300 Pedals: Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah, Boss GT-8 (I use the GT-8's fx loop to bypass all of its built in preamps and such. this way, all of the tone comes from the amp but I can still use all of the GT-8's effects)
zedsalt	Date: June 26, 2008 @ 3:27 AM Electric guitars: '72 Guild S100 Deluxe (Polara predecessor that came w/ a Bigsby. I added a transition-era singlecoil Fender pickup between the 'buckers and gave it its own output jack by taping the coil switch to out-of-phase and dropping it into the control cavity.) transition-era Strat body, neck, neckplate, and bridge w/ a variety of other bits and pieces, including a brass nut and an EMG SA (active, switchable between single and double coil)pickup late '60s Domino (Vox Phantom knockoff) w/ an early-to-mid '60s Gibson minibucker (from a Firebird) in the bridge position, set up for slide Harmony Rocket w/KMD single coil at "reverse Strat angle" by bridge, Nashville strung Strings: 11s or 12s, various brands No picks, various cables, no amp Pedals: Prescription Electronics Experience, Crybaby, Dunlop vol/trem, two Maestro Stage Phasers, Moogerfooger MF101, Electric Mistress, Dr. Q, Boss 10 band EQ, Tubeworks Tube Driver, a bunch of DODs- octave down, Harmonizer (non-intelligent pitch shift), envelope, chorus ...that's all I can think of at the moment; I'm probably neglecting to mention something or other...
leedsquietman	Date: June 26, 2008 @ 11:15 AM Yamaha Pacifica 412 circa 2002 2 single coil, 1 humbucker (bridge), amazing action and neck and great sound out of the box. Yamaha Pacifica 112 circa (pickups as above) 1999 (backup gtr) Yamaha Acoustic guitar circa 1982 Yamaha BB4 NII circa 2000 Fender Frontman 25 amp Yamaha GA10 amp Roland Cube 30 amp Zoom G1 effects. Boss DS1 distortion and OD2 overdrive, danelectro fuzz and doubler. I regularly record using an SM57 miced to the Fender amp just off grill, sometimes using the fx and quite often do EQ/compression and modulation FX in software. Or sometimes record DI and fix it up with amp simulators such as Steinberg Warp or Amplitube if impractical to record loud !! (i.e. wifey tells me to 'shut that racket off')
zedsalt	Date: June 27, 2008 @ 3:26 AM You ought to get yourself a big ol' ridiculously high-powered stack...not for the tone,necessarily, but for its value in getting the Mrs. to quit complaining about the Frontman...
leedsquietman	Date: June 27, 2008 @ 7:12 AM yes, but I'd be sleeping on the couch for a considerable time after !! :yikes:
killoFunk	Date: June 30, 2008 @ 4:01 PM I guess I have no "rig", so to speak, I have enough crap to get through the gig, whatever it might call for... at least, that's the hope. Guitars: G&L Legacy w/Seymore Duncan JB Jr @ the bridge Epi Alleykat w/PRS Dragon @ the bridge Homebuilt Tele w/PRS dragon @ the neck and Kent Armstrong @ the bridge Frankenstrat W/DiMarzio hotrails @ the bridge, Hipshot drop-D tuner and 7 way switching Spector NS5CRFM- stock Amps: Late 50's Gibson GA15rvt Late 80's Kitty Hawk M3 100 watt Late 50's Orpheum low watt class A thingy Marshall 4x12 cab stock Traynor 4X12 cab with Celestion V30's 2 Watt Guitar King amp (very cool) H&K Tubeman Plus ART SUX2000 w/ ART X15 Carl Martin Compressor Trace Elliot EQ Kingston Wah (very cool) and... hmmmmm I'll have to think some more.

hantu	Date: June 30, 2008 @ 5:44 PM It used to just be a computer, it's still just a computer and in time to come will probably still just be a computer. You can probably tell from my beatz blad! It's interesting to read/see everyones equipment.
GeneHilbert	Date: June 30, 2008 @ 5:57 PM One piece at a time, Dude. Put away a music nest egg. Know what you need, then peruse the net, pawn shops and used stores. Check out the classifieds. You would not believe some of the crap I used through the years until I was able to get quality gear. Then I sold what was still ok to people that were doing the same thing I was. Little by little....

Snoogans775	Date: August 18, 2008 @ 11:49 PM ooh, I like singing a new thread for this. I use a couple guitars, but my favorites are... Ibanez SA series with two singles and a hummie Ibanez artcore-fingerplucking goodness Johnson acoustic-definitely gets the most play I use a peavey classic 30 amplifier with an external speaker(celestion gt12-100) which has a radically large amount of headroom boss gt-3 effects pedal I've also just started using a fender deluxe strat with a floyd rose, pretty cool, but strats are so twangy to me.
