New rig pics!

Alright!

Here are some pictures of my rig in its current state. The DSL is on its way out soon. Just need to decide on its replacement.

1997 Epiphone LP Standard Plus with CC in the Bridge and AIIPro in the neck.
2000 Fender Standard Strat (mexico) with SSL-3 in the Bridge:

My pedals:

Marshall DSL 401:

Re: New rig pics!

i never understood why people cover their guitars with stickers. clutch is an awesome band, but it'd look better on a cab or a guitar case or something

That's a cool strat, I really like the body 'artwork'

Re: New rig pics!

Interesting pup combination you got in your Lp. What kind of music do you play with it?

I have to say that I found a bit of a shame to cover this nice finish with stickers. I did it for a while on my Epi but it was because I found the colour scheme crap. I learned to appreciate it since. I guess it was a grower.

What are you going to replace the DSL with?

Re: New rig pics!

I play a bit of everything to be honest, mainly various punk/hardcore/rock/metal/experimental stuff.

Re: New rig pics!

The current options for the DSL replacement are:
Ampeg V4
Sound City L50 Mk4
Matamp GTL
Orange Rockerverb

But i'm always on the lookout for loud warm valve heads.

May I also recommend early Hiwatts? Excellent tone for what (I think) you're looking for. Put a nice square-wave fuzz in front and you'll crush, with the option of tremendous clean headroom.

EDIT: Wow, I just realized...that's quite a leap from the front of your board to the back. Ever have any problems hitting those far away pedals?

Yeah, Hiwatt was another option, but they go for big money at the moment. When I saw Pelican a couple of months back, Bryan Herweg was using one. That was some mighty tone right there.

I'm pretty tall, so the pedal board isn't too much of a problem, but its far from the perfect layout I must admit. I'll be upgrading that soon too.
