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!!!

How can you possibly use a marshall cabinet with a VHT head????? You're getting about 1/4 of the sound that a VHT cab can give you.

Vic Firth Scott Johnson or Ralph Hardimon sticks.

I'm getting out of the guitar for awhile, getting back to my passion for rudimental snare/drumline playing and drum corps. I should be in the Marine Drum Corps this next year.
 
#138 ·
cool.. 8) it's interesting reading about other peoples setups here.
So many cool combinations of gear & guitars.
:)
I play a Gibson Les Paul Classic 3 Pickup Special, Washburn CS-780
with Buzz Feiten Tuning System factory installed, an Ibanez RG2027xVV
7-string, and a Fender American Stratocaster '57 reissue in White Blonde
with Ash body. Alongside a few others. Got the bases covered
pretty well for what I do. Still have my Ibanez RS440 Roadstar, my
first 'real' guitar {it's got a great neck! candy apple red finish yah!}
which was modified with the addition of a Washburn Wonderbar tremelo
system since the old ProRocker was cracked & broke in half on me! lol..
And of course there's the RG1550 which is currently up for sale here ;)
Amplification-wise I use a Johnson JM150 Millenium Stereo Combo in
glorious stereo for clean + dirty tones in combination with a Hughes &
Kettner Triamp MKII coupled with H&k 4x12 cabs & Peavey 5150II.

Effects are just my fingers---->guitar cable------>amp :wink:
heh
For fun I like to run the JM150 & 5150II together with 5150 dry and
JM150 set for stereo delay and some stereo detuning for a pretty
full sound. Or the RG2027 magnetic pickup output to Triamp MKII
and it's piezo output thru the JM150 Combo. Really dig the sound
of that too. Could play that setup for hours, days lol. The 2027 is
such a sweet axe it plays like butter with new .10 strings.
Occasionally I'll break out the Boss SD1 Super Overdrive pedal
as harmonic boost for leads/etc. Along with MXR SCript Phase 90,
Boss CE-2 Chorus, Paradox TZF Flanger, & Sweetsound Ultravibe.
It's all good. :D There's just nothing sweeter than the sound of a guitar.

play on,
-Vince

Modified Marshall TSL-100
Mesa 2x12 Cab
Voodoo lab Analog Chorus
Line6 Delay Modeler
Boss MIJ Phaser

Next to add: THD Hotplate, and Finish customizing my 7 (too lazy).
Updated:

Line6 Modulation Modeller
POD Pro for computer/practicing

Next on Deck: More Studio Gear, Genz Benz Shenandoah 200 Acoustic Amp, Some refrets, Remodel a kitchen and build basement studio, rob bank.
Update to the Update:

Same guitars and gear, just added more stuff:

Rivera TBR1SL (whenever it gets here)
Going to be setting up a two amp system
Morley ABY
Tonebone Classic
Boss RC-20 loop station
Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus and Boss Delay on Rivera side

The volume and tonebone will be global, then signal will split with mod and delays available for each side. Probably keep the loop on the Rivera side, but I'll have to experiment with that.

Also added a Roland VS 880ex and powered monitors.

Studio build is starting after New Years so I'll finally have a place to put all this stuff and keep it away from my two little hellraisers.

Good on ya mate, sweet collection you got there. Let's see, 7CT, 8527VV, 3VV, USRG30....am I sensing another member with a maple fetish? My guess is that the 1502 is maple topped as well.
 
#143 ·
thank you.........actually i really prefer the basswood body but the maple tops are sweet.....my ideal guitar would be the 8527 w/ a black basswood body and a threeway swicth like the JPM....... :D.........but i really think it boils down to some kind of collecting sickness rather than fetish as i think about the dollar amounts......lol
 
#144 ·
Just thought Id give you a bit of an update. Considering Im sixteen I dont think Ive done too badly!
The new mesa is nice but is going in for a nice new set of tubes really soon so it should sound amazing :lol:


I really cant take a picture of my SK; I promise, its not faded!

Well, from left to right, theres my kramer imperial with a dimarzio dropsonic in, my UV7BK, my 777SK, and my 550 with EMG's (81/sa/85)

Agreed...I'm with you on the basswood thing as well. I totally prefer it to mahogany, especially in a seven...and maple on top is just a bonus and gives some more snap. Plus it weighs less, the older I get the more that matters.
