Ok, this thread hasn't been done in a while here so I'm curious to see what hardware setups people have - helps to get ideas etc. Also, if we see something of interest in someone elses setup it might be helpful to get some first hand feedback.
The question is what 'hardware' have you got in your home studio/setup?
-------------
As you can see, my studio is mostly hooked up for direct recording - not much time or space for mic'ing up big amps etc.
Here's the bulk of it:

# 1
I'm at work at the moment so I can't quote all my model numbers and stuff but the basics are:
Instruments:
Epiphone SG with DiMarzio humbucker passive pickups
Jordan Strat with EMG Pro-series (David Gilmour ones) single-coil active pickups. This has a standard width, fat neck.
Jordan Strat with EMG Gold Jordan passive pickups (this is the one that I am having trouble with the wiring at the moment). This has a standard width, thin neck.
Martinez western-style acoustic with built-in pickup system and EQ.
Keyboard:
KeyController 49 (not sure on the brand but it was a very cheap thing)
DAWs:
StealthPlug which I use when recording guitar.
Lexicon Lambda which I use when recording MIDI and vocals
Mics:
Behringer condenser microphone.. not sure which model sorry.. it was reasonably cheap but has a great sound quality. I have a boom mic-stand so I can have it in front of me while I read lyrics directly from the computer screen.
Monitors/Headphones:
Behringer M16 (I think) powered monitor speakers.
Sony CD-250 (I think) studio headphones
Amplifiers:
Fender 120w Princeton Stereo Chorus (2 x 10")
Fender 65w (not sure on model number as I have only had it a short time) (1 x 12")
Pedals:
BOSS ME-5
Zoom G1X
Jim Dunlop (Hendrix) Crybaby Wah
Wish List:
Bass guitar
A proper strobe tuner
Oh well have to get back to work now.

To be honest, I don't have much in the way of equipment, but here's what I've got:
Guitars:
Ernie Ball Music Man Axis (really the only electric I use these days)
Squier HM
Robin Raider II (currently for sale)
Ibanez EX Series (currently for sale, but I'm considering doing a Frankenstein job on it instead)
Ovation CDX-44 acoustic/electric
Washburn D-12 acoustic
Jasmine acoustic (don't know the model, but it's the dirt cheap dreadnaught)
Various guitars that have been handed down by family members and my first real electric with a plywood body and fine roseplastic fingerboard, none of which are really in playing condition
Bass:
1976 Carvin CB100 (the closest thing to a "vintage" guitar that I own)
I'll probably buy a new bass at some point this year, but I don't know what
Amps:
Crate GT-80 combo
Marshall MG10KK practice amp
Crate G10XL practice amp (recently died, but trying to resurrect it)
Various effects, etc:
Digitech RP250
DOD Death Metal distortion pedal
Zoom 505
Morley wah
Digitech Whammy II
Recording:
Fostex X-28H 4-track (my wife bought it for me years ago, and regrettably, I've never used it as much I should have)
Digital recorder probably coming this year as well

Off the top of my head..
Guitars:
1975 Fender Tele (my baby- original case and tags)
1984ish Fender Strat (original case and tags)
2004 Mexican Strat
Jackson Dinky MG, modded with DiMarzios (have a really cool Coffin case for this guitar)
Ibanez RG 320/321- can never get the model straight
Brian Moore i91
Epihone SG Deluxe (really my son's guitar)
Gretsch...RockJet(?) my very first elctric- looks like a Les Paul- must be over 40 yrs. old, and the neck was glued on. Dropped it, neck came off, just keeping it for sentimental reasons
Cheap Yamaha acoustic
Ovation AE-28 that sounds like crap
NY Pro acoustic- very cheap, but plays great
Other instruments:
Bunday alto sax
Bundy flute
Yamaha electric keyboard
Pedals:
Boss noise-gate
Ibanez Tube Screamer
Behringer T0800 overdrive/sustainer
Behringer tuner pedal
Behringer reverb pedal- think dr100 is the model
Digitech Death Metal distortion
Digitech compressor/sustainer
Electro-Harmonix phase shifter
Dunlop Wah
couple others I can't think of right now
Amps
1975 Fender Champ (tube!)
Roland Micro-Cube combo amp
Peavey Envoy, w/2 button footswitch
Home-built P4 computer where I put a Creative Soundblaster Audigy front bay for line-inputs. Don't know why I don't plug in there more often. With the cheapie software I have, it's pretty good.
Tools:
a million allen/hex wrenches
wire cutter
neck cradle (think that's what it's called- the thing you lay the neck on for string changes/setups)
screw drivers
Music Books/study guides
except for the requisite song-books many of us probably have, a mess of books on theory, none of which I fully understand.
A few DVD videos- Dickie Betts style of playing, Zakk Wylde Hardcore pentatonic, Marty Fridman
Mess of miscellaneous crap. More cases and gig-bags than I can count- good for hiding my study guides I can never find. And the list goes on. Just got a bunch of wall hangers, so I can get my guitars out of their cases/stands and up on the wall where I can just look at 'em and wonder where all my money went!
