Jason,
That's out of hand!
POWER
anyway,
cleaning out the lab before my folks come to visit over new years....
I came across this Marshall 9000 series rack mount pre-amp that some had given me in exchange for a ride......said it was broken........."lights up but no sound..........
on the pile it went, that was like almost 2 years ago.
Anyway, I bet he was trying a dc power supply cuz this thing works great!
So as of today it's a realistic warehouse p.a. with the marshall pre-amp into a mesa/boogie 4x12, 100w open top/ 90w closed bottom,  epi-paul custom straight in!
Normally, 100w bassman into a rockhaus/sonic 4x12 with the ol' c-70's
dist + clone or a C.A.-T.S.F.
with my choice of a DD-6 or DOD-680 (awesome dirty ass slap-back!)
boss OC-2 (maxed, always maxed!)
and an old crackle-ridden crybaby, strictly zappa style, for notch
all other effects are just for recording and learning.
stuff in rotation,
jcm 800 superlead-50w with 6550 power tubes
ampeg vt-60 head
dod-670
uni-cord super-fuzz
"passive"ring mod (yes it works!)
thing modulator in a treadle pedal
ds-1 (virgin & modded)
CE-2
rockman distortion generator
HP-1 "clone"
jerkulator
digitech xp-100 whammy-wah
ETC. ETC. junk, junk, crap!

I like the blue LEDs on the dog.  Snarling Dogs uses red ones on their pedals, and quite frankly, the blue ones shown here look better. :wink:

My "rig", for want of a better word, is like a soup du jour.

Primary guitars are a 64-ish Epiphone Coronet modded to within an inch of its life. (shown in picture #4 here: http://ampage.org/hammer/files/Danotech.pdf) and a Jay Turser Tele with a homewound Strat pickup added for that Nashville Tele thing.  Other things are "in the works" but these two actually function right now.  The Coronet's pickups are homebrew, and it has an on-board preamp.  The Tele has a wiring scheme that achieves both Tele and Strat settings.  Desparately needs a better neck pickup but a real comfortable play.

Primary amps are a tweed 59 Princeton with a JBL 8" instead of the Jensen it came with, a little 2w battery-operated portable shown here: http://ampage.org/hammer/files/Miniamp.zip, and a "real" 59 Bassman that actually doesn't get played very much at all.  The Princeton is used to feed an 8" Leslie speaker.  Started stripping down a cheapo 20W dual 6V6 head last night to turn into a Deluxe of some species, and drive that sweet old 12" Jensen I recently picked up.  I'll believe it when I see it though.

Once there was a pedal-board, but now there is a hodge-podge of lots of things, and were I to gig it would be whatever is working now despite my irrepressible urge to mod and lose my place because of bed-time and interruptions.  I guess a hastily assembled as-much-as-I-need board would consist of my trusty modified Anderton TSF, a modified Anderton Bi-Filter follower, an MXR Envelope filter, a Boss BF-1 flanger, a Line 6 Echo Park, and my homebrew wah.  I suppose there should be a compressor in there somewhere too.

I like guitar cables that are no more than 10' long.

No, not at the moment, but I'm sitting at home playing through it right now and having a blast doing crazy harmonics and changing feedback registers, all at a reasonably low volume.

It's a little too outrageous for my little candy-ass cover band.

Well...

My brother is a luthier, so my main instruments are both built by him - an ash thinline (semi hollow) tele with handwound tele pickups, and a solid mahogany tele w/ handwound split humbuckers and series/parallel switches for each one.

And, of course, I am a part of this here forum, so almost all of my effects are my own builds (only the reverb + volume are not):

OS comp w/ Mark Hammer's mods->
AMZ minibooster->
LPB2->
Bluesbreaker clone->
FD2 clone (w/my tweaks...)->
homegrown double muff fuzz->
Green Ringer->
Tremulus Lune->
Ernie Ball volume->
3rd Rome Repeater (two delay pedals in one box - PT-80 on one side, Tricked out Ibanez DL5 on the other)->
Holy Grail Reverb->
Homebuilt and modified 5e3 Deluxe amp

ok, so I play with lots of effects...who wouldn't when they're so fun to build, and oh so affordable (not to mention the freaky sounds i can make with all of them!). ;)

  Since this got dug...I'ts amazing how much I've changed since I typed it.
  Here's what I typed:
  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.
  _____________________________________________________________
  I haven't used any of these amps for months. RCA and DYNA need overhaulD, the Marshall has been in 'storage'.
  I'm using Tweed Deluxe[s, [built a couple 5e3's] a clone or two, ea.w/2x12'' GB cab.
  Loud Little Monsters, I love giggin' and playing them in the living room/pracitce.
  The one I use most has JJ's 6v6 set, 12ay7EH, 12ax7 Tung Sol, 5y3 Sovtek .. and tightened up bass...I love this amp.

AlteredSounds...

I hear ya with the Sigma acoustic...  I've got a Sigma HDR-24H that I bought just to have an acoustic that I could travel with...  turns out that it is one of the most amazing sounding acoustics I've ever heard....  sound guys are always saying its the best sounding acoustic they've worked with.

I even did an acoustic show with another 'national artist' a year ago.  He brought his own guitar (high end McPherson) and wound up switching to my guitar half-way through his set because he thought it sounded better.
