My current rig is basically my dream rig. I have a nice studio setup to go along with a nice live rig.

Axe FX II > Yamaha HS50s > custom built computer with pretty great specs. I'd like better studio monitors, but these are fine for now.

Live:

EBMM Petrucci JPX or Ibanez RGT2020H > Mesa Single Rectifier > Mesa oversized recto with V30s. Pedals in the current rig are a TS9, Strymon blueSky Reverberator, Boss DD-6, Line 6 DL-4.

When I get my Axe dialed in better it will replace my Recto.

I also have a bunch of other shit that I don't even use. Fender 50th Anniversary Deluxe Strat, 1992 Jackson Rhoads Standard (Japanese, with Duncans), Gibson LP Special, Mesa Transatlantic TA-15, Hughes & Kettner Triplex. And a bunch of pedals I can't even remember.

Pretty happy. I'm pretty damn close to my dream rig.

Honestly, I'm freakishly close. A good monitor and MIDI controller and I'm done. It's a scary feeling, but awesome!

Dream:
A custom guitar of course, but i would take a real nice Jackson or Caparison.

An ENGL head would nice as well as nice H&K

Oversized cab with v30's




I like my rig now, but i was on a budget and i wanted the most bang for my buck. And since i don't currently play in a band i don't really care about the quality of the amp sims. Plus its like having 16 amps all in one which i liked the idea of having that many amps at my disposal.



My rig has changed a bit :lol:

I think I have reached my dream rig:

Dual rec 2 channel
Basson cab



Thats all I need.

My dream rig has changed a ton.

4 space rack containing:
Monster power pro 2500
Line 6 G90 Wireless
Axe FX II (Controlled by MFC 101)
Mackie HD1531

A few Ibanez guitars (Not familiar with exact models. Damn you Ibanez and your number tomfoolery!). Loaded with bareknuckle aftermaths.
Despite the setup, I'm not after Bulb's tone. Just the practicality of the Axe FX for live use. I'm a firm believer of 'less is more', ESPECIALLY for playing live.
