Since this is the Gear forum and all...

My everyday setup is a pieced together strat (fender neck, G&L invader HB strat sized pickups, PRS bridge, & a strat style body a luthier made for me) through a whirlwind a/b box hooked up to an all tube Crate TV6210 60watt combo/w 2-10" speakers for lead playing and a Peavey Prowler (all tube 45watt 1 12")for rhythm/clean tone. On the floor I have a Boss delay, a DOD chorus, and a 80s dunlop crybaby. I also have a TS9 Tube screamer from the 80s, but I dont use it any more, since the crate has enough crunch all by itself. When I get into a jazzy/fusion mood I just plug straight into a Carvin SX200 2 12" 100w, which just about the best loudest clean tone Ive heard.

I play a Yamaha EG303 through a marshall 30watt practice amp. It's tough, the action is a couple centimetres off the fretboard, and the only distortion I have is the one through the amp. Maybe if I ever get a job I'll be able to buy some new gear.

I love my acoustic though. It's a Simon&Patrick Pro Rosewood and it's got great tone and volume.

Here goes:
'91 Ibanez RBM1 Voyager w/Duncan Screamin' Demon in the bridge position
Epi Les Paul Custom Black Beauty w/Ibanez HB2 in the bridge position
Ovation Balladeer
Peavey 5150 120W tube head
Marshall 1965B 4x10 cabinet
Marshall 1960A stereo 4x12 cabinet
Digitech RP-14D Multi-effects Amp-modeling floor processor (great for practicing w/out an amp)
Boss OD-1 overdrive (rarely used)
Boss DS-1 distortion (haven't used in at least 5 years)
DOD Wah/Volume pedal (also rarely used)

My Ibanez was made in their Japanese custom shop. This exact model was only produced for one year. The next year they changed the cosmetics and really uglied it up. Then they started producing them in Korea, like most of their guitars, and the quality suffered.

I just sold my Peavey Classic Chorus 212 combo and bought the 5150 head and Marshall 1960A cab. I also just put the Duncan on my Ibanez. Sounds perfect. I'm thinking of picking up a Boss GE-7 EQ pedal soon...

I sold my Marshall halfstack, and got a Mesa/Boogie head and a Marshall 2x12 cabinet. Still keeping the Line6 for home and the Fender Bassman will be A/B'ed for dirty rhythm. Also, I am in the process of selling my 70's P-Bass. I think by thursday it'll be gone... poor thing. Later,

Atomic

Just thought I'd make an update considering my gear has now been totally rearranged. I'm now playing straight through the 5150. And you know... I like it a whole lot more than using all the effects I had at one time. Anybody else change their gear lately?

Man, this post is old.

Yeah, I got rid of that crappy Yorkville last year and got a 120 watt Blue Voodoo half stack.I normally plug straight into it, but I'll occasionally use a delay and a flanger. I'm about to get a Bad Horsie wah (so I can explore some new songwriting posiblities).
I still have the 2 guitars mentioned earlier in this post, but I've added a fixed bridge neck through body Kramer Baretta and a Kramer Vanguard pro (neck through, original Floyd Rose trem, gototh 16:1 tuners, 24 fret rosewood fretboard, Rhoads body style, Seymour Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge, Duncan Pearly Gates in the neck, alder body, etc.., etc...).
I also switched to Dunlop Gator Grip 1.5mm picks a good while back, and I use .10s on the 2 neck through guitars.

Seems like I'm hooked on the Kramers. I tried some ESP, BC Rich, and Ibanez guitars, but I just ended up buying more Kramers.

I'm currently considering either a Marshall AVT 2x12 or some modeling 2x12 (possibly a Crate) so I have something I can fit in my car for band practise. Currently, I have to put my car's top down to fit the Voodoo in it, so there has to be good weather before I can haul it.

i'm using an Ibanez S540FM, Marshall Valvestate 100W amp, boss gt-5, beatup copy fender strat, yamaha LW15c semi acoustic. Hope on buying a LP standard real soon, but the thing is, these guitars cost a fortune !
Have to save up some more !

For going loud I use a Marshall V265 stereo chorus with the Korch 1000AG multieffect. At home for practise I use an old fender champ 12 watt tube amp, overdriven it's getting real loud (i heard the nabours say.)I will never do it away. For the big work I really want an original tube amp. In Holland you can buy Korg, a really great tube amp but expensive. I have an Mexican Fender Strat, it's a good guitar for the price only my frets are worsening. Also I own a Charvel model 4 for fast playing and a Brownsville with three pickups for pieces with different tunings.
For recording on my PC I own a little behringer mixer and a Zoom drum computer. Also I have a keyboard my children won't use anymore.

I use a Japanese '68 Fender Strat reissue(from 1986 I believe), a crybaby wah, a Peavey Ultra-Tube 112, and a POD for the amp. A lot of folks only use them in the studio, I guess(I've done that also), but if you can't afford a Johnson, and want to use different amp sounds, I think it's the way to go. I also use a TakamineEG330(#'s probably not right, it's an old one, though) and aTrace Eliot TA35 for my acoustic. However, I'm planning on going to a Taylor 314CE or a similar Larrivee model. Has anyone got a suggestion as to which one is the best way to go?

Currently I'm using:

Ibanez RG270
Jackson ps3t

Peavey 5150 head
Marshall vs100r combo
Marshall 1936 cab

BBE sonic maximizer

for recording on the computer, I use my Boss ME30

Soon to be mine:

Ibanez RG7321


Greetz, TK

Thought I had posted mine somewhere here but I guess the ol' alzheimer's kickin' in again. Anyway-

1981 Rickenbacker 480 (solid body)
1974 Fender Super Reverb (blackface mods)
198? Marshall MOSFET Lead 100 with 4x10"s
Lectrosonics Maxi Mouse
DOD VGS50 multi fx (used sparingly)
Whirlwind Selector A/B/Y box

Everything purchased new over the years.

My gear is:
Sonora electric guitar unknown model
Fender Deluxe 112
Distortion pedal MT-2 Metal Zone

and i going to buy a jackson dk3 guitar and a wah pedal.

Rather than have somebody start a new thread asking (yet again) who uses what, I thought I'd resurrect this thread and see if anyone else has any new toys. As for me...

I've got a pile of receipts 'this deep' from all the amps and guitars that have come and gone over the last 34 years, but here's what I have at the moment:

19?? Washburn EA20-12B 12-string electric/acoustic
19?? Washburn EA20MTS 6-string electric/acoustic
(mid 80's?) Washburn A-20 6-string electric (weird-looking beast)
(mid 80's?) Odyssey V built better than either the Gibson or Epiphone Vs (sounds better too!)
1986 Yamaha SBG-1000 double cutaway Les Paul copy ("Brand X", my main axe)

[u]Update 13 July:[/u] The 1977 Daijon 12-string acoustic w/Shadow bridge p/u has been sold to someone who appreciates it. Its in good hands, and my collecton is down to an almost reasonable level.


1991-4 Peavey Rock Master tube pre-amps (3 of 'em!)
1977 Ampeg VT-22 120 Watt, 2x12 tube combo
197? Ampeg VT-40 60 Watt, 4x10 tube combo
1997 Gallian-Kreuger Backline 100 100 Watt, 1x12 transistor combo
2002 WeeBeastie 5 Watt home-built experimental amp
197? Garnet 4x10 cabs (2 of 'em)

Plus the usual assortment of stompboxes 'n such, and a Samson CT-3 wireless that I don't use very often, 'cause I get tangled up by the delay it causes.

I use a cheap Fender Squier Affinity Strat, which I replaced the bridge pickup with a Duncan Hot Rails (I love the sound I get from it) through a Peavey Stereo Chorus 212 and a Digitech RP-300 processor pedal. You can get just about every sound you'd ever need through it. I find it easier (and cheaper) to mic your amp rather than buy stacks. To me it sounds just as good.

American Kramer Pacer(in flip flop blue)
Morley Steve Vai Bad Horsie Wah(best wah i've ever used)
Digitech RP 10(with an RP12 upgrade chip)
Marshall JCM 800 Lead Series Combo
Ernie Ball Slinkys 10-52
.88 gauge picks that are custom made with my name on them
Planet Wave guitar leads
and i swear by Fretease for cleaning my strings after use

Custom Shop Les Paul, with EMG active pick ups, 81, and 85
Washburn Dimebag DImebolt, with EMG actives and Floyd Rose
Steinberger L-Model with TransTrem and EMGs
Randall RG-100 half stack with a 4x12 cabinet(better than any Marshall in my opinion)

Jim Dunlop 535Q crybaby Wah

Digitech Whammy pedal
Boss Metal Zone MT-2
Boss Super Chorus
Morley Volume pedal
DOD Effect Processor
MRX 5 band Equilizer

i have and use the hell out of, a peavey wolfgang special, ibanez 7620 7 string, and charvel strat. for amps i use mainly my peavey 5150 combo, but for home i use a crate digital amp. pedals, i use the bad horsie wah (as if it is part of my foot, great pedal!), mxr phase 90, digitech rp3(as soon as my dumbass figures out how to program it), digitech whammy wah, sans amp distortion, rat distortion, dod icebox chorus, dod flanger, and morley pro wah..... no. i didnt intentionally become a wah collector, it just happened! trying to find that killer wah that petrucci gets, thats what caused it!(what is the best wah for that petrucci killer wah sound, anyone know? cause i'll sure as hell add it to my wah collection)....plus i have a tascam 4 trakker. I LIKES MY TOYZ!

Epiphone Nighthawk
Ibanez RG560

Roland JC120
Crate GT80

Boss GT3

Wah Pedal

Daddario 11-49 strings

Very versatile, great sounding setup - can go from metal to rock to fusion to jazz easily

my setup pretty much kicks alot of ass in my opinion
Guitar: ESP LTD 300

Amp: Marshall Valvstate Full Stack

Pedals: Boss Metal Zone, DOD chorus,
Boss Digital Delay/Reverb
Boss Pitch Shifter and dunlop 535 wah
