Your dream rig vs. your current rig?

[Revan132]

I pretty much saved up and bought my entire dream rig this summer.

Ibanez 2127z Prestige with BKP Nailbomb Ceramic in the bridge, and Cold Sweat in the neck.

Peavey 6505+ Head with JJ Tubes
Marshall 1960AV Cab w/ Celestion V30's
Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor

I am now looking into recording gear and considering if I should just get a line 6 UX2 first, or go all out and get a freakin Axe-FX; not sure yet.

 

[heineken_fretwalker]

All I need to make my current rig into my dream rig is a larger rack case with casters, a tube power amp of some sort (preferably Mesa or ENGL), and one more Mesa cab.

 

[Soopahmahn]

Well, what is it?

Axe-Fx Ultra, Carvin DCM1000, 1x Atomic Reactor cab, Rocktron MidiMate

Getting close! (Ish)

Current Rig:

Ibanez RG2228
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier 3CH
Mesa 4x12
Boss NS-2
Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus (mmmmcleans.)
And just a POD X3 for random fucking around into FRs.


DREAM RIG:
Ibanez RG2228, refinished in something bright
Blackmachine F8 (this is swappable with something by TIL but I suppose that cant go down anymore. )
Axe FX Ultra (Ordering it soon!)
Fryette 2/90/2 Power Amp
ENGL Invader or SE as backup
Orange 4x12
Acoustic or maybe hollowbody 8 string.

 

[Larrikin666]

Current:

[Spaced Out Ace]

Axe-Fx Ultra, Carvin DCM1000, 1x Atomic Reactor cab, Rocktron MidiMate

Shoulda got the... D'oh!

 

[Soopahmahn]

Shoulda got the... D'oh!

 

[BrutalExorcist]

Current rig

Washburn WG587
Blackstar HT-Dual
Pod X3 desktop (clean tones only, this with the HT-Dual functions as simulated three channel amps)
Acoustic B200 bass combo (or whatever's available to amplify the Pod)

Dream rig

-Add an Agile 8 or 9 string before thinking about the next step with guitars, this is optional
-Keep the HT-Dual, I love the distorted tones out of it
-Axefx Ultra, probably mostly clean tones again, but I'll try the distorted tones too
-Hold onto the Acoustic B200 bass combo for monitoring

Really, the big thing is getting the Axefx. I agree with an earlier statement that it's dummy proof for live sound. Take that, make it appropriately loud for the venue, don't overthink it any more than that, and enjoy the awesomeness.

Zombie thread won't stay dead

There's a LOT of gear I haven't tried yet, but I know I could be happy with the following:

Mesa/Boogie Roadster (maybe with KT88/KT66 combo)
Axe-Fx Ultra ran 4-cable method
Midi foot controller w/ expression pedals
4x12 cab w/ V30L's or G12K-100's
Ibanez RG2228 or Agile ____ 827 w/ passive pick-ups

 

[Double A]

My dream rig and my current rig are not too far off I guess.

Current:

Guitars: Schecter Loomis CFR, Agile Interceptor pro 727

Amp:5150 II, Crate Blue Voodoo 4x12

Pedals: DOD FX 40B equalizer, ISP Decimator G string, Ibanez TS7 tubescreamer, BOSS TU-3 chromatic tuner

My dream rig.

Guitars: Same except I want a custom fanned fretted 7 and 8 of some sort.

Amp: I would like to replace the Blue Voodoo cab with the oversized Mesa.

Pedals: MXR M-108 10 band EQ, 2x ISP Decimator G-string, Maxon OD808, Keely 4 knob compressor, Sonic Research Turbo Tuner ST-200 Strobe stomp.

Recording: AxeFx Ultra....duh.

So...besides being vague about guitars and the AxeFx, I am almost there and I am saving up for the last few pedals right now. My pedals will be housed on a pedal train board and I am unsure what to do about powering them. I was thinking this: Buy Godlyke Power-All PA-9B 9V Digital Power Supply Basic Kit | Guitar & Bass Effects Power Supplies | Musician's Friend because it is only 5 pedals and most will stay on through the loop

But I would love suggestions.

 

[fvlt]

Current
Les Paul/SG
Cantrell/Wylde Wah
Mark V/Dual Recto
Recto 4x12/2x12

I mix and match the above, depending on how I feel. I also use an OD808 with the Recto, and an Eventide delay with the Mark V.

Dream Rig
Same as above with;
a line mixer for the delay,
a midi switching box to control the amp,
a midi footcontroller to control the delay/amp together,
a Stiletto 4x12 for the fun of it.

Crafter/Ashland US built RX-720 (really good guitar believe it or not)

Want to build my own cab, can't find a v-30/12t75 cab that will run stereo, so looks like I'm going to have to make one
Schecter Hellraiser C1-FR
Schecter Hellraiser C7
Schecter Hellraiser C8(maybe, if I can ever afford, don't really NEED an 8)
Maybe some bareknuckle warpigs for my current 2 guitars
Macbook Pro for recording/synths
Apogee Duet for DI recording
and maybe a Microkorg to dick around on

[SirMyghin]

My current rig;

Carvin C66c w/ SS frets, hog body, incoming BKP rebel yells, tungsten sustain block. It is dream guitar material
Carvin LB75, a bass with near every option you can dream of (abalone blocks, SS frets, MM style buckers and the best flame top in the world all red, oiled neck, walnut body)
Mesa Mark V amp
Fender BXR

What I dream of:
Adding a custom / semi custom 7
finishing my pedal board (power supply, board, blue sky reverb, whammy, pog, chorus, EQ, loops, volume pedal, clean boost req'd still, maybe EH freeze too).
Maybe a bigger bass rig for playing out, but I like this amp, a not 15" speaker would be nice. Otherwise I only buy 'dream rig gear'.

 

[Daemoniac]

Well, I havent fixed up the fx routing properly (because obviously having everything in a line is just fucking ridiculous, and my guitar will no longer have tone...), and the Carl Martin Combinator 2 (the purple/black thing just before all the multi-fx) will be replaced with a Sound Sculpture Switchblade.

In general though, this is the more-or-less ideal rig, with just a half-decent set of monitors at the end (until I find a better set to put there... I'm new to monitors )

My current rig?

Nothing. Literally.
