Don't think I've posted in this thread in a while. Things have changed, I've sold some stuff.

Current rig

Peavey Bandit 112 - Main amp now, actually sounds fucking awesome, better at low volume than my Randall RM100 did, and the "dollar to tone" ratio is better. Awesome amp.

Jackson DKMGT

BC. Rich Platinum Warlock - 80's vintage, with a DiMarzio X2N. Ferocious guitar, needs a new fretjob and a new bridge somewhere down the road.

That's it.

DREAM RIG

Ampeg VH 140C combo

Vader 2x12 extension cab for the VH140C

3 or 4 Gibson Les Paul Standards in various colors for various tunings. These guitars just work for any style.

Pedalboard consisting of a power supply, ISP Decimator, and a BOSS HM-2, and finito.

Why don't I have this? Ampeg needs to reissue the amp, I could get a car for what the guitars would cost me, and I have $3000 to last me until summer.

Current:

Ibanez 1527
Blackstar HT-1R
Sennheiser 595
E-MU 1616m
Cort X6
Noname acoustic and classical
Old Yamaha 61 key keyboard with synth action

Realistic dream:

Ibanez 1527
E-MU 1616m
Sennheiser 595


Crunch lab + Liquifire for 1527
Shure SM57
A pair of $600-700 active monitors
Ibanez BTB676
Decent bass combo
Akai MPK-88 (or any other 88 key midi controller with weighted action)
Korg padKONTROL
Behringer BCF2000 and BCR2000
Blackstar HT-5 (or any other quiet combo with fx loop and proper eq)
Tubescreamer pedal (any "warm" booster with lots of mids will do)
Couple of effect pedals (reverb, delay etc.), a noise gate and a good tuner

Also, 1920x1200 ~24" IPS monitor, ~60gb (not absurdly expensive) SSD drive, two or three 1-2gb HDDs, better keyboard and mouse. Oh, and a comfortable chair with adjustable armrests for guitar playing (this should be on top of the list, to be honest, 'cause my current chair is atrocious).

Insane dream:

A massive house/studio in some quiet middle-of-nowhere place with tons, upon tons, upon tons of all sorts of equipment and instruments.

Hey, hows your TH30? I'm thinking of getting one, or a Laney ironheart, as they're similarly priced. Also, is the Savage the old 60 watt or 120 watt version?

I have posted in the "dream rig" and "current rig" threads before, but they're always changing and evolving. Here's what I have currently:

Carvin DC727
Monster Power 900 PRO
Line6 Relay wireless (the rack one, whichever model that is)
Line6 Pod X3 Pro
TC Electronic Nova Delay (for a 7ms left channel only delay)
Egnater Tweaker 15 head/112 cab

What I'd like:
Another Carvin (hardtail)
Line6 Pod HD500
Second Egnater tweaker head/cab to run my rig in stereo

That's pretty much it. I have an Engl rig I'm probably going to try to unload...I'd much prefer just a Fireball 100 and cab, but I don't have the room and the current rig works well enough.

My dream rig is coming together :shred: but I mainly have cheap taste :lol:

Current rig:
Ibanez RG7620
BKP Nailbomb
Boss SD-1
Boss NS-2 (on the way)
Peavey 6505
Marshall MG100DFX (used as cab - flubby and sounds like dick)

Dream rig
Ibanez LACS :lol:
BKP Nailbomb
Maxon OD808
Possibly an ISP Decimator G String
Peavey 6505
VHT/Fryette Fatbottom 4x12 & Orange PPC 4x12

so nearly there, just need the rather expensive cabs, noise suppressor/gate and OD pedal.
Wish I had monies :noway:

Buuuuuuut might solve the cab issues with a DIY cab build :idea:

Wow, this has changed a lot:

Current Rig:
Ibanez RG7620
BKP Nailbomb
Axe FX Ultra
Behringer FCB1010

Dream Rig:
Some kind of custom swamp ash 7 string with a maple fan fret neck
BKP Aftermath
Line 6 Relay
Axe FX II
MFC101 and a couple of expression pedals
Mackie HD1531


Really had to think about the backline in my dream rig though - my axe fx and fcb are fine by themselves, they may have cured my amp/controller GAS! Just the guitar that needs upgrading now but I'm not in a massive hurry to drop loads of money on a custom.
