guitars

Gibson Faded SG, Fender Telecaster, Epiphone Joe Pass Emporer II, Yamaha Classicals and Acoustics...and soon a Hamer SATF

Amps

Marshall JCM800 Half Stack, AMPEG Half Stack

Pedals (in no order)

old noise gate, MXR Dyna Comp, Fender Tuner, DOD Phaser, DOD Reissue dist, Vintage Small Stone, Holy Grail Reverb, Protone Thruster, DigiTech Synth Wah, Boss EQ, Arion Tubulator, Octave Pedal, WAH, KAZOOKA, DigiTech DigiDelay, H20 chorus/echo, and others I cant remember right now.

My rig:

A home made poplar bodied guitar with rail
humbuckers, 'd' tuner, piezo transducer and about a
dozen switches and knobs. I also have a white
telecaster with black hardware. Looks kind of artsy
under the coloured lights. All hardware and necks on
both guitars are from various guitar parts suppliers.

I have an old "Soundtank" distortion pedal. I think
Ibanez made them back in the 80's. Got it at a used
goods shop for cheap.

For an amp, believe it or not, I'm using an old record
player that I got at a garage sale. It's one of the old
kind that were used in schools for years. I plug into
the "aux in" and it sounds beautiful. It's good for a
laugh but all laughing stops when they hear the tone.

I'm currently between acoustics. I want to get a
twelve string soon.

edit: I almost forgot, I also have an Epiphone Les
Paul Jr. with a Ross bass amp. It's currently on loan
to my nephew. I want it back but don't have the heart
to ask for it since he's obviously fallen in love with it.

I stick a Dean Hardtail Standard through a Behringer GMX212 (2x60). It's loud enough for my purposes and the Dean is one of the most perfect instruments I've ever played.

Cort M600, does anybody out there own a Cort ? I love this guitar.

I play this through a Boss GT6, an old Boss analogue delay and a horrible Peavey bandit amp.ni

The Boss is a great machine.I am on a very tight budget so this is the perfect machine,great sound and reletively cheap.The syth sounds are great with a bit of tweaking and the 'tracking' is a big improvement on the GT5. Many a drunken evening blasting out Riding the Scree !!

I got a bunch of stuff:

STAGE GEAR:
Korg 01w/fd Pro
Alesis QS6.1
Korg DW-8000 (in need of replacement due to busted processor )
Arp/Solina String Ensemble (due to be retired!)

Yamaha PSR-400 used as a controller keyboard for an EMU Vintage Keys Pro
Roland SP606
Alesis AirSynth
Ultimate Stands, miscellaneous pedals, Behringer Mixer, Digital MIDI patchbay, Shure mics
Roland KC-550 Keyboard Amp

By the end of the year I should have a Roland PK5 pedal MIDI controller, a Kurzwiel SP88X Stage Piano, and a replacement DW-8000 & EX-8000.  Next year I plan on a MiniMoog Voyager!

RECORDING GEAR:
Roland VS2400 16-channel, 24-track virtual studio, with Roland SI24 control surface, mouse, keyboard, and flat screen monitor. 
Two Roland DS50 reference monitors
Raxxess Producer's Station
Two Behringer 48-point patch bays
Behringer Compressor and stereo 21 band graphic EQ
numerous computer based programs and soft synths

I'm concentrating on keyboard stuff this year, but I hope to have a new headphone amp, 16 channel snake, and monitor stands by the end of the year...if I can restrain myself from buying too many prog CDs!

speaking of... has anyone here ever made their own effects?
I'm an Electrical Engineering student and I built my own boost pedal this summer.  the prospect of building my own effects pedals seems like a lot of fun and I want to do it more often.
does anyone have experience with this?

I only use a Vox ToneLab SE - and my guitar. It's all I need ... and it covers a lot of sounds and effects.

For guitar, I use a Gibson '72 Les Paul or a Peavey Raptor Plus EXP through a Black Cat Moan/Wah, Ross distortion, Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone Phase Shifter, and a Digitech Digiverb, all into a Peavey TransTube 258 EFX or a Behringer GMX210. 

For guitar, I use a Peavey Foundation, Squire P-bass Special, Peavey Milestone IV, and soon a Rogue LX200BF fretless, all ito a Peavey Bassic 112 (low-end), which feeds a Peavey MicroBass (high-end).  And then I will reroute my effects loop into the bass amp.

A bunch of keyboards (11 or so, mainly Korg, Yamaha and Novation), 2 Pods (Bass and Guitar XT Pros), Westone Thunder 1A, Ovation and Fender Katana Bass. I don't use my amps these days, but I've got a Laney 45 that gets a superb sound when combined with the Westone, and a Yamaha B-100 combined with a Peavey 2x10 and 1x18 Black Widow cab for el basso profundo - and with that setup, it gets pretty profundo!

These all feed into a 3Ghz HT Wintel PC running Sony Acid 5.0, equipped with an aging Echo Gina sound card.

Pretty simple for me:

Epiphone SG (cherry red)

Traynor YCV-40 tube amp (it's like having a Fender Deluxe and a Marshall Plexi in one amp, tone for days!)

Yamaha Magic Stomp multi-effects pedal

Volume Pedal

 

For Recording:

PC with Cubase SE software (up to 48 tracks audio and unlimited MIDI)

Alesis Multi-Mix 16-Channel USB/Audio mixer

A ton of VST Soft-Syths (Mellotrons, Clavinet, Organs, e-pianos, Mini-Moog and ARP 2600 synths to name a few)

I still have all my old keyboards which include - ARP AXXE (needs to be repaired), Korg PolySix (likewise) Roland D50 (works fine !) Memorymoog (at the repair shop - 18 months now!) Fender Rhodes Suitcase 88 (needs a service) Honer Clavinet (also requires a service) & finally a Kurzweill K2600x which works perfectly ! I hope to one day get the money together to get the old keyboards up & running (ha ha) as they all have unique sounds which can inspire a sudden riff !!
