Hi guys!!

I thought we'd do a less controversial topic this time around...

I'd like to hear about your favorite rig setup

ie:

What guitar you use, amps, effects..in what order do you like up your effects/pedals...

I think we can learn from each other on this one!!!
 
#102 ·
amazing thread...looks like everyone's show a piece of their gear. well anyway, here it goes:

Ibanez USA Custom
Fender Strat Plus
Carvin MTS3212 Combo
Marshall VS30R
Boss CE3
Boss DD5
Boss MT2
Boss DS1
Boss GT6
Dunlop Crybaby Wah

that's my small little rig....hopes to get a rackmount rig one day..but well, i'm broke... :lol:
 
#103 ·
Wow... 8 months later, I've managed to significantly re-do both of my rigs and end up with a lot less gear in the process!

Rigs depend on situation, but here goes:

Home recording:
Pod XT straight into PC

Live/Rehearsals:
Korg DTR1 tuner (rack)
Mesa Triaxis (rack)
Rocktron Hush Super-C (rack)
Rivera TBR-1 (rack, only use the power stage)

then either into a Mesa 4x12 or into 1 or 2 marshall 4x12's (one original 70's greenbacks, one 75's)

When i can't use my rig live due to transport then it's simply a Dual recto through a mesa cab.

Guitar wise it's basically Ibanez 7strings (UV/2027) and PRS's along with an RG. Have other axes, but these are the ones most in use.

Effect wise I was using a GT-5, but that's gone now, so the only thintg i use occasionally is a Vox wah pedal, for the rest it's all guitar->amp with no effects.

I've kind of gone back to "basics" and have completely re-done my setup over the last couple of months. I've still got (3) rigs, depending on the band or venue I'm playing, and the guitar selection has completely changed. I'm sure it'll happen again in another 6 months! LOL

damn.. you guys.. uh.. i dont have that much money to spend.. but for the money i think these are good buys for my rig.. i spent less than $1500 for all these.. :

JEM7DBK -> Boss GT-6 -> Carvin SX200-D

sounds great though.. bear in mind, i used to have a funnier rig.. lol.. which was:

prince lx-22g -> zoom 505 II -> any earphone 8O

so i guess i made quite an upgrade.. lol.. i guess ill just spend my days with these new rig until im rich enough to afford a new better ones..

Guitars: RG2020X, JCRG-3VV, RG8527DBK, RG1822TRD

Main amp/rig: ADA MP-1, MosValve 962 Power amp, Rocktron intellifex online, ADA microcab, furman RP-8, and a digitech control 8 MIDI foot controller

other amps: crate GFX-212T, an old Peavey Ultra 120 head (bought for $225 with 4X12 cab), and a crate GX-15R (practice amp).

Sure does seem like a lot of stuff; though most of it I bought used and really cheap, infact my whole rack cost under $700 and I got the RG2020X for free (long story).

vaijem777... I want to hear some sound clips of your rig; it looks really nice!

My rig is in the process of being finalized:

Guitars:
Ibanez RG520FM (customized)
Charvel CX290
Ibanez RG7620 (for sale)

Amp:
Mesa Mark IV Rackmount (soon to be a combo)
Marshall 1960A (soon to be Mesa 4x12)

...and sooner or later I'll buy a midi effects unit when I sell my 7620. I'm tore between some different units, oh well, life's full of important choices ;)

lol, I was thinking the Rivera rig, and if you want, the Mark IV rig... I'd like to hear how youve got it dialed up, I'm just now finally converting from the Marshall days and the Mark IV is taking some time to get used to. Anyway, its no big deal but if you get a chance, some clips would be awesome. Thanks,

-Nick
