Your dream rig vs. your current rig?

[Customisbetter]

I love these threads as my answer changes every time.

DREAM

2 Suhr 7s, one hardtail and another 2 point, both with Air Norton/Ceramic Warpig combo
Digitech Whammy
Digitech GSP2101 pre
Carvin TS100 Power
Orange 212 w/ V30s


CURRENT

Ibby RG1527, Agile Septor 727
Digitech Whammy
Digitech GSP2101 pre
Mesa Mark III Power
Orange 212 w/ V30s

I'm only 7 thousand dollars away!

My dream rig is pretty much what I have in my sig. I'd like 'better' [RE: more expensive] guitars, and maybe some different pickups, plus a JCM800 for recording layers or joining a coverband, but other than that...

Oh, I'd like a different cabinet than the Ampeg. It's just until I can find an empty 412 for a decent price, or a 412 with sellable Cele's for a good price. Probably will end up going with an empty Avatar Contemporary 412.

 

[vlover]

Simple: I need these

Diezel VH4, G-system, Speaker Simulator like Palmer's (So I wont have to lug cab's if I don't have to). And some little things like a decent Reak/Head case. Marshall straight cab's with Celestion G12K-100's.

Custom 7 String built to my specks. I would love a 7 string Jackson KV2T, with a Floyd Rose, Alternating sharkfin inlays, 27" scale, Dimarzio Puckups, Silver Flame Finish. And the 8 String Schecter V-8.

Current: Marshall TSL 2000, GCX switcher, Ground Control.

The only thing between my dream rig and my current rig is a bowes custom 7-string singlecut w/ 2 volume 1 tone and a neck angle

 

[JPhoenix19]

Current:

- Ibanez 7321 with a DiMarzio New 7 bridge pick-up, stock neck
-Boss GT-6
-Mesa/Boogie Roadster head
-Peavey 412ms with Celestion G12K-85's (4 ohms total)

Dream:

-PRS custom 24 6-string. Single-cut, 24 fret, stoptail, black
-Ibanez MTM2 with DiMarzio PAF's
-PRS custom shop 7-string. Double-cut, 24 fret, stoptail, grey quilted maple
-Ibanez RG1527 white/maple neck with DiMarzio PAF 7's
-a second Roadster with EL34's
-Axe-FX Ultra
-High quality power conditioner
-midi switcher
-custom midi controller with many switches and at least two spring-loaded expression pedals
-two Mesa Oversize Recto 4x12's each with celestion G12K-100's

Heh... we'll see if I ever get anywhere near my dream rig. I'm not rich!

 

[newamerikangospel]

My current rig
Agile 725 Pro (floyd)
Schecter Gryphon (stoptail/tune-o-matic, ect)
Both with SD Blackouts

Boss TU-2
BlackCat Moan Wah
Ibanez ts9
Rocktron Hush (pedal form)

Framus Cobra Head
Framus Cobra Cab (g25s and hm75/t75 clones)

TC Electronics G Sharp
Tech 21 Midi Moose (Midi Footswitch)

All of this (minus cab) will be housed in a rack case, once it gets here (paid and shipped, just waiting).


My Dream rig isn't that far away

A couple of 8s (two so that I have a backup). These will probably be tuned up to G# (up one step). These will also probably be Agiles.

Voodoo Labs Ground Control Pro and Looper (ts9 would be in rack)
Dunlop Rack Wah (Or a custom remote controlled wah in the looper if LordovChaos will get back to me )
Rocktron Xpression (This may change, as I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to be pretty much everything I need/want)

With the exception of me getting into the 8 string market, my rig is pretty much complete. I plan on investing in a live rack, so that I have full control over my guitar tone, have a mixer for the backing track synths, and have the ability to run the bands monitors if we are playing one of "those" types of "clubs" (gigging bands have been there before). But as a pure musician rig, I am almost complete

 

[anne]

Current rig:
Prestige RG with HSH DiMarzio Tone Zone combo
C-1 neck-thru with Duncan Jazz/JB
Telecaster Semi-hollow with BKP scoils
Pod X3

Dream:
Some kind of baritone scale with Blackouts or Painkillers?
AxeFX Ultra

I keep it simple. :3 Should have it all by the end of this decade... lol

 

[warlock7strEMG]

CURRENT GEAR:
-BC Rich Warlock Platinum 7 string with EMG 707 at bridge
-Ibanez TS7 stock
-Peavey Butcher head
-B52 AT412 cab with stock speakers

i do love my current guitar and my current rig and plan on keepin em both. my guitar plays and sounds amazing to me and i love the way the Butcher sounds boosted, really killer semi-modern metal tone with a somewhat dry, old-school vibe to it.....plus the Butcher isnt exactly one u find everyday. i do plan on making the following changes to the current setup though:

-mod the TS7 to TS808 specs or have JoBo make it a TS7ovChaos
-change the speakers in my cab to Eminence Texas Heats of 2 Texas Heats on top/2 Swamp Thangs on bottom
-add a ISP Decimator to kill the added noise from the OD/boost

in addition to that i would love to have the following for more versatility and different tonal options:

DREAM RIG(s):

1
-Bloody Murder OD pedal
-Krank Krankenstein+ head
-Orange PPC412 cab(loaded with Celestion G12K-100's or Eminence Texas Heats)

2
-Maxon OD9
-Splawn Nitro head
-Orange PPC412(V30)

3 different cabs and boost/OD pedals, kinda overkill i know, but i likez having optionz

 

[Rogueleader]

OP has good taste.

My current rig is a jackson slsmg (pre emg painkillers incoming), engl e530 -> mesa 50/50 -> mesa cab.

As for dream rig I would first want the time to try it all out.

[GorillaSalsa]

I'm not even going to bother writing down my dream rig, mostly because it will be depressing to see how far away I am from it, but also because I'm certain it expands well beyond my knowledge or comprehension.

I'm happy with my current rig, though.

Bored of reading about Viking Age England, so I thought I'd bump this. Besides, my GAS has changed over the last few months.
