Your dream rig today

[Dr.Mavashi]

Not an exact signal path, but just what you wanna try really bad lately. Here is mine
A switching system(Hello Mr.Cornish) that will enable me to switch back and fourth between 3 amps that two at a time ran stereo in to one 4X12. My Laney AOR, Laney Supergroup, and a modded Laney for high gain soldanish tone pre-amp. I think I would keep the "mutant" of laney and soldano all the time and switch back and fourth between Supergroup and AOR. Ideally a top quality aged baltic birch plywood cab with 4 V30s. The mutant would be cranked naturally while AOR and Supergroup would have a pallet of drives in fron of them Spina's TS9 of course, BSM treble booster(prolly Blackmore's version) a Baeno boost from analogman. After that I would have some flange FL9 Ibanez, my current chorus - Ibanez CS9, a Foxrox octave (cheers whahwah) with echoplex as the last thing before amps.

Re: Your dream rig today

In my dream world, I would have Pete Cornish design the perfect pedalboard setup for me, complete with power conditioning and regulation and hand tuned tube buffering to keep a "direct" sound through my entire rig.


My pedalboard is pretty basic:

(front loop) Pete Cornish tube buffer (with tuner out to Peterson Strobostomp 2) -> Pro Analog Supaquack -> Analogman KOT V4 -> Lovekraft Mojo Drive -> Clay Jones OD -> out
(fx loop) Radial PB-1 Big Shot -> (insert Magnatone trem clone) -> Eventide Timefactor (w/ MIDI controller)


Guitars (all custom shop here while we're dreaming ):

Gibson ES-335 w/ dogear P90s - silverburst finish
Gibson SG Special - white
Gibson '59 Les Paul w/ original PAFs
Gibson ES-335 - vintage sunburst
Gibson '54 RI black beauty Les Paul Custom w/ P90/Alnico
Fender '62 Strat - ice blue metallic
Fender '62 Tele - black
JJ Original Shorthorn Doublecut - sunburst

Amps:

Bogner Shiva EL-34 w/ Reverb
Bogner XTC 100B
Bogner 4x12'' cabs w/ Vintage 30s

Re: Your dream rig today

haven't thought too much about it...all i know for sure is, i was playing through eight 12" speakers a few months ago and now i'm playing through a 12 and two 10's and it just is not doing it for me...so i guess my dream rig would be the same rig i have now but with a 4x12 stacked on top of a 6x12.

oh and groupies...groupies that also serve as roadies so that i can watch them set that monster up.

Re: Your dream rig today

Dream rig? Hmmm...

For amps, I'd like four Tweed Bassman heads, each on a 4x12 cab. The cabinets are filled with 20-watt Pre-Rola Greenbacks and vintage Alnico Jensens, or the Weber equivalent. They are set more for low-gain, mostly as clean amps, but when cranked they'd get a nice overdriven tone, good for blues all the way up to Cream and Free tones. With a little volume knob adjustment, a good thick, but stilly sparkly clean tone is had.

For pedals, The chain would look something like this:

Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster - Analogman Beano Boost - Undecided fuzz pedal (HBE UFO?) - Teese Picture Wah - Carl Martin Plexitone - BYOC Phase 90 - ADA Flanger - KR Megavibe - Fulltone Tube Tape Echo - Tube Reverb Unit (not sure on which one yet)

Pickup booster is used to equalize volume differences between single coil and humbucker guitars. Beano Boost is to get a bit more grit and drive from the Bassman heads, the fuzz pedal is for fuzz, wah is for wah. For any tones I need heavier then Cream and Free and Led Zep, etc, I'd use the Carl Martin. The Plexi channel is set for a Van Halen-ish tone, the High Gain is set for an Iron Maiden/Whitesnake 80s tone. Also good for the boost it has. The phaser, flanger, and unvibe, are for the different textures and tones. The echo is for a bit of a double-tracked tone normally, but set for longer delays for certain solos, and for a bit of a chorus effect from the warbling of the tape. The reverb is for a surfy or bluesy type of sound, always on, usually not set more than 9 or 10 o clock, unless for effect.

Guitars would be:

-My Surf Green Strat, with Surfer set or Surfer N/M and Twangbanger
-A black, 70's styled Strat, Eb Standard. Custom Custom bridge, Classic Stack Plus N/M
-Lake Placid Blue Strat, 60s styling. Rosewood fingerboard, Texas Hots. Open E Tuning.
-My Les Paul, with Brobucker/PG Set
-A 3-pickup Custom model in Black, with Gold covered pickups: Custom/Phat Cat/Jazz Bridge
-Goldtop Les Paul 1956 Standard reissue, P90 pickups, Open A tuning.
-Melody Maker, with a Custom Tapped P90 in the bridge, but a regular Melody Maker neck pickup
-A Gretsch G5120, in Orange, with TV Jones pickups
-Butterscotch Blonde Telecaster, Custom Shop '53 JB Esquire Pickup, Antiquity Neck
-Black Telecaster, Broadcaster bridge, '59 Humbucker neck, Open G.
-Natural colored, '69 Thinline Tele Reissue, JD Bridge, Lollar Charlie Christian Neck.
-J Mascis Signature Jazzmaster, Antiquity II pickups
-Gibson EDS-1275 Double Neck, Phat Cats on the 12 String, '59 Set on 6 String (or Custom 5/59)

Dream rig. Right now...

Throw in a few Gibson Les Pauls, and I'll keep my pedalboard.

Re: Your dream rig today

2 custom made 8 string Kellys..(both tuned from low A to high G) with 2 custom made PATB PUs with Full Shred Character.
Diezel VH4 S ,Lexicon GIGRIG midi 8 pedal to control the amp and the Eventide H8000 harmonizer..
A Power Conditioner ,a Strobo Stomp 2 ,Sonic Maximizer and an ISP decimator would be fine.
For the amp ,i want a 2x15" sub with 2 x 12" Vintage 30 speakers.

Question for you -- and this is just me playing devil's advocate:

If your dream rig includes a '62 Hot Rod Strat and a '52 Hot Rod Tele, couldn't you sell some of your other guitars to finance these two?
