amp 1
 Marshall MkII 50w [vintage reissue], greenbacks in Marshall V/R cab
 amp 2
 Dyna ST70 with 'clone yer own' AC30TB preamp
 Amp 3
 RCA Victor stereo amp 4 x EL84 output, and 5 other tubes [test/jam amp] All these are Tube amps.
 Also 2 x 10'' speaker cab, and two, 2 x 12'' cabinets
 Les Paul [Epiphone, 2nd fret redressing] w/PAF and Split Coil Dimarzio [neck].
 Washburn with 3 SC pickups.
 The MkII is an 'evil' amp, Hard Rock is it's forte'
 The Dyna is much 'easier' and smoother sounding for clean, doesn't crunch like the MkII
 The RCA is a well mannered nice sounding tube amp.
 ___________________________________________
 I'm usually running some kind of FF type circuit, Reverb/Echo [Boss RV3]. For blues, 60's concert guitar and some hard rock, the FF [type] with the guitar rolloff has become a staple for me to use.
 Since I have a FF 'divided' to switch to FuzzOctave perfectly [Tycho Octavia Pos Gnd.] I've been liking to have Ring Mod and Octave [does a mean fuzz sound, little or no octave with guitar up]. With these two only I can get from bright clean, through the blues tones, to hard rock to super saturated FUzz, Octave, Ring Mod...very nice for playing dynamically...switching a little and dialing from guitar...
 Then there's the Uni-vibe/Phaze 90, one of these is also in the 'staple usage' category [used alot]].
 Also I have a SS phazer with speed control on treadle pedal, very cool.
 Liquid Drive takes over for the general hard rock, thick Distortion sound [DIST+Type] that I like. It may stray in values from shown schematic [Fuzz Central].
 'Double Muff type thing' is the new contender, quite impressive, is in the FF position...for two days striaght now  :lol: .
  Also I use
 Big Muff Pi
 Uglyface
 18
 Supreaux
 6 stage Phazer
 BlackFire
 Obsidian
 Dist+ [Fetzer hammers input]
 oh...Jfet Stratoblasters I think there are 3 of these, either bringing a phazer to unity+ output, or hammering a Fuzz's input, also I have one on the 'other side of the bypass switch on the FF,...Clean or Boost can be had on the other side of the FF switch, so I can also use it to pump up the Tycho...havent't tried that yet. The Booster is on a Push Pull DPDT pot, on the other side the FF's stopmswitch, tycho also has it's DPDT.
 May sound wired wierd, but I like it, 3 in 1 effects are nice, take extra tuning, maybe an 'extra' input gain control, nice and EZ to use, once they do what you want them to, only take 2 jacks one extra cable and PS.
 Wah...I need to work up one of mine to kill, as it is they kill, but for the wrong reasons. :twisted:

[squidsquad]

As I've gotten older...I'm more concerned with tone...and keeping it simple.

American Strat...modded = graphite saddles (I no longer break 4 strings a night).  Neck shortened a millimeter...nut re-positioned (finally in perfect tune!). Switch to add the bridge PU to any combo. Tone controls removed (sounds SWEET!)

I have a '74 Twin...vibrato disabled.

A Blackstone Appliances Overdrive>Mosfet Boost>Rocket Fuzz>EA Trem.
Last 3 DIY of course.

On occasion...I drag out the old EH MM & Electric Mistress for run-away echos & an organ sound (Telestar)...but they suck tone badly.

When I do concerts w/The Turtles...Strats & a Twin are provided...I just bring the Blackstone.  Their tunes are all clean...but sometimes we do  Zepp & ZZ for fun.

I do have a nice pic of the setup, but it was ripped off 'guitar geek', so I won't post the URL

[slotbot]

Heres my setup for when i play bass (keyboard etc...)  for one band:

small casio pt-100 keyboard -> whammy 4 -> Dan electro vibrato -> boss hyper metal -> ch1 of a simple mixer i made

spector bass (low end model, has an "emg-ssd" pick up) -> ch2 of the same simple mixer

microphone -> minidisc player -> ch3 of the mixer

THEN the OUT of the mixer  -> digitech x series bass-synth -> bazz fuss (with a few changes) -> digetech delay (sometimes. rearly used though) -> boss ge-10 equalizer -> traynor YBA mkII -> ampeg 4 by 12.

This setup seems like a lot but its relatively simple once you start using it. I use the whammy on the keyboard mostly just to drop the pitch if i want to because its only a little 2 octave guy. (10 bucks!)

The band i use this in is mostly improvisation so have  a range of effects is sometimes useful.

Also sometimes i run the mini disc player into the whammy. which is great when the samples are voice.

The only thing about this setup is that it dosnt use much of the things i have made. (just 3 items). But its always changing so maybe soon it will.

[nightingale]

ive been using this one for a while:

usa tele x2, 52 RI tele, or 68 gretsch corvette-->

old crybaby wah w/ mods--> liquid drive--> rodent --> tube reamer--> meastro echoplex-->boss tu-2[to split my signal to the amps]

i play a 68 twin reverb, and a 1971 traynor ygl-1[basically a twin] stacked.
the traynor handles the lows/mids, and the twin on top does the mids/highs.

i play tele's but i stay on the  neck p-up, i prefer a pretty "thick" tone.
i keep my main rig at a practice spot, but i will post a pic the next time i bring it home.

nice thread btw,

My baby;
1952 Kalamazoo  Sn 503998

Modified bridge to Fender roller bearing set up with face mount tremolo bar (pro no slack stay-in-tune-all-night set up)

Keep in mind that this guitar was the model that Gibson used to make (copy) their electrics from as Gibson bought out Kalamazoo in late 1952.

This guitar is a 22 fret dream machine with a rosewood body and natural maple neck, smoothest thing I have ever set my hands on and it is not for sale.

My power;
1979 Pevey 900watt 9channel… the only thing it won’t do is fry eggs and cook toast.
Kustom 200 watt 4 channel….analog my ears away.  Don’t know what year.

My voice;
Two 4x10 Pevey Towers and two 1x15 Pevey Black Widows and one 400watt cone.

My character;
EP 200 rack-mount analog delay with reverb modified to 1.5 seconds 3 umbilical pedals
535 Crybaby
Boss Turbo OD
Vesta Fire Stereo Flanger (Broken and about to be repaired)
Vestex Digital Reverb
MXR Clone noise gate DIY just finished

And I am working on the DIY Tremulus Lune and some type of Compressor is next.  Can’t play “I Need You” by Skynyrd without a compressor.

My Brain;
HP 1.8 gig hz,  256 mb, 60 GB with Music Creator 2003 and many extra music related software.  If I need an extra musician, I just create a CD or program to take his/her place.

The playground;
A brand new 50x32 metal pole barn with concrete floor, insulated, heat, with closest neighbor about 800 ft and they like our music, next neighbor is out of site. Protected by undisclosed locks, alarm, and day/night vision monitor wireless to my work PC.

The final frontier;

I have about thirty musical instruments for which 23 are violins.
This is just a hobby gone wild and we are now looking for one and maybe even two rhythm guitarist that can play some lead as we are trying to finish a full set to start doing gigs.  Just got our drummer, and she is real good, Bass player played in Country Band for 8years on the road, Buck Heth Band, Lead Singer needs work but he is coming along real well and he mixes our sets in between verses and he owns the barn. He is just now finding his sound and needs to not sing so loud and let the mike do the work. His style is just fine. I play lead and don’t mind sharing lead with a good rhythm player.  Some songs leave no choice like a lot of Skynyrd which we love to play. I also play Fiddle, Bass, Keyboard, Drums, and basically anything I have ever wanted to play (there is more). I read and write music in all Clefts and have considerable formal training and music education.  Tabs are like gold, if the tabs are good. I recommend that all the guitarist use tabs (if available) along with a CD and Slow Blast or Slow Gold for home work.  Then, after the musician knows their part the way they are supposed to play it, improvising in the spirit of the original artist is welcome. We play anything that sounds good and have a tendency for Classic Rock.  We have been together for one year and haven’t named the band yet but it looks like the name will be “63078” which is a zip code that no longer exists and has a lot of meaning to a few of us. It looks like we are going to loose our Chord Guitarist as he got married this summer and you figure out the rest. He still comes to practice occasionally, and brings his wife.  All of us are around 40 but age is not an issue with us, willingness to learn and ability are. The most distracting thing we have ever ran into is guys that want to jam real loud, and also who keep jamming while the rest of us are trying to take a break and discuss the music.  My brother, an excellent guitarist, does this and he is no longer part of the band.

That’s my set up and it keeps growing.

[KORGULL]

Main setup:
Carvin X-100B amp with a Boss VF-1 digital multi-effect unit running through the by-passable effects loop.
Stock Marshall 4x12 cabinet.
Ibanez 540S guitar w/EMG81 bridge pickup. Tone control removed and volume moved to tone's location to get it out of the way of my hand.
"Mako" BC Rich Bich - Japanese copy made in mid 80's w/EMG 81 pickup.
Boss Metal Zone.
Boss noise gate.
Boss PQ-4 parametric EQ pedal
Roland guitar synth.
Hornet fuzz.
Jimi Hendrix wah.

MXR Doubleshot distortion.
Dunlop Original Crybaby.
Boss DS-1 - soon to be modded.
Boss CS-3 compression pedal.
Behringer Ultra-G direct box.
Pro-Co Rat
(Gus Smalley)NPN Boost
ESP guitar
Alvarez 12 string acoustic. Ibanez acoustic.
+ a bunch of studio and synth gear...

[col]

Epiphone SG fitterd with a super distortion pick up at the bridge. Occasionally (if I break a string) use a Kay LP copy resprayed in fluorescent green with leopard spots and modded to have one volume only, no tone. Also occasionally a Hondo 2 LP copy sim to above but fluorescent pink leopard. Both standby guitars have replacement pick ups. Have an explorer which I love but the pick ups are too polite, I have used it mostly for recording clean sections.
Amps are either a Laney AOR 50 or AOR 100 into a 4x12 or 2x12 depending on the venue and if I can be bothered to pick up the 4x12 from the practice rooms. I find that the 50w amp has the better sound of the two as I can drive it harder.
Current pedal line up from amp to guitar is a Boss super chorus, home built jumbo tonebender clone, foxy lady clone, rangemaster clone (negative earth version). Also occasionally use Marshall Jackhammer and Snarling Dogs Black Dog (used at last recording sesssion).
At home use above or positive earth germanium tonebender clone, easy face and rangemaster clone into Laney hardcore 30 amp.
I have built numerous other pedals that I have not yet found a use for in the band situation such as a Metal effect pedal which makes a superb tremelo/vibrato at slow rates and an auto wah.
Bass player uses a home made super Bazz Fuzz which really drives her sound. She is currently using my Ibanez blazer bass as her Aria MAB 20 isbeing repaired after the headstock snapped. Her amp is a Laney 150W into a 4x10.
Our other guitarist uses a Carlsboro 80w combo with a Boss Distortion and a Danelectro chorus pedal (not sure which one).
