 Topic: What’s In Your Rig? (Your musical rig!)
Posted: July 22 2005 at 23:08 |
|
Tonight I pulled out some old gear, hooked it up, and had a great time
sifting through old presets, and creating some new tones. My guitar rig
is ever-changing, but the staples of it are my Strat, a Line 6 Pod xt,
a Behringer FCB 1010 controller and an ancient Acoustic 165 tube combo.
Tonight I pulled out my old Digitech GSP 2101, dusted it off, placed
the Pod xt in it's effects loop, and shortly discovered that with this
rig I can cover virtually any guitar tone I could think of. I set
about programming the FCB to approximate my pedal board from the
1980's, which I was able to do with the Pod's models and some of the
2101's more arcane delays.
Next thing I knew, I had another new part developing. Funny that, how using old equipment can be inspiring...

Well, Im real excited to talk about this, as I have just added two new kids to the "gear" family!!!! 
First off, I got myself a great Fender stratocaster which plays beautifully, it's in a cream color, with a very strange enigmatic pickguard color, it's got some sort of duncan pickups, looks like minihumbuckers, but Im not sure, though they sound fantastic.
Also, today, (what I actually went to the store to pick up  ) I got myself an E-MU Xboard 49 MIDI controller to play all my awesome mellotron, moog, string synths, etc with. I just barely installed it and played on my mellotron plugins for a few minutes and Im already loving this controller!! I dont think anything really beats it for the money!
Anyways, my guitar rig consists of my Laney VC30 which sounds fantastic, though I always run my guitar into my Digitech GNX processor to get all my custom made effects and tones for specific sounds. Before today, the guitar I mostly played on (electric anyway) was my Epiphone LP Custom with replaced parts, including new Duncan pickups, which I love with all my heart.
Also, the guitar I play most is my acoustic, some sort of rare Takamine model with a cutaway and a preamp in it, I love it to death, and I think it sounds fantastic. I just absolutely adore my equipment, and just like you said it Pam, it all in itself inspires me everyday to come up with great music playing these awesome instruments!

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)

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.

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.

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

I use a 1973 Fender Bullet Deluxe Bass, a Crate BX-100 bass amp, and a few analog pedals: Vox Wah, Maestro Fuzz, and a chorus flanger.

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?

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 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.

What’s In Your Rig? (Your musical rig!)
) Memorymoog (at the repair shop - 18 months now!
) Fender Rhodes Suitcase 88 (needs a service
! 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 !!
