Since this is the Gear forum and all...

I thought I would ask everybody what type of gear they use. Personally, I have a 120 watt Blue Voodoo half stack. My effects I usually use vary from my Bad Horsie Wah Pedal (of course) to my Creamy Dreamer sustain/distortion pedal. If you don't have any gear but want to or are thinking about getting some feel free to post that too.

I'm off like a herd of turtles in the moonlight!

All I need is my Jackson KE3 and a small practice amp.

I'm going to be getting my Marshall 1960 with a 100 watt head soon, I hope... Until then I'm playing out of a JBL amp designed of Public Address, or a Peavey somethin'-or-other. I use a Zoom 505 Multi-FX processor and a Digitech Whammy Wah.

Can't beat Marshall stacks for sound. I tried Fender, Crate, Peavey but the kick just ain't there. What else....
Boss ME-11 effects, Cry Baby Wah, Roland Guitar synth...somewhere in the crawlspace I got an old Heathkit Fuzz Box (big oooh!!) that I actually assembled myself.(bigger oooooh!!!) that sounds like the lead guitar from the Rockford Files theme. (no way!!)

Im using a Strat througha Laney 60 watt combo. I also use a Zoom 505. Im planning on getting a new guitar in a year or so. Either an Ibanez or something. Not sure yet.

I use a Line6 AX2 212 amp with a '78 Gibson Les Paul, a modified beatup Strat, a Jazzmaster, and a homemade "Miller" guitar for the electric rig. A Stone practice amp (if any of you find another one, tell me) and a Fender Princeton practice amp.

For acoustics i have a '74 Fender Redondo (the ones with a strat neck), a 50's Harmony, a Jason, a Takemine classical electric, a Yamaha AEX acoustic/electric, and for recording i use a '78 Fender Precision Bass, a mandolin, and a Peavey bass i need to sell.
Also here and not mine are a Strat with hot rails and a jackson stealth.

UPDATE!!! I've now decided to get Rocktron's Ganiac. I played around with one the other day and it was incredible, it adds that crunch that so many metal guitarists strive for. Woohoo!!!

I'm off like a herd of turtles in the moonlight!

I play A Kramer Striker FR422 and one of those cheap Hamer Slammers (with two humbuckers and a single) in which I've put a Duncan Custom SH-5 (bridge), a zoom gfx 707 (takes a long time to figure outhow to get a good sound out of it, but I finally did, but it'smore of a practice tool anyways), a Morley Sapphire Flanger, an Arion Digital Delay, a Danelectro Fab-Tone, a Peavey Classic 20 (handmade all tube practice amp), and a cheap Yorkville half-stack w/ a 150 watt head & a 2x12 angled cabnet wih celestions (the amp's distortion is very muddy and bad, but it has an exellent clean channel due to it's solid state design, so I use pedals to get the sound I want). I'm selling my half stack and getting a Crate GX-1200 full stack w/2 4x12 cabs and a 120 watt head in like two weeks though. I'm also planning on getting a Johnson J-Station, I was just about to order one when I got the AMS Catalouge in the mail that has the Crate stack I just mentioned on it.

I decded not to get the stack due to it's size and weight (I'd have to buy a van to haul it around), instead, I'm buying a Blue Voodoo 60 watt 2x12 combo.

I know am upgrading my bridge pickup with a JB Jr.

my main everyday set up is a Fender Jazz Bass w/ EMG pickups into a Peavey Session Bass head and an older Peavey 2-15 cabinet. I can relate to all the stack transportation problems, that's alot to move around. But anyway, I also have an azden wireless and a gemini powerconditioner in my rack w/ the amp head. I also use a stock J Bass V, and I own a Strat and a Tele.

For pedals I have a DOD Bass Grung (which died, I'll be replacing it w/ a DS-1 I think), and a Morely Bass Wah

I use a Sovereign guitar which i bought for $150 CDN, a 15 Fender Squire practice amp, $5 strap, Fender Super 250 10 guage strings, a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal, and my new Marshall Jackhammer distortion pedal. Dunlop picks all the way

I've been playing for 7 months with an Epi G-310, boss octave, boss blues driver, dod chorus, and a fender frontman 25r, which actually has a cool distortion, as soon I'm good enough maybe in another 7 months i'll go all out and get a new rig, that'd be sweet. I'd love to have a Tele, a ton of effects, and something by marshall.

i have a crappy fender mexican strat with about a million chips in it, seymour duncan hot rails in the neck position (bad choice, should have got the bridge position one...)ernie ball super slinky 9-42 strings, zoom box (never use it, it sounds crappy when you turn it up, sounds fake) a good crybaby wah wah, and a kick @$$ marshall half stack with a jcm 900 head and a 1960A cabbie which i lovingly call "gozer" . (its all torn up in the back from trying to fit it in my trunk, i put duck tape on it and wrote gozer on it with a pentagram)

I love my setup right now... I have a bogner extasy 100w head with a bogner 4x12 flat front cab. The clean tone is absolutely AMAZING. I run through a lexicon MPX G2 with the MPX R1 controller. I love that processor. I also have a small effects board with a crybaby wah, phase 90, boss super shifter, dan-echo, and an electro-harmonix phase/chorus. For guitars, I mess around with any one of the following: a Jackson sl-1, a lone-star strat, a custom shop strat, a PRS swamp-ash special, a PRS mccarty I, a PRS mccarty II, a gibson les paul custom, a gibson howard roberts fusion special (killer jazz tone!), and i'm dying to get my phil collen signature series guitar. So basically I have way to many guitars. But I love my setup.

Update.... i just got a '65 Fender Bassman head and it's looking like that will be my new amp of choice. Woo hoo.

I've been using the same rig since the mid-60's, a 1965 blackface Fender Super Reverb and a 1968 Gibson Les Paul Custom Fretless Wonder. I've tried difrferent pedals over the years, but always ended up plugging straight into the amp and pushing the volume until it starts to sing. I've also tried other guitars over the years and my main guitar right now is a 1999 Fender American Deluxe Strat (love those noiseless pickups). I play in a contemporary Christian church band and can't dime the amp anymore, so I finally gave in and bought a TS9 Tube Screamer, which sounds good; I wish that it had a little more attack. I also added a Danelectro Chorus and Delay to thicken the sound of the Strat. The Dano pedals are some of the quietest I've ever used. One of the reasons that I quit using pedals in the past was the noise - I finally figured out that the preamp of my Super is so hot that the noise generated by transistors and microprocessor was always audible when playing quietly. That's why I like the Ibanez TS9 and the Dano pedals. I tried a Zoom 505 which was a lot of fun, but still put out a lot of noise that was noticeable with my Super. I tried the 505 through other (newer) amps and didn't notice the noise.

I use a Cort CL 1500 through a Boss ME-30 to a Marshall valvestate VS65R. I'm planning on buying a JCM 2000 TSL 100, but my bidget isn't big enough, yet. If I have enough money, I will also buy some other effects, bet heh, I'm only sixteen.

A great amp can get a lousy guitar sound great
A lousy amp will make a great guitar sound lousy
A great player will sound great with anything

As far as amplifiers go, i use a 100w peavey "bandit 112" and when I plug in with my acoustic I use a Fender Acoustasonic SFX 100w. And for effects I use my DOD Tec4 because of my lack of anything better. I want a wah pedal, I'll probably end up with a Bad Horsie.
