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... ------------- "I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress..." |

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 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! ------------- Links to musical projects coming soon!!! |
) 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!Posted By: yaksongs

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) ------------- People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction! www.myspace.com/theowlsmusic |

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. |

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? ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

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.

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. ------------- "they locked up a man who wanted to rule the world. the fools they locked up the wrong man." - Leonard Cohen |
