Nylander88 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 This is a thread for guitarists (and bassists! The low end is important!) who want to share what their rig is and what they are planning in the future. Share what Guitars, Effects and amps you have! Currently I'm a part of a Punk band and this is what I work with: Guitars: A Stratocaster (Looking at some Les Pauls and some dimarzio evolution humbuckers. An old mexican squier tele currently it doesn't have a nut or strings Pedal Board the good ol' Boss tuner, the tu-3 Boss BD-2 ( my favourite overdrive by far) Boss MD-2 Arion Chorus (the thing is like as old as a dinosaur but sounds super good) Hx stomp 1. Phaser 2. Tremolo 3. Britt 2204 4. 4x12 cali 30 cab 5. Plate verb 6. Digital Delay Boss dd-7 (isn't a part of the board, because I'm using the hx stomp for delay but will use it soon so I can free up space on the stomp for eq) That's my Rig so far I'm planning on buying some more effects and a boss Katana 212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 LOL my rig is fairly simple I use guitars. *Only 2 matter to me but they aren't part of my 'tone'. The other 100 are either collectible items, specific-use items, or guitars that are bought today and sold tomorrow. Line 6 HD 500/500X/Pro X *Yes, I have all 3 of the units (I do not have an HD Pro), but I only use one at a time. They are all the same, so nothing changes in my tone. But because of my situation(s), I have multiple of the same. Between travel, multiple homes, and sometimes I use a floor unit and sometimes a rack unit... I run direct to the PA. *sure, I have headphones, monitors, amps, and even those little $10 computer speakers. But those are to be used when... as example, I am here and want to play, so I plug in what I have available. Or maybe the "and friends" gig I host every week, requires me to take my own monitors because of the much smaller sound system. The goal is to have nothing between the pod and the sound guy. ***depending on the employer, I may have specific devices. such as a talk box or wireless or a midi/sync system. But in general, it is guitars and a pod. And life couldn't be better. What once took all day to pack up, load up and load in, unpack, set up, sound check, tear down, re-pack, re-load and then re-unload... I can now show up at the venue 5 minutes before show time and be ready to go. I don't. But I could. And because everything is digital presets, I never have to worry about anyone turning any knobs messing everything up. Just recall the preset and it is back to where it should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nylander88 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Since My original post I've moved from Punk rock to a Symphonic Hard Rock/Mock metal sound, Since July-ish I've recorded 20-30 Demos full fledged instrumental demos that need vocals, (a few with lyric written) also 12 30sec songs that have a music idea or riff. so that's my life story so far. Lol Since the original post I've added a Jim Root Tele which sounds kicking hard! neck is awesomely fast. I've also added a Boss Katana 100 212 really good amp, the tube emulator tech sounds pretty good, I normally just plug my Hx Stomp and use an amp modal with the cab. So far pretty good Here is some stuff I'm looking at in the future Studio Mic.

gk001 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I’ve used a lot of amps and effects over the years, here’s my favs For a long time I ran a Boss GT5 into a Marshall 30th Anniversary stack The Marshall is MIDI controllable so this was controlled by the Boss My guitars had MIDI pickups on them and this fed a Roland Guitar Synth into a small PA, speakers either side of the Marshal for live the Boss controlled everything so 1 pedal tap changed me from guitar to sax/strings/organ Great sounds, way heavy and laborious setup and strike rig at gigs I then changed the Boss to a Pod XT then HD500x and ran this for several years I’m currently running all guitars through a Helix Floor into Jam Origins MIDI Guitar (brilliant) running on an old iPhone through USB to camera connection kit, Helix controls all synth sounds for live This goes straight into Alto powered FRFR (need 2nd one for stereo now ;) ) This setup is so easy to use and sounds brilliant, consistent and one trip in and out for gigs (remember them) For synth sounds Helix mutes guitar to main outs and routs clean compressed guitar to iPhone In studio I use the Jam Origins MIDI Guitar VST plugin - better than hardware converter If anyone wants to setup Helix with Jam Origins MIDI Giutar on iOS for live there’s a brilliant YouTube video that helped me figure it out - thank you Marc 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
