Whats Your Guitar Setup/Dream Setup[views:11035][posts:24]____________________________________ [Aug 19,2013 7:08pm - MotleyGrue ""] Always interested in knowing what guitarists use to record/play live shows. Amp heads, pedals, guitars, cabinets. How do you like to have your guitar setup/sound? Elitists please feel free to be Elite. I will start with mine: Marshall 1960s cabinet Marshall Mode 4 amp head Gibson SG standard BOSS GT-10 pedal board I have to fully think out what my dream setup would be. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 19,2013 7:12pm - Burnsy ""] Peavey 6505+ through a marshall 1960A lead cab. I've been rocking my ibanez s-series with the poplar finish. Pedalboard is my korg tuner, boss noise suppressor, boss rv5 reverb and a boss delay. I use the rig live and for recording (sans pedal board for recording). |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 19,2013 7:13pm - MotleyGrue ""] In before anyone shits on the Marshall Mode 4, this whole thread is subjective to our individual tastes. Here is a video of Alex Skolnick giving a review on this. bennyhillifier |

Fuck I want a Peavey 6505+ or a Peavey 5150 which I have wanted since the 90's............fuck you think I would have brought one by now, gotta think bout that. |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 19,2013 7:29pm - Snowden NLI ""] Looking into a reverb pedal so I won't have to borrow my girlfriend's Tech 21, and a couple of pedals to make switching amps/channels easier. I guess I wouldn't turn down a Mesa oversized 4x12 for the 5150, either. In a perfect world I guess the guitar would have an aluminum neck and better pickups. On the Grue record we just finished I used all the amps above, plus a Mesa Mk3 combo and ported 1x12, plus a GK800RB and Ampeg 8x10. And all clean guitars were through a borrowed Roland JC120. I guess maybe my IDEAL RIG would involve somebody to carry that around so I don't have to mess around trying to make the 5150 sound okay clean? |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 19,2013 7:31pm - Snowden NLI ""] Oh and also a super fucked up/modded EHX Blackfinger pedal belonging to Jeff from Fresh Kill, that had so much gain that it sounded like it was constantly melting down. |

I want to hear that album for the music, and the guitar tone, sounds solid. I want to hear to see if it is something I can agree with. |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 20,2013 12:05am - Snowden NLI ""] Somehow it didn't occur to me to post my ultimate guitar gear white whale, which is a Mesa Mark 3 Coliseum (180 watt Mark 3). I don't even really know what I'd do with it, so I guess it's pure irrational greed. |
