well I DO know my DREAM rig would include a few strong, intelligent guys to carry it all and set it up each time without fucking anything up!

I'm actually pretty happy with my existing rig, but I'd kind of like to swap the Rectoverb for a Roadster, and grab this as a seven:

Guitar wise i'd have a few custom ibanez's, 6 and 7 petrucci MM family reserve, parker 6 and 7.

amp wise i'd have 3 orange thunderverb 50 heads. one for clean the other for the dirty version of the clean channel, and the 3rd for channel B, which by the way sounds fucking awesome!. then they'd go through 2 4x12's and 2 2x12's or 4 4x12's.

rack wise. i wouldn't get much just a switching unit and everything in draws wired up.

it'll be awesome!

I'd want to add a Triaxis to my rig and pick up a Tom Anderson Proam w/floyd in the black/white bowling ball finish.

Guitar

Custom 8 string from Mike Sherman
Thin as hell flamed maple body, violin burst
One piece maple neck, ebony fretboard, full scallop
Infinite radius fretboard
Shaped after the Dean RC7, neck recessed into the body and everything
HS pickup config (Lundgren M8s, Bareknuckle Trilogy)
Both pickups angled with the treble side towards the neck
27.5"-25" fan, tuned in G, straight fourths (GCFA#D#G#C#F#)
8 string Edge Pro copy (maybe it'd work better if it only moved the top six strings? :shrug:)
One volume, killswitch
A little wireless MIDI channel switching thing built into the guitar (would this work?)

Amps, etc.

ENGL E570 -> ENGL 950/100 -> Orange 4x12 + Vader 2x15
or
Mesa TriAxis -> Recto 2:100 -> Vader 4x12 + 2x15 bass cab

Maybe running in quad stereo? :shrug:

Of course I need my Bloody Murder, DD6, a few other stuff.

Mike, if you're willing to build that for me for free, I'll be a shill for you for life. I'll also give you my eternal soul.

My dream amp would be an ENGL powerball with a a cab with v30s. Not quite sure what my dream guitar would be, but it would most likely be a Universe

Well, for metal, I think something like:

The custom 7 which hopefully will be done next month or so
Custom 8-string with fanned frets (26.5" to 29" scale or so), prolly from the same luthier
My 1077XL as a backup, only with better pickups

Esp Eclipse I
Some other Esp as backup, maybe a Viper.

The sevens would probably be tuned to standard, as our material is only B standard at the moment. I do hope we'll try A or Ab later too. Sixers would be in D standard / drop C.

Diezel VH4 or Diezel Herbert, I haven't decided which I like more
Mesa Oversized 4x12" cab with 2x v30's and 2x Greenbacks or other smoother elements
Diezel 2x12" cab for smaller gigs

And some nice pedals, and I'll be set.

Vox Tonelab SE
ISP Decimator
Ibanez TS7

Orange Rocker 30
Orange 4x12"s

That would very much suit me, but i'd probably like a few other axes to beat around on too. A Musicman Axis, an RG1077XL, a custom Agile, a Strat/Tele or RAN too... Ampwise, probably a Mesa too.

As a few others, I already have most of my guitars nailed down... but if we're dreaming I'd say a 7-string Thorn Junior 90 and a 7-string Thorn Artisan Master with some crazy inlays and killer woods. I'd love to have the Brunetti NAMM setup (like 5-6 Brunetti amps + Matrix (midi amp/cabinet switcher) + half dozen cabs) if we're dreaming! :D

My dream guitar is the custom Carvin DC747 I'm getting built. Can't wait to get it! :D

I am really happy with my current set up but I think it can always be better so this is what my dream set up:

-Engl E570 SE Preamp
- Engl E840/50 Power Amp

I already have my dream cab (Mesa Rectifier 4X12 Oversized), effects processor ( Rocktron Xpression) and Midi Foot Controller (Engl Z-12). So yeah... one day! :hbang:

Um... I guess a 27 Inch scale RGA with a Reverse Headstock with a Dimarizo D Sonic in the bridge and Air Norton in the neck. Then pretty much John Pettruci's rack, just take one of those mark IVs out and insead put a triple rectifier. So a Lonestar, a Mark IV and a Rectifier.

Hellz yeah.
