My gosh, where does everyone get all the money for this stuff? My "rig", if that's what you'd like to call it, is really simple.
Guitars:
Schecter C-1+ black cherry
(someday) JEM7VWH
Pedals:
Only a dunlop Crybaby Classic (should really get me a Bad Horsie)
Oh, and the contol switches for my amp
Amp:
Fender Princeton Chorus

Maybe soon I'll get a JSX or 5150 amp, but that's all I really need, what's the reason for all of the rack gear and stuff (besides high-end delays, flangers, etc.)? The tone you search for is all in your EQ and your playing style.

Though SOME of an individual's tone does undoubtedly come from the fingers and technique, there is no arguing that the amp setup and other equipment used has a great deal to do with the end product. You ask why all the rack gear and multiple amps, etc. I say, why not? I've never heard of versatility being a bad thing.

If I'm an artist, I'm certainly going to want more colors to work with than black and white.

Ibanez RG1550
Carlsbro GLX100
Boss HM-2 distortion, Boss CE-2 chorus, V-amp2.
Only got amp yesterday, so will be sorting out whether to use v-amp or the boss effects live. in my bedroom with experimenting I'm liking the v-amp more.

[sam669]

pretty simple for me
my rg2027x into my Laney vh100r with my hughes & kettner as cab
no effects, nothing!

[Mr Orange]

I'm not a rich fellow, so I don't have loads of gear .

Gitboxes:

Custom Hardtail Strat HSS, flame birch top, Duncan & Fender pups
Charvel CMX-Dlx floyd strat, now burnt and w/SSS pup config (Duncan)
Homegrown Strat, w/Duncan pups
...and a mongrel, totally beaten-up strat still in the process of making...

Gizmos:

Snarling Dogs Super Bawl Whine-O Wah
EHX Frequency Analyzer ring modulator, w/TB mod
Line6 Delay Modeler
(plus an oddball Danelectro Tuna Melt tremolo which's not in regular use)

Amps:

'94 Rivera Hundred Duo Twelve
( + a custom 1-watt tube amp head + a VHT 1x12 cab for practicing at home)

All cables George L's and DiMarzios.

The tone? Smokin'!!!

Ive got a sonic maximiser on the way and Im gonna get a g major and a behringer foot controller for the whole lot in May, when funds allow. Oh yeah, and a rack case

[VanWyck]

Update:

Jem7VWH through Roland Cube 30 no more. Now playing through Mesa Boogie Rect-O-Verb 50 head (it's the newer version with three overdrive modes) and a 2x12 recto cab.

My wife calls it the "MEGA BOOGIE"

Anyone who cannot get a good sound out of this amp needs to review the on-line manual and the correct usage of the presence knob

[trajectory fish]

I'm now playing a Dean EVO 7 through an Acoustic Image Clarus 1 amp with an Ampeg PB112H speaker cab.
My whole rig weighs less than 30 pounds and has plenty of power with a great clean sound.
