Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

Any of you old metalheads who might remember that stage that Judas Priest had for the Screamin' for Vengeance tour, would remember like 50 Marshall stacks on two tiers. Now, I know they were all for show... but I might like to hear that puppy crank'd up just once in my life.

I'd take that along I guess.

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

I got you all beat...
A guitar, cord, and a laptop with lots of plugins and soft synths. Guitarists and synthesists have already started doing this. I have tried a system like this and it sounds amazing. And it fits in a suitcase.

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

Jesus Boy.....What venue are you playin?.....Everything West of the Rockies?
That's 14 amps and 24 4-12 cab! That's only nice and simple for Yngwie! :laugh2:

Hehehe...I couldn't hear for 2 days after I saw Yngwie in Houston last month...Jeez like 6 stacks in a really small venue.

Anyhow, my dream rig...

Amps:
Marshall Plexi {dimed} for rhythm channel, panned L in stereo mix.
Marshall JCM 800 for rhythm channel, panned R in stereo mix.

Soldano SLO for solos.

The above rhythm go to one 4x12 cab each, the SLO goes into 2 4x12 cabs.

Fender Deluxe and Fender Twin combos {on together} for cleans.

Effects:
Boss Digital Delay x2 one for slap-back, one for echo.
Boss Chorus {to be used very minimally for cleans}.

Guitars:
Peavey Wolfgang with stock pups for the heavy stuff.
Fender Strat-S/S/H-Ash body {HRn-standard stratm-JBb}.
Fender Tele stock.

Pretty simple...but very effective!

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

...I can go nuts? Well...you asked for it! Straight off the top of my head, my insane dream rig (we're talking HUGE venues here) would be:
Guitars: Fender Squier Strat (my current axe) and a Fender 'Splattercaster' Strat in blue, both loaded with Seymour Duncan Cool Rails pickups. Then, my signal chain:
Boss TU-2 Tuner > Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster > ElectroHarmonix Small Stone Phaser > Keeley Modded Dunlop Crybaby Wah > Keeley Compressor > Keeley True Bypass Looper (in loop: Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer #1 > ElectroHarmonix Double Muff Fuzz #1 > EHX Double Muff #2 > Boss GE-7 #2 > Boss NS-2 Noise Gate) > (after looper) EHX The Wiggler > Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble (stereo out) >> Boss DD-6 Digital Delay (stereo out) >> (left stereo) EHX Holy Grail Reverb #1 > Radial JD7 Injector #1 >>>>>>> 6 individual Fender Hot Rod DeVille 4x10's, all stacked up pyramid style (3 on bottom row, 2 middle row, 1 top row) + 1 solitary Hot Rod DeVille 410 used as left stereo stage monitor. (right stereo) EHX Holy Grail #2 > Radial JD7 #2 >>>>>>> 6 Fender Hot Rod 410's pyramid stacked + 1 used for right stereo stage monitor

Strings: Ernie Ball Slinky's, heaviest friggin' gauge I can find 'em in!
Cables: Either Planet Waves or Goerge L's, all gold plugs.
Guitar Hardware: Satin Chrome
...yes, I'm insane! Lol! :laugh2:

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

Well not dreaming, but simply what I use....

'81 Ibanez DestroyerII
'82 Ibanez DestroyerII
'84 Ibanez DestroyerII
'89 Gibson Explorer
'92 Takamine Acoustic (beat, but works)
'?? Takamine Classical

'89 Marshall JCM800 2210
'85 Marshall JCM800 2210 (heavily modded)
'83 Marshall JCM800 2205 (acoustic amp, believe it or not!)

My footswitch which selects channel, reverb, chorus, volume boost and even the pickups in my guitar..(definitely one off, but it works flawlessly)

...depending on the gig.. up to 2 full stacks..1960A and B's w/ G12t75's
..realistically, the only time all this gear gets dragged out is at the big outdoor gigs, and yes, it's mostly for show.....but it is COOL!!

Got an annual outdoor festival coming up this month, last year was about 38,000 in attendance and Foghat and Jackyl (i didn't even know they were still around) were headliners for Thu. and Sat. and we opened for Freddie Everett on Fri. nght....i got some really great pix from the stage......just a sea of people...

Other than that, I really can't think of anything else..except maybe a Leslie..

Re: Dream Rigs, Arena Style

My tastes change daily but as of now this would be it...

Guitars:
- 2 "hot rod" strats with PAF Pros and Floyd Roses
- 2 "modern" strats with Wilkinson bridges, noiseless SC's and modern electronics.
- 2 vintage strats from the early 60's or the 50's
- 1 Hardtail, mahogany bodied Strats with humbuckers
- 1 7-String Ibanez Universe
- Eric Clapton Signature Martin Acoustic Guitar with Fishman Blender
- Seagull Acoustic Dreadnaught
- Gisbon Les Paul (Alpine White) with Duncans
- Ibanez JS1000 Satriani Model

Amps:
- Marshall JCM800 with gain and tone mods
- Bogner Ecstacy OR Soldano SLO
- Fender '66 Deluxe Reverb
- Fender Twin Reverb

Effects:
- Crybaby 535Q
- Various DS pedals to accommodate how I feel that day. Keeley BD2, Keeley DS1, Fulltone '69 Fuzz, MXR Doubleshot, G2D Custom Overdrive will be part of the collection. The pedals will mainly be used to punch up the clean amps and give the gainy amps a boost and more 'nads.
- GE7 for extreme tonal shaping
- Digitech Whammy
*rack stuff*
- Aphex 204 Aural Enhancer OR BBE 482 Maximizer
- TC G-Force
- TC 2290
- Eventide H3000 Harmonizer
- Rocktron Super C Hush
- Custom Audio Electronics MIDI-based switching system to control all that crap AND the amp switches
- Korg DTR2000 tuner
- The best Furman power conditioner they've got. :laugh:

Cabs:
- All Marshall 1960AX and BX, loaded with Celestion Greenbacks. At least 4 to be used on stage
