Some form of Modded Vox/Dunlop Wah (well, pretty much any wah really)
->
Diezel VH4 (I think, either that or the Herbert)
->
ISP Pro Rack-G
->
TC Electronics Ground Control or G-Force
->
Nice cabs :), most likely Diezels/Orange.

other sundries:
Nice tubescreamer of some description, not too bothered as it'd get modded anyway...

Still, I am actually happy with what I have at the moment (when it works :/)

Nice setup, probably just about what I would go for. Except a Warrior 7 instead of a King V (or both :metal: ) and an Engl cab instead of Mesa. Nice and simple.

Possibly the ultra Axe-FX thing but it's all going to change in a few years, when convolution technology becomes affordable. There won't really be much need to own amps, the only point to them will be to take an impulse response from to apply to everything else. The impulse is simply how the amp (or anything else really- reverb from a room, response of an FX pedal etc.) responds to the full audio bandwidth- 20Hz to 20KHz. Once you know how it responds to the frequencies (the impulse is a split second test) i.e. how quickly it starts and stops at each input freq, you basically have a map of it's DNA (or soul :evil: ) to do whatever you wish with. This isn't an approximation like a modeling unit, it genuinely sounds like an exact (as exact as you can be within the laws of physics) copy of the source. It means you can take the exact response of people's actual amps, getting the age of the components inside and so on. Nerdy as it is, I'm genuinely excited about it. So I want a big ass convolution unit :)
Some sort of rack power thing, probably a mesa tube job for the Axe-FX, or a neutral SS studio amp for the convolution stuff.
A full range stack of 3 cabs I'd design and get a cabinet maker to build, I haven't found a standard cab I've liked yet. a 15" for lows, 2x12 for upper low- mid, then a horn for upper mid up to 10K ish. Made of nice wood with a quilted top :) A friend of mine had his Fender Princeton re-housed by PRS like that, I keep trying to get pics from him :)

Custom built guitars (not picky about company as long as they're exactly to my specs)

Either Mesa Roadster + TC Electronics G-System or Axe-FX

Can it include equipment that doesn't exist yet???

Here's mine:

Guitars:
2 Carvin V227 (Mahogany, maple tops, LFR, Duncan 59' or Tone Zone Neck, X2N7 bridge, see thru red or black matte finish)
1 Carvin V227 (Alder, Sustainer 7, LFR, X2N7 bridge)
1 Carvin DC727 (on the way, just for studio stuff)

Amp rack:
Sennhesier's version of the X-wire (24 bit only)
Line 6 Betta "it's betta than a Vetta...." (rack mounted version of the Vetta released in Late 2007 with improved synth sounds (faster tracking) and Axe-FX like flexibility, especially the ability to put effects BETWEEN the amp model and the cabinet model)
Roland VG-99 (used for synth sounds only if the above fails me)
Line 6 Floorboard (the big one)
BBE 882i
Carvin Power Amp
212 wedge monitor created by EarCandy Cabs.

Blackmachine 7
