Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

hmmm.....

my les paul, a Driskill Diablo, and a nice strat, through my bassman, a 50w plexi, and maybe an AC30TB. Although i could just forget having different amps, and just have a cranked marshall major stack.... those things were wicked.

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

Ahhh. Time to Wheel out the Cannons! LOL

Luckily, I have all the stuff already, but usually play venues where anything more than a halfstack would look like overkill. Hopefully, that will change in the near future, so can start wheelin out the cannons Gearjoneser style. :laugh2:

Here's the rig I would take out if I were playing Arenas. Would be nice!

Gibson LP 57 Reissue Goldtop
Gibson 3 pup Black Beauty Custom
Gibson honeyburst flametop prem. plus
Fender Reverse Metallic Blueburst strat
Fender 3 color sunburst strat
PRS McCarty. Teal Black
Martin D-28 w/D-TAR acoutstic system.

2 Bogner Ecstasy heads. Metalfront and canefront in a headrack.
I'd have Bradshaw, or me, wire up a switching system attached to a tray
with both rackmount and stompboxes on a midi switcher.
It would have all the rackmount Line 6 effects and most of the Fulltone stompboxes, all wired to a midi switch that also switches channels on both Bogners simultaneously.

4 Bogner 4-12 cabs with the original cane cloth removed and replaced with
the silvery gray Matchless grillcloth.

One Bradshaw midi footswitch, programmed with everything from crystal clean to vintage clean to all Marshall tones, and a sick, sick lead tone.
The tone and versatility of the Ecstasies, along with all the superb sounding FX would be like the history of guitar sounds at the flick of a switch. :smoker:

THIS IS THE RIG THAT WOULD BE MOVED BY OTHERS!
My current rig is all of that scaled down to one halfstack, those FX on a pedalboard, and all I lug no more than 3 guitars to a show.

Here's a link to my gearpage. http://bluestheater.net/gearjoneser.html

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

Amps:
Bogner Ecstasy 100B (the HOLY GRAIL amp as far as I'm concerned)
Diezel Herbert (the new amp that sounds supposedly 50% better than the VH4)
Triamp Mk II (because it looks better than my Mk I, but the tone is killer)
Vox AC30 Handwired RI (the BEST Vox amp ever, hands down)
Matchless Chieftain (looks like the best Matchless tone and I LOVE the Matchless tone)

Guitars:
Gibson Les Paul Standard (w/ SD Antiq.) w/ Transperformance tuning system
Fender Lite Ash Tele (w/ Fralin Blues Specials)
A high end Larrivee Jumbo Acoustic w/ Transperformance tuning system
Custom HSH Guitar w/ Transperformance tuning system and Wilkinson trem
Gibson CS-366
PRS McCarty
PRS Soapbar McCarty
Customized PRS Singlecut w/ Transperformance and PRS Trem
Fender '56 Strat
Dean Faded Denim Hardtail w/ Transperformance
Gibson Goldtop 57 RI w/ Transperformance
Fender Jazzmaster

Pedals:
Teese RMC3 Wah
Klon Gold Centaur
vintage MXR Phase 90
Boss CE-1
Maxon AD-900
Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere
Ibanez TS-808 RI
Boss DD-3

Rack:
Korg rack tuner
Lexicon MPX-G2
BBE Sonic Maximizer
Eventide Harmonizer

Picks:
Dunlop Ultex Standard 1.14mm

If I had the money, I would definitely have the Transperformance system installed, as I use lots of tunings and that would be a dream come true

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

****, I'd borrow Gearjoneser's rig, and throw in an el84 amp, my G2D pedal and a couple of teles.

 

[Brow]

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

For guitars I'd have what I have now, plus maybe a few more LP's and Strats for backup and with different pup combos in them.

Amps would be:

Vox AC30 and a Fender Twin - Clean

Marshall JTM 45 + TV 4x12, Vox AC30, Matamp 28w head and cab - Overdrive

Marshall JCM 800 Split Channel + 2 4x12 cabs, Marshall 100w Plexi + 2 4x12 cabs (has a G2D Custom Overdrive or a MESA V-Twin amp powering it) - Distortion

Marshall DSL and 2 4x12 cabs - Heavy Distortion

Also maybe throw in the odd Tubescreamer or another G2D for solo boost and that would suit me just fine

[korovamilkdud]

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

Guitars: Gibson Les Paul Standard - 59b and (jazz? demon? PG?)
Fender Fat Strat brown suburst (more Duncans)
Some random Taylor Acoustic (licked by Michelle Branch) :32:

Amps: 2 trusty Roland JC-120s for cleans

Since we're on the topic of wishful gluttony. Ha Ha I'll run with Hot Grit's
idea. Let's chuck the top two Bogner cabs, and put two Matchless DC-30's
with that matching grill cloth on the two Bogner bottoms. Then throw his G2D
and my Klon on the board, wired midi to the midi switch, of course,
then put a couple Fender Closet Classic Teles in the guitar stand. :32:
