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 :wink: 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!! :twisted:

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.
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)

My wife calls it the "MEGA BOOGIE" :lol: 8)
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 :!:
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.

Guitars are ever-changing. I've actually sold a LOT of what I had in favor of getting a decent amp collection going. I've pretty much settled on my Rick Turner Model 1 and my Relic Strat for the most part so everything else is just for fun. I did just pick up a sweet RG2027X-VV though
Mesa triaxis-g major into a mesa 395 into a trace elliot cab with celestion v30's.Berhinger controller.Bad horsie 2.Mesa subway reverb with 1x12 extension cabinet.Samson wireless.Guitars-various customized rg's-swirled with different pickups and wiring for each.Stock guitars-js6000-rg3120-rgpr2-uscg leather and metal-uv777pbk-j custom 3040-sa 220ex-valley arts studio pro-takamine santa fe acoustic-sr1200 bass.I'll probably sell off most of the stock guitars except for the uv,takamine and bass.I play the customized rg's the most and when I'm finished putting the next 5 together I'll end up with 8.It will be a nice mixture of necks,body woods and electronics.And since they are swirled,everyone will be unique.
