Tons of stuff so the primary rig first:

Guitar
1982 Robin RH2-BB Guitar - Ebony - Heavily Modified
(this is one of the early ones the guys built in Texas)
(2) Duncan Black backs w/coil taps, phase switch & new pots (Borens).
Real Floyd Rose Trem & Lock Nut - Bill Conklin did the body route and install.
Re-fret & added 22nd fret - Conklin again - "not much neck meat
there for #22", (but it makes a nice vehicle to the high E).
Progressive Scalloped 1 piece maple neck, Robin reverse hockeystick.
Scallop is shallow near nut (almost not there) and gets deeper up the neck.
Neck pocket reworked - cleaned out all paint and re-angled the pocket to allow
steaper neck angle to a high set Floyd for big pull-ups, and 100% neck to
body connection (no shims here).
Lightning white marble on black body.
Dean Markley - 10-46 strings
Bags and bags of Dunlop Tortex .5 mm picks

Amps
(this is my live stereo rig)
Two - Peavey Classic 50's 2-12's w/ Blue Marvels on road cabinets.

Effects (Live)
Boss GT3 Multi Effects w/ 2xSub CTL pedals and Roland EV-5 Sub Expression Pedal.
(The GT-3 is wired in a three wire mode to one of the Classics' preamps,
then the Left and Right outs go to the power amp ins of the 2 amps for stereo)
Ibanez Tube Screamer
Dunlop Special Ed Crybaby
Peavey channel footswitch

Secondary Gear

More Guitars
Gibson '70 LP Standard - Ebony - pretty stock- My first real axe
Early-90's Fender Strat-White - autographed by Kenny Wayne Shepard.
(like Doc, I picked this one up in Des Moines)
Epiphone LP - Ebony w/Black backs and coil taps
Yamaha RGX - This is one nice axe - Solid Mahogony back,
nice bound bookmatched flame maple arch top in a cherry
suburst, 24 fret maple neck w/bound ebony fretboard
(that's right, not rosewood), Yami speed lace Tremelo, sculpted neck
joint, 1 Humbi, 2-1 coilers. I can't find any info on this
particular guitar anywhere, even through Yamaha so if
anyone can tell me more about the RGX's, please do. I
bought it yard sale for $150 - bet it listed for $1,000+.
2-Peavey 24 fret Tracers w/Kahler trems. Both are 1 Humbi, 2-1 coilers.
These have been totally reworked from the ground up. Set for Drop D and 1/2 down.
Ibanez Vintage 12 string acoustic (I don't play much acoustic but the 12 sounds sweeeeet).
Early (and I mean EARLY) 1900's Supertone Banjo.
Great Grandpa Presley never rocked it like I do. Actually, this was my first "guitar".

More Amps
Peavey 2-12 VT Mace w/ 2- 4x12 cabs leftover from my Molly Hatchet days.
210 Watts, 10 Black Widows and 7 1/2 feet of stack!
Peavey Bandit 112 - 1982, bought it cause the Mace was
so damn heavy and caused drain bamage. Huh?
60's 50W Marshall w/1-60a 4-12 greenback loaded cab.
I sometimes run one of the Classic's through the cab or
use the Marshall as the pre-amp in a three wire GT-3 setup for recording.
Why use MS amp-models in the Boss when you got the real deal?
A Pignose for the dock at the lake.

Effects
Another Boss GT-3 (sometimes used in the EXT OD loop of
the first one to gain access to two different effects from the same group).
I also use this GT-3 with my keyboards.
Digitech PDS 1700 Stereo Chorus/Flanger
Digitech PDS 1000 Digital Delay
MXR Phase 90
Boss OD-1 & 2 Overdrive
Boss CS-2 Compression Sustainer
Big Muff Pi
Earth Research Graphic Fuzz (that's a real old one good for the Sabbath tones)
A huge box of other stompers (lots of MXR's and Boss)
Boss Dr. Rythym and Yamaha RX Drum Machines

Keyboards
Yamaha Baby Grand Piano
Magnavox Organ (? model) - I'm not going to try and move the damn thing
to get the model number but it's a big double layered job with an octave of bass pedals.
I headphone out through the 2nd GT-3 and shut everything off but
the Bass pedals for that Yngwie power trip. - Pipe that through the Mace.
Or fire up the whole board, run my GT-3 Rotary patch and knock out
some Deep Purple, Boston, old Joe Walsh....Rock on!

I won't cover all the computers (I have 4 laptops and two towers), monitors,
mics, midi, mixers, outboard racks, Digi002 setup here.
This is about the tools that make the sounds!
I once thought a "Sweeping Arpeggio" was an Italian janitor.
