I am using:

Mammoth Custom Electric (My Design)

Mammoth Custom King V (almost done being built)

Soldano Avenger 100

2 Madison 4x12 with Celestion V30's/12-75's in a cross pattern

POD xtLive

Boss TU-2

Peavey Classic 50/50

Classic Cases 8 space custom roadcase

I keep my currently used gear simple:

ESP/LTD Viper Baritone w/ EMG 81/85

Spider Valve head (always Metal amber) + 4x12 Marshall cab

Digitech Whammy (no  effects from the amp)

In the near future I'll add a 7string, most probably an ESP/LTD Viper 417.

Well, I just got a new band together and wanted to do some things different. My main guitars for the past 10 yrs have been my 98' ESP Custom EXP for standard and my 84' Gibson V (both guitar have EMG's in them) for the stuff down a step. I wanted to go with passive pickups and play some of my other guitars that have been getting neglected, but I've myself back on my ESP. I really wanted to use my 99' Gibson Gothic V as my main guitar, but I've never been happy w/the 500T and the 496R. I'm gonna buy a red DiMarzio Air Norton for the neck and a red Super Distortion for the bridge with a push/pull for tapping the coils. Once I do I'll be looking to give the ESP a vacation. However, I recently got my 1st 7 string, it's a 2000 Epiphone Les Paul(modded with locking tuners and EMG's) that I'm going to work in the band music and that'll be my #2 guitar as wel as backup.

My rig as it stands

SV HD100 modded with SVPre with mini-switches for the push modes on the front of the amp, all 3 preamp tubes are JJ ECC83's, and green LED's so the L6 logo lights up green

K-100 loaded Avatar 4X12 cab

shortboard for controlling  the SV

Digitech Rp200A that I found hiding in the closet.....still trying to figure out effects for the SV. My X3L seems to suck the tone out of the SV abit, but the Digitech works nicely for Noise gate, compression and an extra effect like pitch shift/harmony or acoustic sim.

I play classic air play metal primarily. Anything from old Judas to new Ozzy too VH,etc... as well as I am a 80's Thrash fan

and play some old Anthrax,Exodus,Testament,etc....

Im a bit on the cheap these days what with a house,car,kids,grndkids,ex,etc.............

So heres my low $$$ rig that nails everything I play.

Guitars:

MIK Epiphone LP Custom/ebony finish - Duncan pickups(AN2P-Sh-11) tuned to E flat

Peavey V-Type ntb Pearl finish - Dimarzio pickups(Air Norton-Super Distortion) tuned too D

Amps:

Laney Gh 50 L and Peavey MS 4x12(sheffield 1230's)

Line6/Bogner MKI Spider Valve 112 and shortboard controller

Effects(Laney only):

Boss CE 2,Dunlop Cry Wah,Ibanez TS-9,Boss BF 2,MXR 10 band eq.

Ive used both amps quite well in my Metal cover band and am toying with doing an A-B-Y rig but the little Spider Valve works like a champ on its own and is a simple as pie package too setup and take down honestly.

schecter blackjack atx with seymour duncan blackouts,schecter hellraiser anniversary model with chrome emg 81/85 bartell signature axe with emg 81/85.podxt.studio devil pro...i couldn't fit the pic of my hellraiser pic....

ESP M-II Deluxe (primary; a great, crazy fast and hot 80's metal machine, I keep in Eb tuning for my band's stuff)

ESP LTD EC-500 (secondary; almost as good as my M-II, it gets used for drop tunings and such)

Line 6 Spider IV 150

...and that's pretty much it. I've got a DigiTech RP350, but I only use it for church. I hope to someday get an ESP Horizon FR-II, or maybe a Jackson Soloist...once I have $2,000 to spend on one I'll choose.

After years of lugging around too much equipment I've simplified. Bolded items are my primary items.

Guitars:

2007 Jackson Dominion (River Bed w/ Seymour Duncan 59's)

2008 MIK Epiphone SG (Red w/Gibson Burstbucker Pros and Kluson tuning pegs for style...)

200? Jackson Dinky Pro (Tobacco burst w/ a single EMG 81)

Effects:

Line 6 POD HD500 (Live it goes straight to the board)

Ibanez TS-9DX

Ibanez AD-9

BBE Boosta Grande

EH NanoClone

Amps:

Crate VTX65B (Used as a monitor)

64' Supro 2x10" Extention Cab (Used for live mic recording)

-Bill Hicks: "News flash. Non-smokers, are you ready for this? Okay, non-smokers....die..... everyday. Ha ha ha, sleep tight!"

Two Squier Stagemaster FR Strats(24 fret neck-through with Licensed Floyd Rose) w/Guitar Fetish Power Rails in the bridge of both

Line 6 POD HD500

Peavy Special 212

Behringer VTX 2x12 combo

Monster Cables

Dunlop Jazz III, the matte black ones

Goes from guitar to POD to both combos. Technically its a stereo set-up, but mostly I like to use both combos because one is open back, the other sealed, and together they make any awesome combination of clarity and boom for really, really, really low tuning we play in, which is Drop Ab. I always get giggles from the other "heavy" (and I use that term very loosely) bands we play with when I'm setting up my two little combos and plugging in my Squiers and everyone else has Mesas, 5150's, Engls, whatever....but almost undoubtedly after the show at least one of them is gonna ask me how I get my tone.

i try and keep a steady rotation of....

Guitars:

Jay Turser Les Paul JT-200 w/purple flame top, set neck, all gold harware, MOP serpent inlay, & gold Duncan Blackouts

BC Rich Body Art 4/2003 Skull Pile V w/ Active DragonFire's, diamond inlays, custom neck, & all Skull hardware

Custom made Black Diamondplate Explorer (gibson shape), with ebony fretboard, and GuitarHeads Metalbucker passives

BC Rich NJ Beast w/red flame top, diamond inlays, & EMG 81/85 (only used for live performances (rarely used)

i've also got a vintage Dean ML, an old BC Rich Ironbird, and some other no-namers...but i almost never use them. If i had to pick one, i would use the Dean as it's a great guitar, i just always seem to pick up something else.

Amps/cabs:

currently using the Line 6 HD147 (love it!) & the shortboard

4x12 Peavy w/Sheffield speakers

4x12 Crate w/ various Celestion speakers

....but building/modifing, and can't wait to use them (not super happy with current cabs)...

custom Mesa Rectifier 4x12 slant w/ Celestions v30's, 4-ohm stereo

custom 2x15 w/ Eminence 154's, 4-ohm stereo

(running each cab in stereo)

for at-home practice, i've use a 2x12 Marshall Valvestate combo

I'm mostly writing and recording these days so here's the studio setup:

Presonus Studio One Pro 2

Presonus Audiobox interface

KRK G2 Rokits (5")

ESP M1000 Deluxe

Ibanez RG1570
