Your dream rig vs. your current rig?

[S-O]

Current rig:
Rg550xx, RG7620, RG7621 w/ C. Woods Alder body, picking up a Les Paul here in a couple days for a hardcore band I joined
Axe-FX Ultra using JSX power amp
Genz Benz G-Flex 2x12

I scored an 8u shockmount rack that I am want to fill up, so dream rig:

LACS RG 6, 7 and 8's, with various woods like Swamp Ash, Alder and Mahogany.
Furman Power Conditioner; X2 or one of the new L6 relay wireless; Axe-FX Ultra; Fryette 2/90/2 or 2/50/2 or a much cheaper alternative, Carvin DCM 1000; rack drawer for all the knick knacks like strings and speaker cables, spare strings and cables for other doods too. That ought to fill the rack.
Cabs, I want a lot for recording, but live wise, probably something like a Fryette Fatbottom, whatever I went with I would want it wired for stereo.

[AvantGuardian]

Current Rig:

Guitars:
Carvin Sh275 Semihollow
Ibanez SA1260
Agile Interceptor 727
Ibanez Universe PWH

Pedals:
Digitech RP1000
Line 6 FM4

Amp:
Mesa DC-5 > Port City Wave OS 1x12

Dream Rig:
I'd probably add in a Petrucci JPX guitar, switch out the DC-5 for a Mark IV and get the Port City Wave OS 2x12. I like the 1x12 though because its so light and has pretty amazing bass response for a 1x12. Maybe switch the RP1000 for the TC Electronic G System. I'm pretty happy with the current rig at the moment though. It does what I need it to do.

 

[InTheRavensName]

What am I saying...my last one was FAAAR too practical :'D

Today's dream rig! (Brought on by a morning of Mercyful Fate and nostalgia for my old Maiden strat!)

2x Fender Iron Maiden Strats (the 2001 model with the mirror plate, OFR, and Jr JB/Hotrails/Hotrails set).

The pedalboard from the original post would probably still do me nicely.

4x Marshall Randy Rhoads full stacks. (Why the hell not...)

Several roadies.

I pretty much have my dream rig. Maybe throw a Mesa cab in there and take the MF cab (which I love) and put a Peavey JSX or 3120 on it with an alternate smaller pedalboard (for travel purposes) and after christmas a Earthquaker devices Monarch going into the big pedal board. All of it is pretty doable. Really the 2nd rig is the only thing missing. Entirely possible if I find a good deal on a JSX or 3120 that I do that this year.

 

[carcass]

Current Rig:
Jackson COW 7
Peavey 6505+ 112 combo
MXR ZW-44 OD pedal

Dream Rig:
Peavey 6505 212 combo
Maxon OD808 OD pedal
(these two mixed with my current guitar gear via Morley ABY Box)
Schecter Hellraiser C-8

 

[BucketheadRules]

Current rig:

Gibson Flying V
Ibanez RG350EX
Ibanez RG7321
Dean Baby ML

Blackstar HT Club 40

Hardwire TL-2
Marshall Jackhammer
Digitech Whammy IV
Morley Mini Wah

Dream situation

I would still definitely keep the Blackstar for home practice and such, but might also have a half-stack if I ever started doing proper gigs ... something like an ENGL Invader or Randall V2.

I also want to sell the two guitars I don't use so much (Pacifica, Vintage V100) and get a Burny RLC-70S... then I think an Ibanez ICT700 and something like an SV5470/JP6/used Korean Fender Showmaster. Basically, something with humbuckers, 24 frets and a non-locking trem.

I also would get a Hardwire DL-8 and RV-7, and an MXR Micro Chorus.

That's the ideal-scenario rig at the mo.

[Phlegethon]

dream rig vs. current one?

right now I've got my two main guitars which I have no complaints over (RG321MH w/85neck and 81 bridge, RG7321 w/V7 7, V8 7, and upgraded pots/jack). amplifiers are a different story ... using a fender frontman 15B as it's the only amp I have at the moment (long story short: in school and some kids slashed a bunch of tires of cars in my area, sold guitar amps to pay for repairs)

ideal rig? keep my two current guitars and add the following to the list:
some sort of eight string. playing ERG's feels more comfortable to me, and have spent the majority of my guitar playing on sevens so the move to eight will eventually happen.

for amps? going with this list: an axe fx ultra with a FRFR monitor on power amp duty, with a tech 21 trademark 60 combo as a backup/alternate for the axe fx

right now money is the one thing that's stopping me from obtaining what I want. it's only three pieces of gear, but the only piece of gear there that is likely to check in under 1000 here is the tech 21 gear. I could imagine that I might be able to get a cheaper setup to use in place of the FRFR monitor, but I don't think that being cheap with that sort of thing would pay off in the end (especially for a dream rig)

Schecter ZV Standard
Ibanez EX360

Dream Rig:
I would add a CAE Wah, a MXR CC Delay, a few Carvin's, a Gibson Silverburst LPC and a PRS Custom 24 and bareknuckle pickups for all the guitars.
add a 6505, an avatar contemporary loaded with K100's and a Diezel VH4, on top of what I currently have, then I would have my dream rig(s).

[Cancer]

Current Rig-
Schecter Blackjack7 and Schecter Damien7
Hush pedal
Digitech RP500
Tech21 DLA
All mounted to a SKB powered pedalboard
Mackie powered PA cabinet

Dream Rig-
Two Schecter Blackjacks with SD Blackouts
Rackmount Hush unit
Digitech GSP1101
Mesa Duel Recto
One Mesa 4x12 in an Isolation box and permanent mic
In ear monitor system of some high quality variety

The main reason for my current rig is transport and set up ease. My dream rig isn't too far out there to be obtainable I guess, but I'd hate to haul everything to a gig in my Yaris.

No Axefx? I'm surprised.

 

[Cancer]

Current Rig:

2 Carvin 727's
Brice Wireless
Boss GT-10
GC Powered Wedge (I forget the name)

[LMak]

Current Rig:

PRS Soapbar II (Red)
ENGL Powerball I
Ashdown Fallen Angel 4x12 cab

Dream Rig:
PRS Custom 24 (Red)
ENGL Powerball I
Mesa Dual Rectifier 4x12 Cabinet
ENGL Z5 Custom footswitch
Boss DD5 delay
Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb
Korg Pitchblack tuner

My current set up is pretty suited for my guitar at the moment. The Ashdown cabinet is bassy but that really stop the PRS being so bright (Something I've always disliked about the P.90's) The Powerball is something I've been looking to get for years. Finally bagged one! I'm on my way to eventually getting the pedals, just money is a problem at the moment. The Dual Rectifier and the Custom 24 are going to have to wait though.
