Guitars:
- 1993 Ibanez RG370 (Japanese, Jewel Blue, with original Edge - nobody believes this guitar exists but the were just for Asia/Australia).
- Ibanez seven-string mongrel: 2000 RG7620 neck, RG7420 Magenta Crush body with Dimarzio Tone Zone 7 and and Blaze pickups.
- 1996 Ibanez RGR470 Deep Wine. Reverse headstock, sharktooth inlays. Mmmmm. Plays like buttuh.

Pedals:

Amp:
Crate GT200 head - before you laugh, when I was amp-shopping, this particular amp went head-to-head against a Fender, Soldano, Mesa Boogie, Marshall and Peavey, and another identical Crate, and won hands-down. It has some freaky voodoo going on. The closest recorded examples of similar tones are AC/DC's entire catalogue, Vai's Die To Live and tracks 2 and 3 off Dream Theater's "Scenes From A Memory."
Crate 4X12 slant cabinet with Eminence speakers.

1970s Axiom valve PA head for blues.

Thats what I like to see

My setup that I play regularly is an RG550 with EMG 85/S/81 combo into an Ibanez WH-10 into a Marshall DSL 401. I have a Kramer Pacer but I havn't finished working on it yet my first guitar is in peices with a fully scalloped board. My 'kit guitar' has a fully contoured body but doesn't have a neck or finish yet. I am also making an amp when the parts get here Acoustic wise I use nylon stringed guitars and mine is a Rodreguez model B with spruce top. I have a american Jazz bass and marshall bass amp but I am thinking of selling those to get a steinberger!!

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.

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.
